Unhappy To many urine bottles in Oregon
A 4 mile stretch of insterstate 84 in Oregon west Of Ontario Oregon made the news today after 200 to 300 bottles of urine were found along a stretch of highway known as 3 mile hill. This is a 3 mile grade down hill going west uphill going east, this just made the news on 4 different news stations here as well as 4 or 5 different newspapers. its actualy a 4 mile stretch where all these bottles were found. Now how do you think that Joe Public is going to view truck drivers after this report on tv?? its bad enough for the public to see this on the roads but now its made the news, how sad this is in the world we live in. I certainly hope this act of carelesness can stop and bring a better view of truck drivers everywhere.

Is this some kind of record
Here are the first two paragraphs from an article in the Idaho Press-Tribune:

ONTARIO, Ore. — An increase in urine-filled plastic containers disposed along a section of Interstate 84 in eastern Oregon has prompted warnings from police and the Oregon Trucking Association.

Oregon State Police Sgt. Jason Reese said a litter crew picked up an estimated 200 to 300 urine-filled plastic bottles in a 25-mile stretch of Interstate 84.

how do you know that it is all truckers and not some 4 wheelers doing that.
In my own oppinion 4 wheelers litter more than truck drivers but you do not see people moaning and groaning about that do you?

I understand there are some truckers that do throw the pee bottles out the window.

How did they know that it was pee did they taste it?

I could of been koolaid, mountain dew,etc

Would you care to stop and taste one of those bottles and see if its Koolaid? if so what flavor it is? or if its Mt Dew. do us all a favor and taste one and let us know exactly what it is, then we will see what your answer is then.

Personally, I rarely use one unless at a dock late at night.

However, I have seen bottles come out of many types of vehicles. I don't open them to verify contents.

And how much urine smell to you get when you into a gas station at the pumps? NONE go to a truck stop and - it's fricking gross. This story is revolting. But a similar post has already been made about this same issue with all side chiming in. I would blame MOST of this on piggish, vile "truck drivers".
