    Mega fleet trucks, white volvos, white cascadias, anything Chicago based, or California based.

    A newer truck doing a regen, the fumes are so noxious. If the fumes were tested I bet they would be so toxic it would be illegal.

    I usually find a nice spot in a business area to park and sleep, truck stops are so overrated.

    Neither of those bother me.
    Going to have noise in a truckstop regardless of what's around you. If not a reefer, then an idling truck, APU, or trucks driving through the lot.

    As for livestock trailers, I generally only smell them when out of the truck. Windows closed and air vents on recirculation so hardly get the smell of them in the truck. Otherwise those smells aren't any different from smelling exhaust from idling trucks/APUs/Reefers or the smell of peoples urine poured all over the lot.

    Reefers running never bothered me, kinda lulled me to sleep, of course I pulled one so maybe that's why...[/QUOTE]
    I pulled reefers for my first year driving I slept better when it was running than I did empty

    Straight pipes and angled parking. So they are right next to my sleeper. Have had to pull forward so they weren’t two feet away from my bunk.

    How about you stop complaining until you stop eating meat and reefer products.

    I'll continue to complain about reefers while eating meat just like my wife will continue to complain about me and still let me sleep in the bed
