    I agree. Dehydration is not a good long term plan. Ask anyone that has kidney stones.

    I recommend using the Carebag Male Urinal with Super Absorbent Pad sold by Amazon. Basically they are a thick disposable bag equipped with a pad that absorbs and converts urine and turns it into a gel. The urine is turned completely into a gel and does not smell especially once the bag is sealed. Do your planned trip and then toss the solidified bag into the trash. No wasted time but I wouldn't recommend it for #2. Most of us urinate more often than dropping the mother load so when you have to go #2 just use that as an opportunity to dispose of the urinal bag. Each box I ordered came with 20 bags..

    Coca cola can be used to clean battery terminals and toilet bowls, imagine what it does to your gut.

    get yourself a funnel with a deep opening and some tubing. attach tubing to funnel, run tubing thru the shifter boot. pee into funnel while driving, achieve super trucker status. as for crapping, just cut a hole in the floor and instantly level up to super duper trucker status
     
    Skid Mark, Grubby and Crude Truckin' Thank this.

    Are you a woman? Because that's what the female truckers do...

    With all the issues arriving about urinating while driving....my thought is if they can put a chemical toilet on buses why haven't they developed something on a smaller scale for trucks? Being a female this has become another hurdle for women. DOT regulations are strict about containers.....I have used TravelJohnny bags which get to be expensive; but much easier since its gels the liquid to prevent spills. Luckily my one trainer had the same mindset; when you have to go...stop and go....but he drank a lot of coffee so we got to be on the same timeframe....what other ideas are out there? Maybe someone can create a solution for male and female truckers. The healthy average for urination is 6-8 times but as much as 10 times a day. The need for a on-board solution is NOW!!
