    I believe this is a violation of basic human rights, to provide a restroom for anyone doing business as a trucker and should be addressed in the Courts. How bout it OSHA ? Hymroid.....

    employer's are required to have rest rooms for employees--- your not a employee
    business open to the public are required to have rest rooms for the public--

    if the business isn't open to the public then no they are not required to let you use the employee rest room

    Considering the slobs in this industry now...who wants filthy bathrooms? Look at most Truck Stop/Rest Area restrooms...case and point. Truckers are their own worst enemy.

    Just whip it out & pee on the bathroom door! If they ask why you did such a thing, simply state that you had to go, they would not let you in, so you got it as close as you possibly could. Then let 'em know next time a driver needs to go, they might allow them to use the actual bathroom so this doesn't happen again.

    I use the women's restroom whenever I can. They have better soap and full body mirrors.

    I have no ethic problems with leaving a steaming pile at their dock. I do make sure I don't get none on the driveshaft, I actually like me mechanics.

    Its shippers/receivers like these that complain about truckers being nasty, but dont want to offer them the restroom. I'm not one for pissing or taking a crap in anyone's parking lot, but if they wont let you use the restroom then you do what you have to do.

    There was a place I delivered to, they buzz you into the building. I come in about 0500 and observe on my way to the dock office, the main offices with all the desks, and a restroom at the back-- just took a mental pic for future reference. Go to dock office and get assigned dock etc then walk back through offices and make a short detour to those restrooms. Dock super comes running over yelling at me as I'm pushing the door open, I just go ahead on in and use the facilities. They were not happy at all that I used their restroom.

    The next time I went there was several weeks later so figured they forgot me by then. Buzz me in but now the ladies are in the office (witnesses) as I walk back to the use their restrooms. Come out and the one secretary tells me to report to the dock office super. This guy had his back turned to me for dramatic pause (he knew I was there) I gave him about one thousand one, one thousand two, and started walking out. This is when he turns all school principal on me lol. I just nod and say OK.

    Well, let's just say I never did it but I heard of a guy who crapped in a bag in his truck then carried it into the offices after being buzzed in and stashed it in one of the desks trash can so the smell would permeate the entire office.

    Tell your dispatcher, No. I will not go to a facility where no restrooms or port -a-johns are available for the driver. Find another shipper...:mad:
