    I carry two urinals with me in the truck that I got from the local hospital when I was enjoying a kidney stone. I use them if I can't get into a truck stop or rest area and dump them out at my next stop. I don't dump them on the ground, I carry them into the bathroom and dispose of the urine in a toilet.

    Nothing disgusts me more than people throwing their urine bombs out on the road or pouring them out in the parking lot.

    Thank you medic92. I was starting to think I was the only one that did this. It seems so simple to me I don't know why everyone doesn't do it. Maybe because they have no respect for themselves so they can't have any respect for anyone else.

    That's why I have a porta-pottie in my rig. No different than what's in a lot of RV's. Cost me $120 and it has paid for itself several times over.

    That is an extremely perceptive question, because this syndrome does not exist in any other occupation I have seen. After returning to trucking, after 25 years of another career, I refuse to be hurried this time. I drive the speed limit, I stop when I want, I sleep when I want, do regular truck inspections, take a little walk (you get the idea)...It wasn't this way when I was dependent on the trucking paycheck though. Then it was "keep em rolling" at the expense of everything else - including peeing!

    Just think of it as my contribution to the planet ... reducing exhaust emmisions just like those fancy schmancy urea injection systems. :biggrin_25525:



    BTW, did you know urea is used as an additive in cigarettes to enhance flavour? And as a browning agent in pretzels as well as in many tooth-whitening products? :biggrin_2554:
