    Hm I wonder which is the greater risk, driving in heavy daytime traffic or driving at night w/ less visibility/more frozen roads. I tend to get drowsier at night just from nothing to look at but the road lines but its prob just needing to adjust to the sleep sched

    Some have problems adjusting to night driving. After getting used to it, you'll hate that bright sunshine glaring through the truck windows.

    I haven't done reefers but the friends that have say the hardest part is not having any kind of sleep schedule. Deliver at midnight one day pickup at noon the next.

    They do that on purpose. Just to irritate the flatbedders.

    Not true. It's white noise to help you sleep. Drowns out the Apu.

    Nope. Only baffled chemical tanks I've seen are a couple that were dedicated to a single product and rarely cleaned. Baffled trailers cannot be cleaned to the extent that no trace of the previously hauled product are present
