    Delivering Reefer loads, especially late at night, and taking 4 to 6 hrs to finish. Sometimes all the pallets are off of the truck within the first 30 minutes, but then they have to break it all down and that can take forever. And then some of the places make you sit in a cramped break room the whole time or sometimes stand by the friggin trailer while its 25 degrees in there. Eventually I started hauling dry freight because a whole lot more drop n' hook. Get in and then get the F out of there!

    never had a single person mess with my reefer. Just get out of the truck, do your workout, walk your pit bull for at least a half hour, then relax for the evening.

    Speaking of another pet peeve. The 300+ lb lard are who is standing in the middle of the truckstop smelling like fromunda cheese while all showers are available.

    Should have told them they can keep it if the "operator" coroner l couldn't be bothered to at least help.
