There are some mentally unstable drivers out here..

I generally always pull my curtains as soon as I park for the night. However, whether I did or did not, I'm not going to stare out my side window at the person next to me. If they choose to, and the fact that I'm sitting there bothers them, that's on them.

 

I am generally never window to window with other drivers. Trailers I pull are shorter than 53 ft. and I don't like my hood sticking out beyond the hoods of these modern day wanna be conventional glorified cabovers that are so popular. The problem is, that puts me in a position where that guy pulling the reefer blasting on high speed all night and decides he doesn't like his current parking spot and drives around the parking lot o find the guy with the truck shut off sleeping like a baby, ya, puts my sleeper right next to his reefer.

 

I parked at Flying j Winslow, AZ last night. around 8pm old kenworth with reefer parked next to me. The reefer was starting up every 45min-1 hour. it was old reefer and was noisy. two hours later when it was cold he fired engine of the truck. the truck was purging air every 30-40 seconds... I have ear plugs in the truck for this kind of situations. ...another driver may find different approach for this kind of situations..

 

Only "some"?

 

I prefer to park in “quiet zones”.

 

That is funny stuff right there!

 

Ah, remember the good ole days before elogs when the feller with the noisy reefer and the truck constantly spitting air would only take a 4 hour 10 hour break beside you and leave?
