Has a place stopped you from using the restroom?

    Anybody have this happen?

    I went to a place up north called Alton Illinois picking up some freight from imperial manufacturing this place over by the river there. I drove all morning to get there on time and you know what? When i got in there they told me that there weren't anywhere to use the restroom!!! How can that be? I said. where your employees go? he said that we aint allowed to let the drivers use the restrooms and don't get the boss started or shell tear into my butt.

    Thatch gotta be illegal, I didn't stop the whole way and I was stopped up pretty serious and this is how I get treated?

    I got sent back twice since then but I don't know what to do. I've been a trucker for 27 years and aint nobody ever told me I cant use the restroom and it don't help there the only ones in that whole dang place!

    That sucks, but I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to not allow you the use of the bathroom. It's not polite, and since you've been back twice I'm sure you've learned to go before you get there.

    They've probably been screwed over by a driver or 2 who trashed the restroom. Made it bad for all.

    Dispatcher made him do it, or rather not do it.

    Drop the trailer and tell them you are going to bobtail somewhere to find a bathroom.

    Better yet use the boss's car as a restroom.
