    Get yourself a pair of these foam ear plugs. They are a godsend in these situations and they only cost a couple of bucks.

    Didn’t ya’ll all ran stacks though? We got many with weed burners now and when they run dirty it hangs under the truck and creeps back into the cab.

    Well back in the 'old days", the average truck stop (we had many to choose from in almost any area) wasn't packed like sardines they are today.
    There were many ratty trucks back then, more than now. But it just wasn't a problem to get away from them.

    Unilateral confrontation is always risky. You did the right thing by moving. To be commended.
     
    twelve25oh9 Thanks this.
