    Then you shouldn't be thinking about driving a truck..... or doing anything else that might require ANY physical effort whatsoever.

    Nope, but I've suffered chronic wrist pain from *other* activities. :biggrin_2554:

    Most times i liked the reefer back there , i got used to it, then when it wasnt back there i couldnt sleep or at home ether, still to this day i run with a box fan at end bed , just for the noise, but yes once in the truck and it cyly on off , it gental vib the truck and that put me too sleep ,the reefers i didnt care about was the show runners with 6 inch stacks opean, along with opean reefer stack, now them were loud truck, but i think i take my reefer over then jesus freak in a bright pink peterbilt listen to who knows what playing thru his 3200 watt sterio, parked next too me, and keeping the whole truck stop awake, :biggrin_2554: :biggrin_2559::biggrin_25523: Everett.

    When you pull a reefer, you quickly get used to the constant hum of the engine. No problem. Pulling refrigerated freight, you are usually running hard, and not getting much sleep anyway.:biggrin_25510: When you do get a few hours to lay down, you will go right to sleep. Never notice the unit running.

    Naw I gonna park right next to a skate board just because one of the skate boards woke me up one night and I had to move. But it wasnt the trailer making noise. This sheet head truck was louder than a 747 10" pipes that stuck about 2" above his flat top I dont know how the hello he sleep in that thing it had to be the loudest truck I have ever heard. I just dropped my trailer and went to the car parking lot

    The only time I was tempted to sleep in the reefer, it was 100 degrees in the shade and the A/C went out in my loaner truck......I came real close to moving my mattress to the wagon!:biggrin_25525:

    Sleeping in a tanker might be quieter. Like a sensory deprivation chamber. :yes2557:
