405 shut down & it takes 5 hours to get from Long Beach to Castaic. Parked for the night on an urban street when you get sick. #### happens......literally. You only have to need that bucket once to make yourself eternally grateful for having it.
porta-potties?

I'm currently making plans to get into trucking but I hadn't even thought of this!!!!
Working in an office you take the facilities for granted and I'm definitely sensitive to this, I always pick the cleanest stall etc, will walk to different floor (several times even used the ladies room) if needed to get a clean one.
I'd hate to have to do my business in a nasty place or use a bucket. Where do you put the bucket when using it - I don't understand it?TruckDuo, CargoWahgo and Lux Prometheus Thank this. -
The way my "pattern" works, it's a 23 hour cycle; oh, and let's not forget I go at least twice a day, sometimes more.
And then there's the emergency... of course, feeding yourself (see cooking thread) helps alleviate that, but it does happen that Montezuma will strike at the most inopportune time.
Thanks for all the answers, folks! -
You don't do much camping and hunting, do you?
You just sit on the bucket in the sleeper. Or just sit outside if your in the middle of nowhere. And if your in my neck of the woods, if somebody passes by when your sitting, they just wave as they go by.

Cause some of us are old & our stuff don't work like you 20 somethings stuff does. When you start getting older... when you gotta go, you gotta go. And, if some of us didn't have provisions, we wouldn't ever get down the road. We'd be stopping every 75 miles. And by the time you get off the interstate, go to the TS, get in the lot, park & start your fast walk to the restroom.... you might make it & you might not. Get to the restroom, do your business, walk back to the truck, get back out on the interstate... you done went through 15 minutes. Do that about every hour or so or even every two hours... & you waste a lot of time & mileage every day.
And, when ya gotta get up once or twice a night & get fully dressed to go inside to use the restroom when its 20 degrees outside, then back out, then get undressed & get back in bed....
Laugh & poke fun but, you'll start getting old & your stuff wont work like it does now..... one day you'll see.
just sayin...
Cetane+, Lux Prometheus, peterd and 7 others Thank this. -
