    I’m sure it’s not specifically stated anywhere, but you are probably right anyway.

    Not if you're wearing track pants and flip flops. I think, for them, it's a required skill set to get their CDL.

    Some of us get caffeine headaches if we don't have a cup. That might be a safety issue. :eek:

    Yep. I am diabetic. I didnt start drinking coffee till I was diagnosed with diabetes, splenda instead of sugar and I was good to go.

    We've gone from piss bottles to piss zip lock bags to catheter bags on the ground.

    It's not hard, just make sure you have the end clamped before you insert it.

    The ones I've seen on Amazon usually require a prescription. There are other places that don't.

    Ok I have been a coffee drinker nearly all my life. When I decided to go OTR I was worried about access to coffee and possible withdrawals. Seriously I have never gone without. So this is what I do. Caffeine pills. 200-400 milligrams each morning with my vitamins. Ya it’s not the same as real coffee/espresso but it helps.

    I take 2 nodoz pills ever morning as a substitute for coffee. I recommend it to anyone who cannot get going without caffeine. No bladder issues here.
