When you sleep in a reefer, how loud is the noise?

    Only join the military if they are using the new "Whisper-Quiet" artillery.

    Otherwise, you'll be kept awake.


    I'm sorry, but Lupe has been going through this for months....looking for Nirvana in trucking...no noise, good miles, perfect scheduling, etc.

    Lupe, sorry...I don't think you're cut out for it based upon your posts of the last several months. Just my honest opinion.

    It's loud Lupe, and people don't like you parking next to them. You adapt to it and then find it difficult to sleep with the reefer off.


    P.S. I don't think Lupe is going to become a driver. I think he's writing one of those
    "for dummies books". "Truck driving for dummies".

    Reefers only make excessive noise when they find the Doritos or those Sun Chips with the infernal compostable bag.












    Wait, wrong reefer.

    That dare is funny.. largely cause I am in the back row with a bunch of reefers and most of the skateboards are up front..

    And here comes another reefer to the back row...

    Does that mean manual shift is very hard on the hand? What if I have thin, rather weak wrists?

    Does anyone know any truckers with rather thin, weak wrists? Do they suffer from chronic wrist pain from trying to push and pull the manual shift?

    They've all already had their "Gender alteration surgery" and are working in a different profession now, usually to be found around the Ontario, CA truckstops.

    you may need to find a truck co . with auto's. i see that your only 21 & thinking about becoming a driver, truck driving ia a demanding job, odd hour's, you must be physicaly able to do the job & i don't mean just driving. as for thin wrist, you should be able to shift without forceing the shifter into gear.
