What would you do, honestly?


Share space? Im normally telling bobtailers to go f*** them self's cuz' they take w/o asking. Have way too many block me when I'm nosed in due to reefers. Ask and I will accommodate - take and it'll be ALOT different. And don't get me started on reefers....
 
For all of the members of the I Hate Reefers Club:

You ask, "Why do I have to listen to them?" "Why do they have to park next to me?" And other similar questions.

My answer is this: You eat, don't you? How in the hell are your groceries supposed to arrive at the market so you don't have to grow and harvest or slaughter them yourself? Do you like to eat? I know I do. Since I'm too lazy/busy/whatever to grow my own food, I will tolerate the guy hauling it and keeping it fresh or frozen so I won't get sick on it. Since he is providing a vital service and I don't feel like dying because he's too tired to be driving, but he couldn't stop for rest because of all the bitchers, I do believe I will let him park next to me without complaint. I might grumble about a particularly aged and loud unit, but I won't be griping at him, giving him dirty looks or making him feel unwelcome. If I find his reefer engine to be intolerably obnoxious, I will move.

How is any of this my problem? I get all my food and everything I need from the store. To hell with the farmers blocking the road with their big stupid combine moving at 5 MPH. The friggen truckers running around for the sole purpose of slowing me down.


Honestly, In my KW I would not even notice a reefer running parked next to me.
 
I have never had a problem with reefers, honestly. After a month or two on the road, I was able to sleep through anything.

(Well, almost anything. I had a truck next to me one night that was spitting air every 30 seconds. That one bothered me.)

But reefers are not the worst thing out there. Rather have one of them next to me than someone with a barking dog. Or someone blaring the radio. Or someone ****ing off of their truck steps.

Or an APU with no muffler.

I seriously think those damn things should be required to have a stack on them.

I woulda been slowing and covering the brake, expecting Roehl to jump in my lane at any moment...or wreck.

He clearly was not paying attention, and/or expecting that he could stop on a dime.

That is a perfect example as to why we have to be watching everyone and anticipating.

ROEHL driver tried but the second car put a stop to it.. then the third... then he got all crabby with me.

There was a string behind me and he musta thought I'd brake, forcing them behind me to do the same, and allow his sorry ass to move left...

I'll post the rest later.
