I'm wondering if the ATA has ever lobbied Congress to establish a "Reefers Only" parking zone in truck stops. For the second night in a row I got flanked by these guys. Almost had to walk to a Walmart to find some ear muffs.

They filmed that movie Reefer Madness at my high school back in the 50’s

Very cool...Didn't know how many would make the connection.

Diversity doesn't work in trucking. It’s that combining them destroys cultural consensus and shared values, which are genetically encoded in every population, by averaging two or more distinctive and different cultures. Tanker drivers, reefer drivers, flatbed drivers, etc. are just fine until they mix, then it's like throwing gasoline on a fire to put it out. This is America; you must accept it and adjust.
Trucker61016, Lepton1, Highway Sailor and 1 other person Thank this. -
Yeah, get the government involved. That will fix it. Hahaha
Nose in. Problem solvedWesternPlains, Lepton1, Hatt91 and 4 others Thank this. -
Just do like all of us do, go out and shut them off.Vic Firth, Bumper, Oldironfan and 1 other person Thank this.

I purposely park NOSE in, as far away from fuel pumps as possible.
This eliminates 90% of fat or lazy or new truckers, plus reduces the idling noise from motors & reefers, since I'm facing away from all that madness. -
You must be having a very good day. If that' the best (or worst) 5hibg you can comment/complain about.
-
Better hope you don't get caught doing that. That driver might come out of the truck with a tire thumper and " get your attention" .Trucker61016, magoo68 and Oldironfan Thank this.
-
Agreed. Kill that reefer and Im a coming out with thumper at the very least. We will have a knot school right there.
Im deaf I could care less about these reefers unless they quit working well or are shut off.
If you need ear protection get the kind used for shooting. You'll be fine.
If that's the worst of it you are doing great.
Congress has no juristiction anyway, it's private property generally. We don't need no stinking government to handle our boo boos.JTAN, Trucker61016, tscottme and 1 other person Thank this. -
Don't blame me blame the people of Pennsylvania. They are the ones who demand that I bring them forty thousand pounds of frozen chicken wings every Sunday! I got to rest some time. Speaking of reefer madness maybe they got the munchies up there.
Trucker61016, x1Heavy and mattymatt Thank this.
