    In 17 years I only had one kid drag his creeper out (I was empty). The older guy he was with said you really don't wanna do that. It didn't take him long to look under neath my wagon. lol.

    As as far as the pee hose out the floor being legal I'm sure it is. But guys think of the mechanics that have to work on these trucks.

    If those are the standards to be a trucker I guess I haven't been a trucker for almost 20 yrs.

    If Western Express is well known for being crooked how have they not been investigated and/or shutdown? Do all these "harsh" regulations not apply to carriers?

    And OP

    you will learn (if you decide to return) that piss jugs are a part of the job / sometimes when it is warranted- like when it's -10 out and you just don't feel like going inside to take a piss...

    or or if you're pressed for time and you piss while driving.
    and to all of you who will bash me for saying this ADMIT IT you have done it discreetly just as well it is part of the lifestyle - an unpleasant / unfortunate part but it is what it is

    I have stopped on the shoulder and went around the right side and peed. Try to piss and drive I'm not that talented. If I'm gonna stop why not get out and leave the jug out of the equation

    I delivered my first load today. Could not be any happier, the world is opening up to me little by little. I am working for not the greatest company out there, but I don't care cause there is no better feeling than the open road and yourself. I had 3 trainers. My 2nd trainer had a catheter, but that wasn't why I got off. He didn't have the skills I needed for me to succeed. So, what did I do I told him the truth, then he kicked me off the truck. That was my goal. Becouse I knew if I request another one,student department will ignore it. My last trainer literally knew everything I needed to know. If more trainers were like my last one, there would be a lot less accidents out there. So, with all this said, trucking it's either you want it or you don't. If you don't great more parking space for me. People had worse experiences than you.
