would i be a jerk if......

Move to another space or get earplugs.

Messing with another driver's truck could get you in a lot of financial and possibly physical trouble.

Unhooking the battery of ANY computer controlled vehicle can cause a lot of damage.

 

That can annoying but never mess with someone's truck. lol

 

Yup I have thought of it. Fear of bad karma is what stops me.

 

Great idea. Won't work for one. Plus you just ####ed their alternator and possibly every ECM on the truck too.

 

Yeah but now he can sleep!

Think of the children!

 

How would disconnecting the battery shut off the truck? Plus, BFD. If you don't like noise, at night you are in the wrong industry. Let me guess, you're the ahole that turns off someones reefer because you can't handle the noise?
Well, a truckstop is a loud place, always has been, and always will be. If it keeps you up get some noise canceling headphones.

 

OP didn't say he/she DID or even WOULD mess with someone's truck.

And yes @Platinum Blonde Skinhead , the thought has crossed my mind. I wouldn't do it though.

Not only for the constant pressure reliefs. But also the loud reefer unit. The engine fan kicking on every 30 seconds. And on and on.

And let's not forget the super trucker rolling through at 2am with straight stacks and his engine brake on high. A holes need 20 pounds of sand dumped in each tank.

 

Messing with another drivers livelihood could end up getting you killed..I wouldn’t recommend messing with their truck.

It really blows and we’ve probably all had to endure what you did.. Nothing you can do but move or if possible pull out and nose into your spot..

Try getting the evil thoughts out of your head and replace them with ones that will help you relax and sleep better.

Remember, there could always be another reason that driver is idling their truck.. I’ve personally had issues twice now with my truck and had to idle nonstop for days until I could get to a shop to repair it.. Wire on starter went bad under load and had to get a pull start from a wrecker ( another reason I will never buy a truck with an automatic )

For now just take a chill pill, get some earplugs..
