    Funny thing is I'm driving a Cascadia, with my nice new Thermo King whisper unit "howling away", "waking the dead", and I just had to move because some old fat slob from DART has a beat up 387 Pete with with his air dryer going off on cue every 10 seconds.

    Now I could be a real A-hole and complain about him not fixing it, but who knows, maybe it just started acting up in the last hour, and maybe he just wants a hot shower and a hot meal. Maybe he drove through the Oil Fields in ND or TX as they struck fresh oil, and had several beehives fall on his windshield on the way to where I'm parked, to get his rig looking like it hasn't seen a truck wash or drop of rain since the George Bush left the White House.

    We all love the phrase "if you bought it, a truck brought it." Well unless you eat only from your own garden, own your own slaughterhouse, raise only your own livestock and poultry, and never eat any packaged perishable food:

    "If you're eating it a REEFER brought it."

    So do you yank people's 5th wheel release on them too if they get on your nerves? Maybe you could pour some sugar or sand in the fuel tanks while you're at it. Why stop with simply shutting off a reefer? Let your ... cough cough "27 years" of professional experience show and stick it to 'em.

    Was that before or after they took a shower with the other two JBhunt drivers also parked at said truckstop?

    Not always.

    Vented dry vans haul melons and potatos. Not to mention dry vans haul about 80% of whats for sell at the local market. Now if it's fresh meat and most fresh veggie/fruit, then yes a reefer brought it.

    I believe I made that clear in my post about fresh frozen and packaged food.

    Not sure, but will say this.

    When two JB drivers ask for a team shower ticket that makes me a little nervous, the twinkle in those eyes are scary.
     
    Everett and Logan76 Thank this.
