    What do you do when they see a Swift truck pull in beside you and they all shift to the other side and almost roll you over? Oh wait, that's only when sheep see a Swift...my bad...:confused:

    Used to run reefer for years. Now I try to park beside them because it is like a lullaby for me.

    I'm seriously jealous, I wish I could sleep like death, I'm a very lite sleeper and never really seem to be able to shut my mind down.

    This is going to sound funny but really it's pretty sad, the BEST sleep I ever get is when I go in for my Colonoscopy every couple of years, when they put me out it is like I'm in heaven, I get pretty pissy when they try and wake me up, lol

    Actually, I think I am due for a check, YES, fist pump!!!
     
    Al. Roper and racemaxx24 Thank this.

    Back in the day, they were called resonators. It was the ultimate in cool to have a big old boat that you couldn't hear running. To accomplish that, you'd have a regular exhaust system and then hang a glasspack at the very end of the line with a short turn-down pipe. My '76 "Nine Eight" was whisper quiet.

    No wonder her 4-banger sounded like a pair of big-bore dirtbikes.

    The years I pulled a refer when I got home I use to park the lawn mower up next the bedroom window and crank it up so I could get some sleep.

    I keep ear plugs, I caught someone turning off a Walmart reefer, the police got involved and the guy that did it was charged with criminal mischief and vandalism.

    The same guys that complain about reefers or apus are the ones that'll wee on a paved lot
