    This morning, driving into New Jersey had a stomach bug, stopped at rest area...nice. One hour Later, arriving at the Receiving Company: Quivican Warehouse, 200 Hollister Road, Teterboro, NJ. 07608; upon arrival greeted by Guard, whom takes BOL, records info, while telling me to park on their fence row & await their call to be assigned a dock. At that time, myself, I'm asking the Guard if there's a bathroom that I may use. Guard States, we don't have rest rooms for drivers. (I told him about my issue...stomach bug). Didn't faze the hard charger. Complained to the MGR. the 20'ish female rcvg clerk, whom states, the rest room is out of service. The Company appears to have over a hundred employees, I wasn't prepared to be lied to. Crap Language.

    You can thank previous drivers that trashed their restrooms, so much so, that they are now off limits to other drivers !

    I don't blame them, I wouldn't offer drivers a restroom either.

    I know a lot of drivers don't agree with this, but this is one of the reasons I keep a bucket and scented trash bags and toilet paper under my bunk.
    In case of an Emergency !
    Not ashamed to say I had to use it one time in my 2yrs out here

    I like the signs that are at receivers that say No Public Restrooms. Because we all know we are just the public that randomly shows up. But, I wouldn't cater to slobs either.

    I agree with that, It's a smart idea for emergencies... Cabela's sells a portable toilet for like 80 bucks....

    When I was OTR, I carried the emergency bucket. However, if I were in the OP's position of being sick and someone told me I couldn't use the restroom, I would be tempted to walk out to the employee parking lot and squat between cars.

    Myself, +21years & + 2 Million Safe Miles...never been in contact with this language before. I do not have a, "Do Not Go To This Place List" ...I run every where. The rate paid going into this place was for 543 miles...good enuff. I don't need this revenue that much...i'll pass on returning to that Location; first time for every thing...annoyed

    If you gotta go, stick that ### over the ICC bar and have at it. Worse case, you get to not deliver their ever again. Just sayin'
