    No, we don't. I like my quiet Jake that I can use in town and areas where they say no Jake.

    I love a loud jake...on somebody else's truck.
    Our jakes are relatively quiet and they're going to stay that way.
    We do a lot of our trucking in and around our home town and other places where people see and hear us every day. It's called being a good neighbor.

    He’s telling the truth, I saw him racing through the truck stop with his old beat up truck and the jakes on.
    He even had his cowboy costume on.

    Using Jakes in a parking lot is almost as dumb as speeding in the parking lot. I dont use them by houses even unless I need to, it's just an ####### thing to do.
