I tried to put an old school smiley in that message. For those who don't know me that was a joke. Second issue with mobile version no edit button
I can't say I enjoyed refers next to me when I pulled flats or dry vans. Enjoyed it even less when I pulled refers. But, those RVs in the truck parking certainly were an issue. Especially when you sit down in the restaurant and the (obvious) occupants of the RVs complain about having to see truck drivers there. I don't know about shooting out their tires, but I'd like to slap them and tow their RV to POINTS WEST of San Francisco.

These days, I get to deal with Harley Davidsons cracking the throttle past my house. At 2 AM, I'd like to set out police spike strips.

And, considering the selection of smileys, I don't even bother anymore.

It's a defense mechanism...

If you don't do the same things as the 4-wheelers, they'll run you off the road.

And, if you think flatbedders are bad, watch the bull-wagons sometime. Also, some of the portable parking lots.

For that metter, vans and refers that ain't had a UA in a while.....

Flatbedders are some of the best I've seen. Unless you've been watching some of the local drivers around Chicago.

And, Reb, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't looked at the number of posts. Nicely pointed out.

I pull flatbed and when I pull into a truck stop I look for a reefer to park beside.
That way I know he won't be upset about my APU running.
Maybe you could try nosing in or even get some of those foam earplugs?
When I go to bed I'm tired enough that I can sleep pretty much anywhere.

Hey Milkman you're right there are a lot of crybabay truckers out there and yes some come here just to vent. Ignore them if they bother you but there are some quality people here too and tons of good info.

Maybe I shouldn't have pointed it out but we do get the ocaissional troll in here. If you're legit I apologize and welcome aboard.
