    lol Talk to your trainer, they all do different things but, be careful they might try to set you up especially if the have a policy about pulling over on shoulder. Other than that out of sight out of mind.

    My trainer drank a lot of coffee. He was the one who was always needing to stop.

    Every time we stopped my trainer would grab 2 or 3 hotdogs and $50 bucks worth of scratch off lotto tickets. Say, don't leave yet I have a few winners to cash in. Instead of cash, he get more scratch offs and take the winners in again and again til he lost all his money. Otherwise he'd have his scratchers and say go ahead and start driving but stop at the truckstop at the state line so I can cash in my winners.

    He'd be all pumped up and excited about his winners then trade them over for more fresh scratchers every time til he was broke. The hotdogs made him poop about 3 - 5 times a day. It had the effect of clearing his mind because he was always coming up with get rich quick schemes. One such idea was to get loads to Oregon and buy tax free TV's and bring them back to California and sell them at a discount and use the profits to buy lottery scratchers.

    Yep, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result... I keep delivering load after load over and over and the result is the same.... I'm broke and insane.

    What about the other thing guys need to do not 1 or 2, bust a nut. Their not much room for privacy in the truck. I was a trainer for a while, one guy would sleep in his clothes. Another guy sleep nude. One guy even had a rag to wipe butt after number 2 other wise his underwear would be a mess. So a pee jug is no big deal.

    Handle "number 3" while you've got your private time in the shower. It's a good time for number 2 also if you can get yourself trained that way. I shower at night so sometimes that doesn't work but nothing I hate worse that sitting on a sullied rear end for the rest of the day!:mad:

    taking a leak is what Gatorade invented Gatorade bottles for. If you get the lemon lime flavor it even looks the same coming out as it did going in!

    If that's the way to handle number 3, then we'll all know what the drivers that are taking several showers a day are up to.:sign10:
