So I parked at the far quiet end of the truckstop.....

Throw on some Metalica and sing yourself to sleep, if you want a quiet nights sleep with no noise the truck stop is the last place to find peace.

 

what worse is parking next too flatbed, and with high winds going thru the parking lot and hitting his-her side of this flatbed trailer and they make that funny sound all night as they vibrate from being too tight , man that's all full noise, it's really loud too, lmao, yes i have too agree way too many cry baby's , if they can't hear there play station , then they got too whine about the noise, i rember when i drove cab over , if you could drive that rattle trap and sleep in it,you could get used too anything , my thing, was on the back for the breather was loose, something was , if i idle the truck, it would bang against the back of the sleeper, man that was a piece of junk,thank's crst, for that, so wake up , this trucking 101 and wear the noise is part of the game.

 

Respectfully speaking, and in retrospect of this thread, is there any possible way to not follow this topic anymore, because we went from talking about reefers and now we are talking about the straps, and feeling we are getting off topic here, to keep the clutter of emails to a low. It is evident it is a hindrance to some drivers and that is something we cannot change, but only they can change their sleeping habits, which this topic is going to be ongoing, because it will become a flaming topic, and perhaps this is for the moderators on this website. Whether, we agree with this topic or not, I would like to petition the moderators and if it may be pleasing to them, if we could request the closing of this topic. Thanks!

 

How are we getting off topic? This thread isn't just about noisy reefers, its about being too noisy in general in truckstop parking lots. People complaining about idling or running reefers and APU's next to them when they want total silence.......... In a truckstop, of all places.

Of course, there's gonna be some degree of flaming, because these days, people complain about ####-near everything. Nobody's happy.

Ever hear the sayings, "You'd whine if you got kicked in the butt with a new pair of boots!" or, "You'd b***h if you got ice cubes in hell!"?

My guess, the reason why the mods haven't intervened is because no one has really done anything wrong yet. Sure, there will be a few smart-arse comments, but what did you expect?

 

They have a whining gland in their body. It releases a chemical into their body giving them a euphoric high similar to after sex! Ahhhhhhhhhh!

They can't even park between the lines and follow "No Parking" signs. I'm sure that would go over well.

That's the only thing that bothers me. Drain my tanks? That's too much work.

That's the good thing about living in the country. Nobody owns a leaf blower. If the mower won't grind it up or blow it into the neighbors yard..... oh well! I've been there though when I lived in FL. Landscape crews like to start at the break of dawn. Especially after a late night at the bar.

I'd drown it out with the TV. Then you dream about police chases through truck stops and stuff!

 

Simple solution. Pee out the window.

 

If I lay down in a truck stop and go to sleep, I am tired. If I am tired, just about nothing short of an airplane crashing next to my truck will wake me up. I love the sound of a reefer, the noise is soothing. But then, I have spent my life around them. The sound of an air dryer popping off is no big deal, and people walking by talking will not wake me up. If you drive a truck, TRY to be courteous, and think of others.On the other hand , if you drive a truck, TRY to learn to live with way trucking is, has been, and always will be. It ain't going to change.

 

I heard wal-mart has huggies and wet wipes on sale.....IDN ..... Just sayin

 

I do not care about the noise myself, if you are tired enough sleep comes sometime.
