    When you go on vacation or basically just drive your own car around it is easy to stop anywhere to "go", easy to park, etc. BUT that all changes with a big rig, what do you drivers do when you have to "go", you can't just pull over to the side of the road and roll down a window.
    How can you down cup after cup of "jo jo" and not have to go, all the bouncing in the truck will speed up the urge to "go".
    And what equipment do you use to contain the "stuff", and when you do get to a truck stop how or where do you drain the container, I don't know if it would look too good holding a one gallon milk jug full of "yellow lemonade" and walking thru a truck stop restaurant heading for the restrooms to dump it.
    I know it's an off color subject but it is an issue to address and how do you pros handle it, you all can't have bladders like elephants out there.
    I usually can drink my obligatory 24 oz of coffee and drive about 120-180 miles before I have to heed nature's call.... It just depends on the amount of bounce in the road I suppose.....

    When driving I usually stop every 4 hours or so. The problem comes when I've been sleeping. Waking up with a full bladder and we are out in the middle of nowhere can be a problem.

    Pull as far to right of roadway as possible. Open driver's door and stand on top step, facing traffic. Whip it out, and LET 'ER FLY!

    Saw a guy on the interstate do this exact thing right in the LA area. He was just starring at traffic standing pissing with everything facing the road.
