I'm thinking the ladies might have a lesser chance of a rim shot with something a bit wider.

Truckers

I am not EVEN going to say what just went through my mind concerning "something a bit wider" and the "rubbermaid" logo. I'll only say that it's been two weeks since I've had play time with the husband. You can use your imaginations from there.

That statement along gives us some insight to your experience as a driver. I'm talking experience...not length of time driving.

Please explain to me and the other lazy people on this board, how you would handle your business going southbound on I-95 from the state lines of CT and NY at 4:15 in the afternoon.

BTW, it's only about 35 miles to the closest service plaza. Not far at all. But we still want to know how you handle it.

I'll give you an easier one. Ambassador Avenue, starting point Manhattan to I-95, only about 10 miles. ANY hour of the day. How do you handle your business??

The whole trucking world (and us lazy folks) await your wisdom on this.

BTW, I don't pee while driving. Otherwise I would be doing it all over my pants and seat. But bottles are handy.

Rain You will find them everywhere

When it warms up and the snow melts away then the bottles appear, the Rest Area Attendants wind up pick them up and bag them & gets tossed in a dumpster .

same thing for white plastic bags , has brown stuff in it .

nice thing about nitrile gloves.

and the Building is 100 feet away !

some people invest in those RV porta jons if someone has health problems which is understandable.

Have a Good One !

I'll give you my wisdom on this - I have never in my life pee'd in a bottle/jug/milk bottle whatever. I have always held it in even to the point of hurting. I have held it in for hours and hours on end until I found a place to urinate - or defecate - in a toilet. Out in the middle of nowhere, such as between El Paso and San Antonio, I MIGHT have stopped and urinated next to the truck. You handle your business by holding it in. I never even THOUGHT about peeing into a jug until I started reading this forum, and frankly, I find it disgusting and quite undignified.

More reason truck drivers get such a bad rap.........

Well if the few nasty drivers who throw their containers out the window wouldn't do so..you would even know that their are truckers that pee in bottles because this wouldn't even be an issue. You do things your way..others do it their way. Besides, I know I would get darn tired off having the pain of holding my pee in a few times every single day..seems to me that this could cause some sort of bladder problem or urinary tract infection.

The u-tract will become irratated and you`ll have a couple of days of narly pain.

I understand why you use them and I'm not totally opposed to it, but is it really that difficult to just pour it into a toilet at a rest stop or even in the dirt on the side of the road?

The roads and highways are OUR workplace! Why on earth are some people so lazy that they just 'chuck' them out the window and drive on!

It's no wonder that some people see truckers as disgusting dirty people. I challenge those that are guilty of this disgusting practice to just make an effort to either throw it away in the trash, pour it out in the dirt somewhere or God forbid, get off your lazy behind and go use the toilet!
couldn't believe that when i read that thats nasty......in england though at over night truck stops people cant be bothered to go to the toilets so they just open there door n do it with out getting out (mainly foreign drivers like polish, spanish german drivers etc) not nice when your are walking through the lorrys in the park

Yeah - well, I'll just say it again - it's nasty. I never got urinary tract infections, my wife was quite pleased with our "interactions", and as I said, I just can't believe you folks are on here advocating such a thing. Do whatever you want in life, I guess, but - I simply am in total disagreement with such practices. Really, a little amazed that anyone would even admit to doing such a thing.

I run teams and tell any partner that I have that if he needs to take a piss to let me know and I will pull over for him. The last thing I want is for him to pull out a bottle in the bunk and have him piss into it. Any little bump and now you have piss in the mattress or floor. Downright disgusting!

Just Say No to Urine Bombs!
