Nothing wrong with using a bottle; I would imagine that it is just a fact of life. In fact, I'm darn jealous how easy it is for you menfolk. What it disgusting is what you do with that bottle after you fill it. Some of these stories of huge buckets that never get dumped are just disgusting. I've already told my boyfriend that I don't care if he doesn't use a bottle, I will need something when I go out with him. I can't sleep through the night without a trip and I am not walking into a truck stop in the middle of the night by myself in some of these places.

That's why I was wondering what women would use. I may be a little nuts, but stopping doesn't frighten me. Its not stopping.

I know a fellow that cleans trucks for CalArk... He can tell you more tales of 5 gallon buckets than I would like to hear.

I do not blame you one bit!!!! There were a few times i didn't want to walk across the lot myself!

Now I can understand a bottle. Screw the lid on, it won't spill. But a 5 gallon bucket, that can be one heck of a mess. Those lids aren't always tight. I'd hate to be the one to clean up that mess. There'd be twice as much to clean.

If I was layed over at a reciever that was no where near a rest area or TS I used them there too. I've never thrown any out on the side of the road or dumped them. Always goes into a trash back and thrown in a dumpster. I drink more than enough water to have a steady flow of bottles. Say whatever you want about me but that was my system and I didn't expose anyone else to what I did. Never once had a spill in the sleeper either.

I also do the same thing. I buy water by the gallon at WalMart and have a steady supply of jugs. But you'll NEVER find one of mine sitting under another guys truck in the morning, or thrown on the side of the road. They'll be emptied in the grass on the back row and then thrown in the trash can with the rest of the trash.

Gallon jug and a funnel. Shop around and you'll find one that works. Even if it came from the auto parts store to get the correct shape.

My wife has ridden with me a lot. PM if you need more info.

Its funny how everybody is appauled by the action. But Im not convienced that the ones who screem loudest are not with out guilt. I hate the bottles or even using the tires at a fuel island as well. But I dont think there are very many not guilty along side the road. And if you do use a bottle dump it out in the dirt somewhere dont throw it out. But this goes for your trash also.

I park my truck over night here at a small kind of secret lot. Its out of the way for most but close to home for me. Anyway it seems that more people have been parking there because they see my truck and 3 chip trucks that park there. Its a clean lot... or I should say was. The other day i went over to crawl under my truck to grease it. I got almost down to the ground and it smelled like the back 40 of a Loves.... Took a good look around and there is trash everywhere. I'm waiting for a big "NO TRUCKS" sign any day now.. since the lot is owned by the county...

Today I was going into the Bosselmans T/S in Altoona, Ia for a PM on my truck. There was a tanker parked next to the lane for one of the service bays. This was not a parking spot. He was parked about 60 feet from the entrance to the building. He jumps out of the cab walks behind between the sleeper and drive tires whips it out and takes a leak right there. Couldn't walk the 100 feet into the building to use the facilities.

I was real tempted to get out of my truck walk over and plant a size eleven right square in his back side. Thought better of it as if he is that stupid he wouldn't understand and who knows what I might of caught on my boot.

Dirtball!!

You know how there's Dog walks at rest areas? ...Yeah you know what I'm thinking....Maybe there should be trucker walks for those that just can't go inside.
