    Refer running HA.
    Wait till your sleeping and some O/O pulls right beside with his awesome 379 with the super sized stacks running straight pipes set up on high idle. So loud it makes your truck vibrate. Makes you wonder if it is that bad outside how can he even get any sleep I woke up and moved

    Here's the rub you complain about them being inconsiderate and rude and yet you expect everyone to fly by your rules! If someone parking next to you running there truck or having a reefer running then you nee to find a nice quiet spot on the side of a road somewhere. parking lots are always gonna have people idling reefers running idiots peeing and lizards looking ! that's just the way it is.

    I have pulled both, once pulled a Reefer so loud I couldn't sleep. When I got up, 3 trucks on either side of me were gone. But I understand . You find a nice spot way away from others, plenty of spots available and seems like some one always comes and parks next to you.... They just think like you. Except they idle. What about car haulers with their bottom exhaust???!!!?? Lucky if you wake up at all with that much CO2 blowing right under your bunk!

    i wanna know , how is a driver too know if he is parked , is sleeping, Well that is quite simple , GO BANG on his DOOR and when he gives you the :biggrin_25512: look you ask if he was SLEEPING and you just wanted to inform him that your Truck / Trailer will be running and possibly keep him AWAKE.
