No Public Restrooms…

Some do. However few companies offer them. Mainly o/o's with custom builds.

 

There is no way I am crapping in my truck. Much easier to carry wipes and squat next to the tandems for that once a year emergency dump.

Where are you suppose to empty it when you do use it?

 

in most of the rest of the world that have flush toilets they think we are nasty to scrape off our backsides with paper instead of washing it clean with water like we do our hands. They have bidets or use what is called a 'bum gun' which is a sprayer to clean yer butt... I'm guessing the bottle wielding guys just don't want to spend $ on the take-along kind so they use the water bottle and leave it. Plus probably in male toilet stalls there's no place to set the bottle except the floor so they may not want to pick it back up....

 

Yeah.. I know what a bidet is, and that they're used widely across the globe.
I just had never put it together that so many were doing the Nestle French Connection.

 

You just named it lol. You won the internet today.

 

CHP calls out drivers cause it's a guaranteed source of revenue.

Blind, stoned, wtf distracted freeway princess's that are an accident looking to happen are ok though.

 

The entire #### industry needs an overhaul. Truly disgusting how hard truck drivers work and they get treated like crap. Not to mention the lousy pay for first, second or even third year drivers.

 

Hrm, I beg to differ, with some exceptions.

First, at-risk or second-chance drivers that have a history of issues will get paid less for a few years until they prove themselves and/or the problems slide off their record. In many cases those drivers would be lucky to pick up a job in a burger joint, so driving is still a step up.

Secondly, some drivers get stuck in a bad deal with the company that trains them. That should last only a year, tops, if the driver is smart enough to get out ASAP.

Thirdly, some companies trap new drivers in leases or purchases LONG before those drivers should even be thinking about leasing or owning.

However, a typical driver with a safe MVR and no felonies, who pokes around and makes a good choice about where to train, and refuses to get stuck in a lease or purchase for at least a year has strong income earning potential.

It's not like this industry requires much in the way of brains (though they help.) This industry revolves around safety, reliability, common sense and timeliness. Having all four of those things in sufficient quantity to be a solid driver is rare enough that decent drivers without issues can make a decent wage.
