Has anyone else noticed the signs going up at the newer Texas Rest Areas? They say "No Porta Pottie bags or Urine Bottles in trash cans" or something like that.
I can understand, but I like the idea of encouraging drivers to throw this stuff away as opposed to throwing it on the side of the road. I know they don't want it in the Rest Area trash, but I can picture some drivers getting pissed off and driving down to the next ramp and throwing it out on the ground. Of course, that is stupid as well.
It is unfortunate that bodily waste management is such an integral part of truck driving. But that has a thread of its own. This is about the signs at the Texas Rest Areas.
Don't mess with Texas- No Potty bags

Just set them near the can and you'll be fine . . . . . .

I have seen some Mt rest areas that have separate trash cans for urine bottles.

Just another sign for many to ignore.
Many want us to deliver and leave. Now they don't want us leaving any crap behind too.
The poor janitor doesn't get any respect.
I like places that has a dumpster convenient where you pull up and throw your trash out as you leave. Those places tend to be cleaner because of the convenience. Nobody has to handle it either except for the garbage man. Not a smell on earth bothers him
Ducks Thanks this. -
now i've been out here almost 50 #### years and have never got sorry enough to use a #### bag to go to the bathroom or a bottel you can't get much lower then that and that is not normal behaviour for a driver, thats what animals do,although some to look at them you cant be to sure what they are.
if that is what you do, if that is how you live then your the lowest of the low and i really dont care how mad you get, and dont tell me you couldnt find a restroom thats a #### lie i find them all over the coutry with no problem if i can find them so can you there is no excuse for that kind of behavior, your jus sorry thats all there is to it.

Animals piss and crap all over the toilet seats and leave it for the next guy. Some of them bathrooms are worse than the trash cans. Heaven for bacteria and diseases. Animals piss all over the pavement where we walk and sleep.
I wonder what the military does in the field? Or that hunter in the woods? Or that person with diabetes that has a choice of pissing his pants or whipping it out? Or you're at a customer that won't let you use their bathroom. -
Yep, I was in a place in Kankakee, Il and the shipper wouldn't let the drivers use the bathrooms and there was a elementary school just on the other side of the fence facing the truck loading area. I couldn't just go outside in front of the school, so I used a bottle in the truck. Anytime I've used a bottle, I find some woods to pour it out the next chance I get then throw the bottle away. I can understand them not wanting a filled bottle in the trash, since as soon as the garbage truck hit's the compactor switch all those bottles will just bust and urine will be dripping out of the truck and all over the streets, workers, and everybody else behind the garbage truck.
Native Dancer Thanks this. -
Ever tried to lift a trash bag full of bottles ??
1 gallon = 7 lbs. You can but 10 gallons of bottles in a trash can easily. Those little old ladies/men can't lift those things

I agree with you 100%
I've never had that happen to me...Not even once!
I have had customers tell me that they usually don't allow drivers in their restrooms but that since I don't look or smell like an animal they'll make an exception.
Drivers have brought this poor treatment on themselves...By being filthy, disgusting slobs!
I was at a flying J a week or so ago and was going in to take a shower when the janitor opened the door to clean a shower and just looked at me and said..."Oh, HELL no!"
He opened the door for me to see and there was used toilet paper all over the floor and #### spread on the walls...
The guy had crapped on the floor and just made a stinkin' mess of the place!
The janitor said.."This kind of thing happenes about once a week!"
What kind of moron does that kind of stuff?
The sad part is...Some full grown person, One of our peers in the trucking industry did that!
He might be the guy sitting next to you in the coffee shop right now or he might be any one of the many "drivers" that you encounter on a daily basis.
But he is someone that I would happily beat to death if I caught him doing that!
Those are the people that have created the conditions that we all have to deal with and they are probably some the same MORONS that you hear on the CB whinig about..."Why don't we get treated with the respect that we deserve?"
My answere to them is..."You do!"bubba mark, FriedTater, Ducks and 1 other person Thank this. -
I owned a gas station/C store and its not just Truck Drivers who smear "stuff" on the walls. Some of the public is no better.
