I made the mistake of eating a pre-heated breakfast sandwich at the truck stop before making my delivery, when I arrived with load of chicken, the tyson warehouse was closed, I parked the truck and jumped out to find a place to relieve my upset stomach, it was an emergency in my eyes, I spotted a bridge and thought I could go under it, when I got closer I realized thats where 100's of homeless people had their tents, well, I didn't want to leave anything in their so called yard, so I ended up wedging myself between a pillar and fence. LOL so anyways, I had to hurry cuz I wasn't exactly the right color for the neighborHOOD. So anyways the moral of the story is, porta potty is beneficial and pre heated foods are not advisable especially the kind with egg in it.
As that time must have not been so funny, it is kind of funny to read I know you don't think so but seeing the people in the tents and you saying oh yeah finally and ooops no finally, gotta go find somewhere else is funny.

It's just like taking a road trip gotta prepare for them bathroom stops and if anything quickly comes on yeap you need a back up plan in the vehicle!

The newer Volvo's have an option where they have a fully functional toilet in the cab, not sure if that's something I would want but they do have that option. Just make sure to roll down the window before you start, you may end up passing out.

To empty the toilet you would do as the RV's do. It has a hose that you hook up to a service center, rest areas and most truck stops have those services.

Off-topic, but...

What about that astro-nut who wore depends on a 900 mile trip 'cause she didn't want to stop. What about fuel??

Some trucks have had them for some time. Back in the 80's my truck broke down. I was given a rental. It had one. Was a cabover, but I don't remember what it was. I also remember seeing in the paper back then where a company had speced out a truck for their top driver. It had a shower in it as well.
