    That is where God invented ear plugs to be inserted, because eventually you are going to wake up, and your bladder is saying, "Hey, wake up and drain me from all of this urine". As Bill Engvall would say, "Here's your sign".......lol

    Not a good idea to shut off some guys refer. Somebody is gonna eat the food on that trailer and could possibly be your family.

    I'm glad the noise of trucks idling and such doesn't bother me in the least. It would truly be difficult to get sleep in these truck stops if I were so delicate, lol.

    I cannot under any circumstance sleep with pure silence. I always have my fans turned on high at home or APU on full in the truck. Getting between two running reefers Is like a bedtime story

    dang it man, i think you got more problems that idling trucks. i mean ya got to find papers to remember what ya been doing 29 years????

    but really it happens. i got a flatbed and an apu , many times when i see a place between two trucks i will nose in, so as the apu may not bother them. but then i catch heck because i nose in, been threads on here saying ya cant back , if ya nose in. go figure.

    but really ear plugs or ear muffs might help, as long as ya dont forget the ear muffs and walk in the truckstop. well at least ya wont hear everyone laughing

    Yeah I think that is the thing ! everyone wants to complain. just get in the truck and drive ! I would give my eye teeth to be able to drive today, you guys that want everything perfect and everything your way need to go home and get on food stamps so you can get what you want every 1st and 15th.
     
    Everett Thanks this.
