Was sitting in baldock services this lunch time on my 30 mins, was nice and sunny having a nice snooze in my cab, a truck pulled up just as i drifted off thought nothing of it, was nice and asleep when about couple minutes into my siesta…

Hi mate there is some new ones out there that only run at 80db but the old one run at 130db, so and it all depends on if there been looked after on some of them the pulleys tend to wear out and squeak a bit.
i had one that did that and in the end i just dropped the trailer and moved forward a bit so i would not here it much, but if you really what to have a good sleep and not get disturbed by fridges you could aways by some ear muffs. :laughing: :laughing:
