This is a question that's always been my hangup in considering a career in driving.
I have IBS so sometimes I need to stop urgently. I know that when I get to driving on my own, I could bring a camping toilet with me.
What about while training though? What are the odds I'd get with a trainer who would be ok with me bringing one?
A crappy question

Back in the day I had a colleague who suffered from IBS. One day he's stuck on I-95 in a traffic jam in Philly. Uh oh, he needed to stop. He pulls his service van over to the shoulder and gets in the back to do his business. A trooper drives up behind him, gets out and looks in the front windows, doesn't see anything and walks back to his cruiser. Fortunately, the officer didn't see him on his bucket. He gets out of the back of the van which then triggers the officer to get out of his car. For a few long minutes, it was a tense situation. When my buddy tells the story, you need oxygen cause you're laughing so darn hard.
I feel your pain.pumpkinishere, Coffey, bryan21384 and 5 others Thank this. -
Stock up on Imodium for training is about all can add.

if you only think you have IBS, and you do not have any documented proof, then seek a professional ASAP, and get started on meds.
there are some meds that will stave off or control IBS.
otherwise, you ain't gonna be taking a portable ANYTHING with you on a trainer's truck.
i would not allow it either.faux_maestro, pumpkinishere, nredfor88 and 4 others Thank this. -
Not Intended To Be Harsh or Demeaning!
How Is Handling IBS In Your Private/Personal Vehicle??
Do You EVER Travel Very Far From Home/Local Area??
IF There's No Medication To Curtail Said IBS IMMEDIACY, You'll Not Fare Well!!
Theoretical Scenario:
You're Sitting Still In a LONG Traffic Backup Due To A Myriad Of Reasons & You're Suffering An IBS Onset While In Number 2, 3 or 4 Lane!
What Action/s Is/Are Required To Mitigate The Situation?
If You're Then Not Likely To Move Anytime Soon, The Camp Bucket Seems The Only Feasible Solution EXCEPT You're With An Agitated Trainer In Passenger Seat!
Trucking Is Not An All Around Employment Solution, There Are Some Restrictions Despite What Any "recruiter" Has claimed & Will claim!

Hopefully For Thee, There Will, A Solution, Be Presented!!JoeyJunk, Suspect Zero and gentleroger Thank this.
