Re-read your original post. By it's tone, it does (did) appear that you had a problem with the driver idling.

I usually do too. My last truck had a bad vibration when idling, though, so I shut it off as often as I could. It was a really high-pitch one that tickled your ears & nose.

Hey retirednavysnipe,

How do you get 3000 miles per week when reefer work oftentimes involves being delayed
at grocery warehouses?

Very simple. You keep the door shut and you drive. I pulled reefer for many years and got over 3000 miles a week easy.

You can get 3000+ miles a week driving almost any type of freight but it just depends on a lot of things. Like the company, length of run, freight lanes, weather, the type of driver, etc. The drivers that I hate are the ones that question why they aren't getting any miles by their own doing you know the ones that sit and b*tch in truck stops and terminals all day long. Many times I have heard drivers turning down loads and then wonder why they aren't getting any more loads coming their way, saying things like "I don't like running in NYC, Chicago, L.A., etc", "I was suppose to be home", "That was only a 150 mile run", "That was a driver unload" etc. Just cracks me up when I hear it from time to time. I agree with the above poster, keep that left door closed and that right foot planted and you'll be fine.
