Quit tossing your Pee-Bottles! Please!! - Page 14 - Truckers' Trucking Forum | Message Board

The pee bottle: the modern-day version of the chamberpot? (now the young'un's among us will be going, "Huh?").

At my grandparent's farm we had to use a chamberpot at night as there was no indoor plumbing (but we didn't toss it in the yard in the morning

) and the outhouse was too far removed from the house to be anywhere near convenient (especially at -40).

I think I'm going to start marketing the piddle-packs I used flying fighters at the major truck stop chains, from this thread it sounds like it could be a lucrative business!

well let me tell ya just thought of having bodily waste inside the cab which is also my home away from home seems quite disgusting and think about dripping as well i do not want my truck too smell like pee ok so yes i will continue to pee on the ground beside my rig if proper facilities are not available
one more thing what if ya mis-place the cap then what???

I realize we all gotta do what we gotta do when we gotta do it,
but,.....................
here's something to consider -----
Liquid on the ground mixes with dust and/or dirt, and dries.
After it dries, and a vehicle kicks up that dried dust,
what are we breathing?
Not to mention tracking into our Big truck.

YeAH.
That's what I was thinkin' too.

YucK!

If we're urinating on the ground because there's no
other option, ...... that's one thing.
But, ...... if we're urinating on the ground out of sheer laziness,
that's another thing.

Larger truck stops have parking for, probably, 200 Big trucks, or more.
How many times in a 24 hour period do y'all reckon SOMEone
urinates on the ground? That's a lot of urine.
Also, consider the drivers who find it necessary to crawl under their
Big truck to inspect things and/or adjust brakes. What are they getting into?

To me, it makes more sense to carry an emergency jug of some sort,
and maybe a spare cap, or two ---- just in case.
Then, dispose of the contents in a RESPONSIBLE manner.
There's no need to be rollin' down the highways with full, or even
half full containers of urine that might spill inside our Big truck.
A little planning goes a long ways.

To set the record straight i only pee on the side of the rig in an emergency when proper facilities are "not" avilable like when i am rollin a long stretch in north dakota where ya might not see a town for 40-50 miles ok and even in that case i do strive to make a rest area if i saw a sign 4 one

if i am at a truckstop stop i will walk in and use the restroom simply to get the exercise

what is really sick is those guys who pee right on the fuel line in the summer and you people know who you are and when its 95 degrees out and the sun hits it and just kinda ferments then ya might step in it while ya fuel your rig i keep a can of lysol under the drivers seat just 4 that reason so i can spray the bottom soles on my shoes before i step in the truck

and i still dont not embrace the idea of a pee bottle i am sorry

Urinating on the ground beside your rig in the middle of nowhere is different than doing it in a parking lot where other people will be walking. Seems worse to me to be walking on and picking up yours and other peoples urine from the parking lot, then climbing into your truck with soiled boots, than worrying about an accident in your cab. Here's some advice: always screw the cap back on your bottle when in use or not in use; get a bottle with a wide mouth so you won't miss; get a bottle with a wide base and secure it so it won't tip over; and there are ways to keep from dripping which any doctor can explain.

Never mind with all that ... just drink it quick while it's still sterile.

I had a business partner in Germany that claimed to drink a little of the "golden champagne" every morning for the purported health benefits.

Them whacky Germans.

If ya drink it though doesnt THAT kindA defeat the purpose as ya pee to expel

but to drink it just runs right back through the system then you are back to square one gotta pee again

and i also know you are just being a wise guy but be careful there are people out there who just might be crazy enough to take that advice to heart and practice it

i would hate ta imagine a fleet of drivers rollin the roads jacked up on yellow snow
