    You must be blind or you have a truck that runs on air and you don't have to go to truckstops.

    I can't believe that, I've only been driving a little over 2 years and have seen it a lot(and smelled it when I couldn't see it). Bags of poo are probably the most disgusting.

    Did you smell diesel too? I'm guessing diesel smell is unhealthier for you than pee and poo smell.

    Lupe... as far as being a trucker you had better fahgetaboutit.....

    What will you do when you have a load going into a chemical plant? A wastewater treatment plant? A feed lot? What happens when you are stuck in a traffic jam for hours with all sort of engines idling around you?

    Truckin ain't for sissies... with all due respect.

    Many Americans heat their houses with the same basic fuel, stored in a tank in their basement..it is called heating fuel...the just untaxed diesel fuel (more sulpher in it too, but that is getting a bit too in depth!! And for the record, these houses DO NOT SMELL LIKE FUEL!!

    like said previously...if your only concern is smells, and noxious and sometimes dangerous chemicals...how are you going to do your job? How do you put gas in your own gas?
    And for the record...Gasoline is MUCH MORE DANGEROUS than Diesel fuel...it has far more volatile organics!!

    I'm going to Central Ref. so I guess I'll be dealing with only refrigerated food. I'm more concerned about diesel because I worry it might not only smell bad but might be more bad for your body than other like pee smell.
