    Sadly, user4937 is correct. If you need to stop every couple hours, you might be looking in the wrong industry.

    I stop every few hours. Stretch, breathe, etc.

    More or less, it was a joke with some truth behind it.
    You won't always be able to stop everywhere, especially when nature calls. Sooner or later, you will find yourself in situations where you simply cannot use the restroom. All I was saying is that the man should know the things he's up against.

    Your actually incorrect you need to stop and get out of the truck every couple of hours just for your own health. Otherwise you may turn into that jellydougnut your choking down.

    Not healthy not to take a leak, holding is will screw you up.

    My suggestion to the OP. Instead of a ride along when u retire. My dad got bored. He couldn't go fishing. He decided to go to community college and he took the cdl class. He didn't have to pay nothing except for books. Everything else was free. Then if u do like it you will be working towards your actual cdl. Trust me its more fun driving than just riding
