Throwing pee bottles out anywhere is purely disgusting. People can say what they want , how they want to say it , and with as much embellishment as they want to say it. There isn't a load , or anything else for that matter that can/will stop me from stopping , parking in a safe place , and going inside to use the bathroom. Way too many fuel-stops , truck stops , convenience stores , Wal-Marts/big box stores with plenty of parking to allow an adult to go inside and relieve himself. So you say you don't have time , a place to park , the skills to do so , to this I call BS.....all you have is an extreme lack of respect not only for others , but mostly for yourself. It's not too hard to figure-out that your bladder is getting too full , unless you are really ill , or have a condition where you can't control your bladder , you ALWAYS have ample time , to not only look for , but to find a suitable place to make use of. Using a pee-bottle is just for those types of folks that are merely too lazy to find a bathroom , and have no respect for anyone.....No excuses here...there "IS" always somewhere you can go "IF" you just look.
As far as those 2 letters that were linked , the first one was a little girl who was just trying to impress everyone reading her little story with her education....she spent a couple hundred words showing us all just how smart she thinks she is....folks like this (academics) are sure they are on such a higher scale than truckers , they have to remind themselves of that intelligence....all the while just proving how ignorant they truly are. The 2nd one , written from the heart , is much more true to life , and easier to read......not need for all that fancy gobblity-gook...just say what you mean.MZdanowicz, HotH2o, Night Prowler and 2 others Thank this. -
It is a well written story, problem is, the dumb driver that uses his/her truck like a toilet wont care!, I've talked with these drivers from time to time, and they claim "ever driver does it", sorry but you will never see me use my truck like a toilet, Also make me wonder? if they treat their truck like this, how does their homes look

People that toss their waste out has absolutely zero respect for the people that has to pick that up and dispose of it,for the state,town,city and property.Sad thing is,TRUCKERS DO NOT CARE.

Again T Dude, well said. I have seen bottles of pee all along the road ways. I use a 5 gal empty oil bucket. Even though the slots are cut, it is still air tight. As long there is fresh water 1/4 full in bucket there is no smell. I keep it between me and my 36" flat top cabin. When I stop for the night, I take in the head and empty it out and rinse out. My father taught me this "old school" method. Even my sissy wife who only went on one mission,in twenty years, a clean freak, approved. Again, I say "common sence" Mike

Why generalize?
I'll bet at least one of those 23 pee bottles was NOT a trucker.MZdanowicz and TripleSix Thank this. -
Well until I see a non trucker pulling that stunt,far as im concerned truckers are the culprit.I generalize because I have seen many truckers doing it and told many of them off.Its a filthy discusting thing to do.Many good clean drivers out there and have nothing but respect for them.But these discusting drivers,I wish when somebody catches them in action,say something to them.
