    Its true. One of my instructors years ago was a service manager at a truck dealer. Had to refuse a few trucks because of that.

    I'll be the first one to say when I have wetted a tire or two in my time...but this is taking it to a new level and I've heard plenty of stories about mechanics seeing things like this pulling the truck out and telling the driver to get on down the road.

    My swamper rigged up a clear hose like that and run it out the vent in the sleeper, so he could vape and blow the smoke outside. The first time I saw the smoke in the mirror, I let off of it thinking the truck was on fire for a second. lol
     
    D.Tibbitt, homeskillet and FlaSwampRat Thank this.

    I see people in cars "vaping" and think yeah I wonder if they bought the good #### from Colorado...then I realize it's a honda civic and go nope must be the 2 little ####ers I chased out of the creek bed a week ago...then I realize they're vaping and go kid you need a role model.

    Had a built in piss tube in a truck I used to run. Large pipe that went down, then necked down into a large ball valve then necked down into smaller pipe that exited out under the sleeper. The rule was no dumping it on pavement (side of the road didnt count). I never drained it while moving either as Im the one who used to crawl under it and grease it.
     
    FlaSwampRat Thanks this.

    That is disgusting. I can't imagine the inside of that truck. If I was a mechanic I would refuse to work on it. Can you imagine the undercarriage!

    They need to have a gallon jug, a Venus to Mars, and baby wipes in the truck for when you can't get to a bathroom. Then empty in the grass away from the walking areas at a truck stop.

    Women can be so nasty!
