I once saw a female driver get out of the cab and walk over to the grass to dump out her pee can...

If you see them call their company

I watched a P.A.M. driver get out of his cab with a gallon jug of piss. He dumped it forward of his drives. This was a gallon jug that was 2/3 full......this is what you smell on some hot truckstop lots.

I called his company and told them to put their driver on a leash where he belonged, that it reflected on THEIR company when THEIR drivers are pigs.

If it's an owner operator, get their MC # then go to : [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. Then enter the MC#, you'll get all of the company's contact info

This is the only way to stop this behavior. There are too many drivers out here that feel there will be no repurcussions for their bad behavior. Until they find out there IS someone who will keep them on their leash they will continue their knuckle dragging behavior.

So in your years as a trucker, you have never slept at a shipper/receiver who is closed overnight, has no restroom available, and it's 20 degrees outside... besides, you're all buttoned up in your sleeper and don't really want to get all dressed to water the tires? OR, you have never been on a lonely stretch of highway where there ARE no rest areas, etc. and you gotta go? C'mon. The point is not the bottle or no bottle. It's the DISPOSING of the thing. You can even empty them somewhere appropriate before throwing it in a TRASH can. I am tired of establishments that USED TO allow overnight parking, and now do NOT because of this disgusting habit of leaving your business for someone else to take care of.

I'm apposed to the big brother mentality but I'm tired of seeing other drivers dump their bottles on the ground where people walk and even urinating in the parking lot. Maybe you're right.

Same here, I'm no yougin anymore and sometimes I have to get up in the middle of the night to pee. I never and I repeat never leave my pee bottles anywhere. Drain them in the proper place and dispose of the bottle. How hard can it be.

Of course you've got drivers that will just sweep the trash out of their cab onto the truck stop parking lot. Saw this happen the other day, the trash he shoved out onto the lot would have filled a large trash bag.

I've seen these pigs too. Their whole truck cab floor is covered in trash. Amazing.

Imagine what their home looks like.
