    When I started driving 13 years ago, if you got a reefer with a Carrier unit on it, it was basically like being beat over the head with a phone book for week.

    Fast forward 13 years, and everyone of them that comes near me is still a loud, noisy, wtf pos.

    How is that possible? I thought those things cost more than my truck?

    I have a carrier APU and that sucker sounds like a reefer on defrost the whole time it’s on. It’s really neat. :bom:

    I severely dislike the drone echo noise they have .. At times it’s hard on my old ears

    Carriers are cheaper to purchase and maintain ..parts cheaper too .
    Anyone that thinks these are noisy needs to listen to an old tk nwd 30 ...now they were loud ! Lol

    Yeah Thermo King seems to rule the roost when it comes to the best refrigeration unit.

    I wouldn't own one unless I didn't have to put up with being near it in operation.

    Even the old TK classic wasn't as bad to me.

    Yes Carrier reefer units are loud. Carrier APU's are very loud. I know. I have one of each every day.
