    Say screw you and use the bathroom anyways! Youre not some junkie off the street trying to use their bathroom for petes sake!

    And if they still say no and ya gotta dump bad enough, drop your pants right on their front lawn and go lol. That'll teach them for not being humane to the truckers who bring their crap to them. (Hahaha, no pun intended! Lol)

    In 14+ years I have yet to use the truck as a toilet.

    And you guys are talking about taking a dump in the truck.

    I can only remember one shipper I loaded at that would not let a guy use their facilities, I have loaded and unloaded at countless places that does not have facilities.
    I think the problem is not as bed running open deck as it is with boxes.
    Now when you go through the gate up north and out on the field, you are required to carry a spill kit, and if you get caught dumping so much as a half glass of water, you will be scraping it up and putting it in your spill kit. Sometimes you will be stuck out there for several hours, but a lot of yards have porta potties, so far I have still never had to use my truck for a restroom, but you just don't get caught. lol

    Ya know up till Sunday night I could have said the same thing. But yeah there's always a but. On 93 halfway between Wells and Jackpot my stomach did some horrible things and I knew there was no waiting. Luckily I had a 5 gal bucket full of bungie's. So dumped the bungie's and ya y'all know what happened. So now I can't say I've never just hope I never have to again

    I only accept loads to San Francisco—you can poop anywhere you want there.

    Street corner... POOP!

    In line at the DMV... POOP!

    Drinking coffee at Starbucks... POOP!

    You can even poop in a toilet there if the urge hits.

    Some of those heavy plastic 1 gal tea containers have a screw cap that can be secured with a torque wrench. js

    I lost a bucket that way at a TA. Woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly realized that I was gonna go. And it was going to happen in 3 minutes or less no matter what. Wasn't my proudest moment but it beat pooping in the parking lot cause I sure wasn't gonna make it to the store!
