    I try and park next to one the reefer helps me sleep for some reason. Was to sleep with one running when I tried Prime's training programme back in 2010 that was a bull**** program. Fell so much better that I paid my way for my CDL

    I don't even notice the reefer running. Even when it's minus 20. I do wear a sleep machine so maybe that helps.

    It was a blast working for them before Tommy Grimes took over running the place into the ground.
    Drivers just starting out might not mind slow trucks with computer logs.
