@newmercmanhere we go again, trucknet’s number one drama queen has finally arrived, and as always nothing of any value to add, but this does not stop you from posting, does it?
Drama queen? Really? That’s funny, so you say adding nothing of value and yet your own posts are pure lies.
You do not turn fridges off, you may like to to tell people you do, but you don’t. Anybody with half a brain that reads a post from someone claiming to turn fridges off knows that it’s a lie.
I pull a fridge but I have never overnighted in a services yet so it’s a moot point. I do however have thebodd 45 in them and always try to park away from others. Having said that we all know that it’s not really possible to do that all of the time so inevitably someone is gonna be ■■■■■■ about the fridge parking near them. I’ll apologise in advance for that now! 
I will say though that if I catch you switching my fridge off I absolutely guarantee the end result will be both of us rolling around the ■■■■ stained carpark like errant schoolboys.

I hope you can run fast enough to catch me drive:lol::lol:
You’d be fine PD, it takes me that long to get my socks, boots, mandatory hi vis and hard hat on you’d be in the next county before I got out! 
People are genuinely advocating turning off other drivers fridges?
Wow, what a bunch of cretins there are in this industry.
As an aside,I would like to see someone have a go at turning mine off!
Last night was funny.
I was woken by a loud mouth Neanderthal gobbing off at a fridge driver - the fridge was parked in the services when I arrived at around half 4 pm.
The fridge was on stop/start but wasn’t off 1 min between stopping and starting, so guess it’s either set really sensitive or it’s insulation is ■■■■■■? No idea why he didn’t switch it to constant, but some of the Arla trailers I used to pull had the stop / start locked off.
But, when I went to sleep the fridge didn’t wake me up, but the gobby ■■■■ did, telling the driver to turn the damned fridge off or he would.
Next thing fridge goes quiet and ■■■■■■■■ starts mouthing off.
Anyway, I gets out of bed, puts some pants on and starts to put my shoes on expecting it to kick off big time, when the driver of the fridge truck gets out and turns the fridge back on, gobby starts mouthing off again and shouting “come on then ya fat ■■■■■ and fridge driver hit him once… That was the end of it and I gave him my details as a ‘witness’ and went back to bed.

come on then pray tell [/b] Driver picks up a load from Belgium has a delivery in the UK or Spain what’s he meant to do park in a layby
Arrange a trailer swap somewhere maybe or arrange secure parking beforehand like the ADR drivers do, otherwise do whatever the zb you want but don’t moan when someone turns the zb off…!!!
EH?
I did ADR and we parked ‘securely’ that was it… A services or a truck stop are secure.
The way I looked at it was common sense. I chose to pull this thing round. It took a week to get my ear tuned to it, then all was grand. The guy I pull up to may not have had a week to get used to it. So if poss I picked a spot away. Coach park at 605 Peterborough services for example. If no space I went next to whoever. I’m not running over hours for that. Try to be decent but end of day we’re all in transport and it’s a noisy 24/7 business. One does what one can that’s all.
If someone turns off a fridge, they’re a bellend

Some are pre booked into secure gated parking facilities or other haulier/customer yards, not lay-bys or services…
Pimpydaddy. I will moan if someone switches it off. What gives you the right as a driver to interfere (non saville meaning) with another trailer? If it was an offence to park in truckstops maybe.
You’re a lorry driver, in this industry you chose. It’s noisy, it’s oily. Like I said. I does one’s best (i do) but sometimes you don’t have a choice that’s reasonable in my opinion. Ok, if an empty park and the fridge chooses next to you. Have words then. But if a full park it maybe his only spot.
I’m not parking in a layby on the A1 with zero clearance to traffic, because all the pansy quiet blokes don’t want me in the one remaining spot next to them. I could turn that truck and driver sticker around to you and ask, you do want to buy your food at the end of the week I guess? Huh, thought so. Just don’t want to concern yourself about the details of how it gets there. Nimbys arent just middle aged men, the lorry job has its own nimby side.
People need to ■■■■ it up in this job. Too much time and too much too say. Just get on with it.
i just use truckstops that require fridges to be turned off by a certain time.
Then they’re either welcoming fridges that are empty that can switch of their gen sets they inadvertently left running or are welcoming fridges that will tip at the services?!
Don’t sit on the fence. Just spit it out. Instead of saying, welcoming fridges that can be turned off by a certain time just say no fridges. Instead of pretending you’re welcoming by implausible and unusable rules.
Bloody services. They don’t just spit it out.
“we offer crap services to lorries anyway, because lets face it. We all hate you and only tolerate you for the parking charges and diesel. That’s why we offer 200 lorries, 2 showers full of ■■■■■. But we really hate fridges running. But oh, we loooove the cars. If cycles with go-pros were allowed in here, we’d have a right hard on for them, because they’re right at the top of the trendy -to-like- tree. Yours sincerely. Britain, Jeremy vine show- the guardian newspaper, the BBC, moto X services”
youre ok in services..its just truckstops the make you switch them off.

Nope, was having a ■■■■ in a services the other day (can’t remember which) and there were signs around the urinals asking fridge drivers to be respectful and turn them off by - I think - 8.30pm?
oh right. 
Us reefer drivers do it deliberately just to get a mention on TNUK

1000s of car drivers walked out of the bogs hoping to get home before 8.30pm
A bloke I was talking to a few years ago told me he sticks a pin in the rubber fuel line to introduce a bit of air into it so the fridge motor stops when the air bubble hits the injectors.
Personally, I wouldnt subscribe to that. I used to do a meat trunk up to Bardon in Leics., and used to go into Leicester Forest services for a bite to eat, and the moaning I got about the fridge. It was around 6.30 in the evening, and I was gone as soon as I got my grub,I used to eat it on the bay while they were tipping me.
One night only, did I get no moans, there was a wagon and drag cattle truck, full of very noisy, loose bowelled beef steers, it was parked up on a bit of a hill and the trail of ■■■■ and ■■■■ went back a long way
