    I personally would just wait to say something as soon as you pass the first exit that has like a 60 mile Gap until the next exit lol.

    That is what I was try to tell you. U said I will drop them off at the nearest terminal , sounded childish to me but I guess I am just an adult , sorry.
    I have no plan of guzzling I was just curious as to how things will be out on the road. I was looking for a mature answer not to be slammed because I might need to pee, lighten up , just looking for info.

    In all reality you will learn to limit fluid intake to what you need. I run into that problem from time to time. I deliver in Florida so I guzzle water constantly and piss like once a day lol. About once a week they will have me linehaul and I still guzzle the water out of habit from being in that red truck and find that I have to pee too much. I am learning to scale it back when I don't need it. You will get there, don't sweat it.

    If Triple is grumpy it's for a darn good reason. He is the authority here mostly for oversize work.

    I always plan on a trip to slow down on liquids and if my trainer don't like to stop often I will deal with it but when I am on my own I will pee whenever I feel like it lol
    I have total respect for most people and I am sure I can get along with most trainers but as I can see there are some that are a little out of plum lol
     
    FlaSwampRat Thanks this.

    I have zero experience otr so this is just a thought that could be so very wrong but I imagine pee breaks are going to be a very tiny part of ant potential problem. I think it will be living in something the size of a jail cell on wheels for weeks with another person you don't know. That's not to say it's gonna be bad but I just always pictured that to have the potential to be very awkward. Just go out there and do your best.... it's all you can do. If a trainer doesn't like you for whatever reason #### em... it's not the only game in town.
