I feel guilty about the noise, but oh well.

It sucks but it’s part of the biz. We all always get over it. Your air dryer isn’t spitting off every 15 seconds is it?

 

Remember when Thermo King come out with the Whisper Edition. Nobody could believe how quite it was. Today people still think reefers are to loud. Maybe when we have the electric Tesla truck they will make an electric reefer

 

Been there done that. Just how it is sometimes. As a reefer jockey, I do try and park by other reefers and avoid parking next to dry vans, car haulers and flat beds. But, you can't always.
Personally, I'll take a running reefer over an old clanky long nose anyday. Only time I've ever moved in a parking lot because of noise. Had an old clanky long nose beside me, geesh it was loud and annoying!!!

 

Dont worry about it. We all like to eat food, therfore we need u reefer drivers to keep er hummin all night

 

Jesus. The reefer is the least of our problems!!

Seriously though, people knew what this business entailed. It's a noisy business.

 

Eh reefer noise doesnt bother me. I just turn on my fan when one backs in next to my rig and it drowns it out most of the time. Then again i slept through my team driver driving our truck into a ditch once so......

 

Parked between two APUs. Let’er fire on high and defrost away. If it’s a Carrier, all the better. He says while parked at a quiet TS with nobody nearby even idling. About to start it up to precool.

 

Yep, that's where we are today, someone complaining about the noise at a truckstop. They also buy property near an airport too or rebuild in hurricane prone areas. It's admirable you think like that, but a trucker has to leave their conscience at home sometimes, or you won't make a dime. Besides, those old TK's made a racket John Force would be proud of. We've come a long ways in reefers.
