Light Sleeper Going reefer??

Chicken haulers are not supposed to sleep!!!

 

Ya, what she said, you will get used to it, after a few sleepless nights you be so tired you'll sleep though anything!

 

I'm a light sleeper as well, but you'll be surprised how fast you can get used to the reefer running, Most of the time, when the reefer is on cycle run, I'll put it on continuously, this way I will not notice the start and stop threw the night

 

Wait till you're making a Walmart drop and you wake up in a cold sweat panic because it's too quiet.

Then you remember you dropped your trailer.



I cannot confirm or deny this is a true story, but I know the answer LOL.

 

Or when u got a 2 am apt back in to dock wake up in same cold sweat thinking u slept through apt time ....i mean i,ve never done it but i,ve heard stories

 

One time I was on a Tyson load I set my alarm for Central time which I ran on. I forgot I crossed barely over into the Eastern time zone. The dispatcher called me about 10 minutes before my 2 am appointment. Blah, blah, blah, they are on Eastern time, if you are late you will be fined $400 by Tyson, blah, blah, blah!! Click, Varoom, out of the parking lot I flew as the customer was on the other side of the interstate. The light at the off ramp turned red! . F the red light after no soul in sight!.... Varooom!!! I made it with 2 minutes to spare. That was my fastest check in. The clerk was laughing because she was talking with our night dispatcher watching it unfold from the guard shack.

 

OK I'll tell my most alarming delivery I ever had, Had a 03:45 delivery at Wal-Mart in Paul's valley, OK I awoke around 06:30 jump out of the bunk in a frantic state and tied to check in, Only to remember, I already delivered, but forgot, DUH!

 

its worse when you go home only to wake up every 3 hrs because you didnt hear the reefer kick on

 

Know that feeling as well

 

Ear plugs if you are a really light sleeper...but maybe you'll just end up getting used to it.
