    I don't mind idling so much as the guy that feels it's a good idea to see if his low air buzzer works at 2am!!!

    Okay there is a Wabasto for bunk heating, but what is the technology solution for when guys pull in next to you with a Cattle Trailer and the cows or bulls keep mooing or kicking the trailer?

    OMG that is way worse than even reefers.

    I always preferred the cattle truck over a reefer or a truck that was fireing up & shutting down every 20 minutes. Added benefit is they mask the disgusting smell of the truck stop parking lot with that fresh country air. Who knows, a couple weeks and whatever was in that trailer might be on my plate...and the thought of a nice steak or a good burger always makes me happy.

    That's the most peaceful sleep. The trailer makes the truck sway a bit. Let it get still and I'm awake instantly

    Buy a cheap fan to override the outside noise. I'm the opposite I can't sleep without noise love the sound of big trucks idling.
