Is it just me or has any other flatbedder have the experience that reefer drivers seem to have a knack for parking amongst flat beds even when the lot is empty. Several times I have parked off by my lonesome and along comes a reefer (usually Prime) that just has to have the space next to my flatbed even though the parking lot is virtually empty. Same thing this evening, parked at the back of the truck stop with some other flatbeds and step deck and here comes a reefer and parks right in between us, even though there is plenty of open spaces. I have also noticed that reefer drivers can't seem to back into a space unless they are backing next to another truck. In other words, they can't back into an empty space in the middle of empty spaces.
What is it with reefers parking next to us flatbedders?

I know, what’s the deal with reefers? Sometimes they’re like vrooom and then other times they aren’t running. Then they will start back up and go vvvvrrroooommmmm. They are weird.
