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

Once again people forget they live in America. I'll do my thing and you do yours. As long as I'm not breaking the law leave me alone. If I am breaking the law and not endangering anybody's life leave me alone and #### off.

 

But you do not have a right to disturb others, especially when those "others" are OTR truck drivers trying to rest before driving their 80K lb rigs again.

It's not illegal to drive around a truck stop blowing your air horn but I don't advise you do that saying that you're not breaking the law so leave you alone.

Truck stops are noisy places but if you have a mechanical failure that is not allowing a driver to sleep you need to get it fixed. Or you might wind up getting it "fixed" in the middle of the night.

Like I've said, my truck is well insulated and with the APU very few issues bother me but with older less insulated trucks I can see it being a serious issue.

 

It is annoying, no doubt. I’ve gotten upset about it a few times...
But getting upset is what keeps me awake. So now I just idle my own truck to drowned it out. If need be alittle music on lightly on top of that and I can’t hear my own reefer running...
I am responsible for my own sleep. Getting pissed about someone else’s ‘situation’ is just self centered. Like someone said.... truck stops are loud places. Find some industrial park or find a hidey hole to stay in if you want dead quiet... truck stops are rarely quiet...
Never touch someone’s truck without asking permission. Ever.

 

cameras are watching you just about every where
if your too weak to deal with him stay away

 

Or they got a CPAP machine going so they can sleep

But yeah I’m sure you’re right, the almighty knowing one

Funny how you say the human race is getting pussified ... while complaining about noise coming from a truck at a truck stop...

 

Yeah, the pffft every 10 seconds is annoying as ***k. I can deal with reefers, idling, etc but that... ugh. Really though, if you need quiet to sleep, this is the wrong industry. At this point its weird when I go home. I need a fan or some other white noise to help me sleep.

 

Ah hell try sleeping in a railroad yard, truckers are suppose to be able to sleep anywhere. lol

 

Nope. Big diff between air dryer and air horn.

 

And exactly how would breaking that guy's seal help your situation? If you have a problem with him either man up and talk to him or let it go.
