    No sir !!!! You bet wrong!!!!

    I proudly walk through the store with my cup of pee to dump in the truck stop toilet. Then deposit in the closest trash receptacle.

    Pilot cups are for when my bottle of sunny d is full. Which I have been using for years!

    I put one in the truck back when I used to run Canada. The place where I delivered would not allow drivers to use their facilities, so I decided to bring my own. It has come in handy when my wife used to travel with me. I rarely use it except during an emergency. The down side is that you need to empty it every now and then.

    I am getting a kick out this thread it is so nasty buckets and bags should have been the name of thread. I never use any of them when i no im gonna drink a full cup of juice i plan ahead for at least 2hrs by seeing where rest area, trk stop i no my system pretty good and i eat yogurt couple times a day so the #2 is pretty regular. As far as the bucket 1 of the companies i trained with the driver that took me out in my test drive he had a bucket and his trk smelled like piss and #### when i and several other trainees were taking about this driver and how nasty his trk was and how it smelled i guess somebody important heard us talkin that driver got fired he should have been shame i be shame when i have dirt on my mat from me gettin in and out my trk

    My Co-driver is in his upper 50s and doesn't have any problems. Sure he goes more often then I sometimes, but its good to stop for a couple minutes every couple hours anyway :).

    Luckily I only run OH, KY, TN, AR, TX, AL, MS, GA right now :). But I have been in one of those rest area things in Nevada... scary stuff lol. Oh, there is also a rest area on Ohio Route 7, North of Marietta. Its restroom is just a hole in the ground lol.

    In 26 years of driving I have never had to poop in a bag. Maybe I'm just lucky or something I don't know. But there has been more than once I have been stuck on the BQE or the Cross Bronx and had to use a cup or my bladder would have exploded.

    Personally i add some of the porter potty chem to a Gatorade bottle and dispose of it properly at the next stop. Now for female drivers i would recommend a porter potty int he truck. As for number 2....just make sure you go when you can go so you never are stuck somewhere needing to go. A healthy person only needs number 2 once a day so you should be able to plan that in your route.

    First, before I start, I am not calling your hand. I'm just making conversation...

    And I can agree with that but just because he can doesn't mean everyone can. Everyone's genetics are made up differently. I'm just sayin that just because George Bush Sr can jump out of an airplane on his 80th birthday, doesn't mean everyone can. Some people just don't hold up as well. People genetics aren't the same. Some peoples bodies & parts in general wear out quicker than others.
    I had a great uncle that was still manually hoeing 20 rows of sweet corn (& other garden vegetables) into his 90's, but not everyone can do that. Very few people anywhere near that age have held up well enough to manually do things like that.
    I am 54 years old & I know good & well... I don't have any business jumping out of an airplane & hitting the ground at 15 or 20 mph.

    Just because "Jim Bob" can do something, doesn't mean everyone can do that. Some people just dont hold up as well & things wear out faster. I dont think you were calling my hand by making that statement & I am not calling your hand. I'm just making conversation like everyone else. No harm my friend.
