Welcome to trucking! Can't you feel the love. BTW there is a long thread on this subject.

There are no laws requiring it.

 

Unbeliveably enough something similar to this happened to me the other day. I was in a Thermo King of all places. Restroom right in front of me with a sign saying employees only. I asked permission to use the bath room, and I was told: "go out to the service bay take a right go up the stairs take a left blah blah blah"

I then pointed to the restroom 4' from where I was standing and asked why I couldn't just use that one. One of the secretaries spoke up (great big nasty fat one) and said she was tired of truckers messing it up. Right then and there I asked to see the manager. He comes out, and I wave the $1200 repair estimate in front of his nose. Told him if I wasn't good enough to use that toilet then he wasn't good enough to work on my trailer.

Two seconds later that sign was removed from the restroom...

I have ZERO problems crawling up the cat walk of my truck and taking a crap on the parking lot of a receiver that wont let me use their restroom. Its the least I can do...

BTW, before any of you get the idea I am some nasty person. I always leave a restroom cleaner than I found it. I regularly pick up trash from the floor and wipe counters down after I am done.

 

just wait till its dark spread cheek in the parking lot and letter rip bahahhahahahah save your urine bottle and dump it in their lot bet eventually they will start letting people use the restrooms......

 

If you have a "public restroom", it has to be open and accessible for all, including handicapped and usually has to be inspected. It can be a real pain.

 

OSHA requires each employer to have a toilet at every job site. The problem is they have bathrooms for their employees which we are not.

What, so another trucker can walk through it? Go crap in a broom closet or something!

 

There may not be any regulations, but business ethics should cover the carrier's personnel. After all, the Bill of Lading is a contract between the shipper, carrier, and receiver. We are all in this to make a profit. The driver is an agent of the carrier and is equal to any other employee trying to make a profit for all three parties to the Bill of Lading.

In actual practice, ethics be ######. Everyone looks out only for their own profit. Several statements of ethics have been adopted by trade organizations. Only a few companies adhere to them.
