    I usually can drink my obligatory 24 oz of coffee and drive about 120-180 miles before I have to heed nature's call.... It just depends on the amount of bounce in the road I suppose.....:biggrin_25523:

    I can too but i stopped trying because..well, every other job, including my dispatchers, is requirede to give atleast 2 breaks a day....and take a dump/pee whenever.....so i just stop whenever i feel like it, but not more than every 2 hours unless i have to.

    When driving I usually stop every 4 hours or so. The problem comes when I've been sleeping. Waking up with a full bladder and we are out in the middle of nowhere can be a problem.

    Pull as far to right of roadway as possible. Open driver's door and stand on top step, facing traffic. Whip it out, and LET 'ER FLY!:biggrin_25521::biggrin_25525:

    Saw a guy on the interstate do this exact thing right in the LA area. He was just starring at traffic standing pissing with everything facing the road.
