I guess you have your bladder and bowels trained pretty well. Mine normally don't get full until I past that sign that say no services for 67 miles. Or when you been holding it for a long time and you push the brakes to get off the exit. Then I reallllllly have to go. Then you pull into the truck stop and all the fuel islands are full. Now you have to back up... Ohhh goodness. You back in and you have to walk half a mile or lets say a 100 yards to the truck stop and you to the point of doing. The I gota P P dance and holding it. You walk in and a bus just arrived 5 minutes b4 you came in and all the urinals are full, and b4 you can unzip. Your bladder explodes and now you doing the walk of shame back to the truck because you didn't answer when nature called. Trip plan/Pre trip. Paper towels check, Hawaiian Punch gal jug check, baby wipes and a roll of Charmin check Air freshener check. Red mountain dew check, bag of skittles check. Not stopping till we have to fuel or 30 min break We beaaaaaaaak quiet. Yeeeee hawwww
auxiliary power unit. battery packs that allow you to use power electronics without having to idle the truck.
Been there, done that - many times. It just makes me plan a bit better to allow for my bladder. 5 minutes at a rest area is a good fix, and it does not usually hose my time. In a real pinch I will pull off on the side and use the pee bottle. That's a last resort though, I'd hate to get rear-ended as I was peeing in a bottle. It just seems so undignified to go out that way.
I know that feeling with out even starting trucking yet xD But Alas, it has not happened to me yet, thankfully!
Can we not talk about having to poop in grocery bags? C'mon man, yeah; we're truckers, and any trucker who tells you he's never "done it" in a bag or a waste basket- he might be a liar. Any trucker who tells you he's never peed in a bottle; HE IS A LIAR! But here's the thing, we're manly as all hell, the women who do this job; the manliest things that walk on this planet. With that said, WE'RE SO MANLY we don't need to talk about defecating in containers and receptacles that aren't designed to hold feces.
