Leads me to believe that he views simple HUMAN behavior as "bizarre"....
I guess that I, then, am MOST "bizarre", as I WILL, on most dire of circumstances, avail myself of my trusty "johnny-pot".

Excuse me, I use a bottle, and I do not have a low IQ, nor am I lazy.
I use the bottle for convenience. A rest room is not always handy when I need it. But, neither do I throw out the bottle. I empty it...in dirt or on grass.
yeah it kills the grass I'm sure....but, what the hey...

Goin2fast, I think the thread is about the guys who empty the bottles by tossing them out the window going down the road or leaving them next to their trucks in the truckstop parking lot. I think we all have used a bottle at some point and most of us dispose of them properly.

Yup, well there are other adjectives that more aptly fit this behavior. A normal bodily function does not have to be exercised in such a way as to return one's characterists to the stone ages. Peeing in a bottle is just pure laziness, throwing it out the window - is not only disgusting, it just shows what kind of person it is that would do such a thing.
Regardless, you are free to live your life - in whatever "class" of style and dignity you prefer.
Good luck.

You have a problem with me using a bottle? Tell you what, next time we're both stuck in one of those major cluster bungles in LA--you know, where someone wrecked up ahead and traffic doesn't move an inch for about three hours--tell me what you're driving and I'll whiz in your window, OK?

Sorry if I seem a little harsh, but you're coming off like a Monday Morning Quarterback here. I'd rather use a bottle than hang my ding-dong out the door or window for all and sundry to witness. I'd rather other drivers find ways to contain their waste rather than soiling their pants, their truck, or creating a spectacle that might offend others or get the driver tagged as a "sex offender."*

Now, as to the disposal of said bottle and its contents, this should be done in such a way as to cause minimal environmental and social concern. And if you see a driver--er, scumbag--tossing any garbage out onto the road or parking lot, particularly a pee bottle, I consider it your duty as a citizen to return the obviously 'lost property.' Through their window. At high velocity.

Yup, well, I've got a few years on you in the trucking industry, I really don't need a lecturing. I have sat in rush hour traffic in L.A; Chicago; Dallas; New York to name a few, never once did I think "Gee, I'll just pull out this little bottle here, pull my thing out of my pants and aim it in there." I just held it in - if it was such the case - like most normal people do.

Me wanna pea pee.
Where bottle? Jug flusher broke.

wow... eight pages of this... who'da thunk it would be something to get so pee'd about?

Ya reckon.

I know this subject is unplesent for some and I can understand that, but there are some of us (especially the over 60 bunch) that have over active bladders. Especially at night.

This has bothered me for sometime about getting a job driving.
I know about the "honey jars" and "jonnie pots" and the bags with cat litter. People have been using "port-a-potty's" for years with or without the chemical that cuts the smell and makes it bio-degradable.

But what do you do when you have to spend 3 to 12 weeks, up to 60,000 miles or more with a trainer? Do any of you have experiance in this area? I guess you would leave your boots on and make for the "head" as many times in the night that you have to. Right?

While this quote came from an old post, I still felt compelled to put in my two cents. When I first started driving trucks, my original trainer refused to keep a pee jug in the truck and had nothing but derogatory comments for those drivers who do. At the time, I wholeheartedly agreed with his philosophy. However, after literally peeing my pants one time when I could not find a safe place to stop, my views on this philosophy began to soften. While I still don't relish the idea of keeping bodily fluids in a plastic container, it beats the heck out of peeing my pants!

As for the assertion that people who use pee jugs have a low IQ, I was an engineer for 20 years before I became a trucker and, according to an article in "The University Daily Kansasean", about half of truck drivers have some college education, and 90% of truckers have a high school education or equivalent. While my IQ narrowly disqualifies me from being a member of MENSA, I'll bet that even Albert Einstein himself would have preferred putting his Johnson in a milk jug to peeing his pants.
