    What a title, lol. Anyway, anyone have this problem and how do you cope with it on the road (especially with a trainer for a month or whatever, who I'm sure is not gonna wanna stop for me to take a leak every hour to half- hour)?

    I got my CDL April 2009 through a two month community college program, but the economy crashed and I live in northern Minnesota (Duluth area), so there aren't that many companies to choose from to begin with. So I've had this license for over eight years now, and haven't done anything with it. I know it's basically useless at this point, but I'm looking to get out of what I do now for a living and get into a truck, and I know it's gonna have to be through a Swift-type training program.

    I have to pee all the time man. I #### you not. I actually scheduled a doctor's appointment to see what the hell is going on. I'm not trying to piss off a trainer (pun intended), and if he's not a pee bottle enthusiast, I'm guessing I'll get thrown off the truck.

    Maybe this is the wrong career path for me? LOL.

    Anyone have this problem? And how do you deal with it?

    Thanks!

    I use a piss jug lol. I wouldn’t worry about just make sure you don’t splatter pee on your trainers bed. That’s a sure fire way to piss him off!

    How old are you. Could be an enlarged prostate. Also may want to get some zip ties

    I'm 39. Right on the cusp of PROSTATE MADNESS!!!

    I don't think it's a bladder infection. There's no pain, and it's been like this for quite some time. I thought it was cause I like to stay hydrated and that my kidneys were the best kidneys in the world functioning at such a high level, but a couple of people have informed me that getting up to pee four times a night is NOT NORMAL, lol.

    Couda fooled me. Been my normal for quite some time now.

    Just as an aside . . . with these freezer bags, are you guys able to pee in them while driving? Peeing in a jug while driving is kinda difficult all scrunched up at a 90 degree angle an' sheeit.

    Check with your doc. Could be a sign of diabetes.

    Well, what do you mean by often? Every 30 min or 1hr?

    Or now that I think about it,it could be bladder cancer.That's what my dad had and why he went to the bathroom so much.
