If they had more rest areas this would calm it down a little. I have no problems with squirting the tire but, if you get caught in some states you will have to register as a sex offender. I would rather litter than get tagged with that. Of course you could always keep the bottle in your truck until you can dispose of it properly.

Correction.. Pigs masquerading as truck drivers.. As I posted before, if states wanted to post snipers for people throwing out bottles I would not object.

curious

Why do people think it is ok to let their dogs out to pee everywhere but human pee is so much different ? It is natural for both to pee only society frowns on humans peeing in public and not dogs. I never throw my pee bottle out , i never litter period. But I do carry a tupperware bottle bought from walmart and empty it in the grass much like a dog would do. Never understood the double standards all I want is to be treated like a dog....oh wait a minute...im a flatbedder...i am.

Or when they empty it in the truck stop and you get it on your feet and track it into your truck.

Houdini,
Do you add some bleach or something to it. I would imagine that container would smell pretty bad after a while.

a simple law that would restrict companies from using wide mouth bottles would solve the pee-pee in the bottle problem. Has anyone tried to take a leak in a bottle that doesnt have the wide mouth opening. Im not saying its impossible, but it sure is quite a mess when your done..

I think using the bottle to take a leak in is a necessary evil. But disposing of it properly is something that everyone should do. Throwing it out the window is not proper. Make sure the cap is on tight and drop in in a trash barrel.

We don't need any more laws. There is already a law in all states for littering. I buy drinks for my cooler and some have wide mouth. I don't need to be punished because someone else pee's in them.

This might sound like a dumb question but I'm a noob.

How in the hell does one get their willie out to pee in a bottle while sitting in the driver's seat driving? That's got to be one huge driver distraction maneuver. I can't even imagine doing it.
