No Restroom wth???? Has it happened to you?

Because they're too #### fat and lazy to get down and go piss in the truck stop bathroom.

I stopped at a Pilot and they had a parking spot very close to the building. THAT spot smelled more of piss than anywhere else in the lot. Shameful.

 

I haul wood chips into paper mills all the time. I’ve had to wait up to 6 hours to get unloaded. They say peeing by your truck will get you ran out, but they would have to run every truck out of there if they enforced it. When I was a new guy I used to roll around under my truck checking things out while I waited. Needless to say after I realized how much pee was on the ground I quit. You gotta do what you gotta do.

 

All truckers, both women and men, should have/carry provisions to make both kinds of deposits within their truck. There are commercially available supplies to do this cleanly, sanitarily, and discreetly within the privacy of your rig. Some are built in, some portable and some can be fashioned from common, readily available items. As a trucker, you must be ready for anything at any time, so put some forethought into it and be prepared. If I could figure it out, 20 years ago, surely anyone who can obtain a CDL can as well.

 

Empty Wet Wipes Containers, the Plastic Tub variety, made good Solid Waste Disposal Units as well Fluid Repositories. Such applications were used ONCE, then sealed, placed in 3 separate plastic Bags and tossed in a Trash Receptacle or Dumpster.
No Smell, No Tell.

At Nobles Truck Stop, X5, I-20, GA., there were (are still?) instructions in the Men's Room on the stall door interior, describing how to properly execute a "delivery". Written in English. Last seen in 2018.

 

I am in this situation currently... At a sooper/kroger DC in Denver with a dairy load. Appt was 12:30.. looked up google review and drivers are reporting 6, 12, and even 30 hrs delay.. not happy

There's a porta potty in the staging area with literal feces smeared all over the seat and walls and door. I'd rather poo behind my trailer

The guards said we arent supposed to leave our trucks after being checked in LOL

There is a 7-11 one mile away. Im considering risking a walk through the meth heads to find an acceptable toilet

 

Good luck and be careful?

 

Perfect time for that 5 gallon Home Depot bucket/ lid, a package of 13 gallon drawstring trash bags and your standard TP. Of course, too late for you, but something to get when you are able in the future.

 

Maybe it’s a factor of age, but I have a very short window of time between feeling the need to pee and having no choice in the matter. I have a large plastic cup I use (it’s easier than pissing into a bottle), and I keep an empty gallon water jug to pour it into. I usually empty that out either someplace far from people, or into a rest area urinal.

I don’t make a habit out of pooping in the truck, but again, sometimes there’s no alternative, so I’ll use a tall kitchen bag. Works pretty good, and after sealing that bag, I’ll put it in another bag and seal that too.

Hey, if you eat and drink, it’s gonna happen…

 

I have mastered the art of ducing into a used coffee cup.

Fill it up with TP then throw it in a zip lock back to dispose of later.

 

Drop trailer Bob tail to store. ####. Go back to trailer.
