    Where is the flux capacitor on an 06 freight liner? I have one more week of training left and I really need to time travel through it. My trainer is about to make me lose it. He knows his stuff but his personality is completely different from mine and frankly he grosses me out. I realize that this truck is his home but I don't piss in bottles in the living room when I have guests. I also usualy take showers regularly....not so with this guy determining where we stop. MLB channel on the radio 24/7 makes the miles drag by for someone that would rather watch paint dry than baseball. Aso nothing like stepping in a fresh puddle of piss that he has poured out the window in the morning. Srry all just needed to vent. Its gonna be a long seven days.

    Sorry to hear about that. What company? I am starting school at AIT in North Vegas next month. Hope like hell I do not get a trainer like that after school.

    Sorry, but even if you could find the flux capacitor, you'd still have to get the truck up to 88 mph....:biggrin_25522:

    You have to find the owner's manual in the tractor to find the fiber optics wiring diagram. Look for the flux capacitor under the warp drive. Unless it's a Schneider tractor- then it's near the brakes. (All Schneider tractors have no warp drive, only warped drivers).

    And the bottles of piss? And a driving partner that won't shower? It's gonna be an interesting week.

    I'de be wearing plastic gloves and a gas mask. Just... get through it any way you can. Think.."Graduate. Graduate. Graduate.":smt100

    I never knew or spoke to a trucker who claim to piss in a bottle but its not a that uncomment.Its weird and odd but when you are so far from a near by rest room and you gotta go,well you gotta think of something.I might get a lot of heat saying this but its true.

    I have read some horror stories about this on here. Makes me wonder what my training will be like. Here is my idea. Why not when you hop in the back when he takes over, you try to take a dump in the bottle. I was in the Marines and I would have to hold it for long hours at a time. Mind you this is with forced hydration.. I'm sure he can hold it. Or buy him some depends. And do truckers do this while driving? People think talking on a cell phone is distracting.

    LMAO, I remember during my dot cdl test pretrip I actually told the tester I checked the flux capacitor to make sure it was fluxing....he didn't even crack a smile. Though he did laugh when I checked the gap between the duallies for rocks, debris, cats, etc...

    And yes I will admit, I do pee in bottles. I ride solo and if I have to pee in the middle of the night I don't feel like getting dressed and putting my boots on (I refuse to wear flip flops, muy tacky IMO) to walk to the bathroom then try to get back to sleep. Gatorade bottles work best. They have the wide mouth. I can hold it for a good 5 hours while driving, but I have logged 9 straight hours driving before. Google external catheter :biggrin_25525:
