    Riding with a trainer is the hardest part of trucking. The living gets so much easier when you have your own truck.

    Speak up. You DON'T have to live like that, even in his truck.

    I can't drive for six hours straight without stopping. That's' just ridiculous.

    Just playing Devil's Advocate here, but does he know about your discomfort? It might be thoughtless on his part, but if you haven't voiced your needs it just might not have occurred to him.

    Naptown has a point. Remember, most men don't do hints, and are genetically programmed to totally miss what to women would be the blindingly obvious.

    If you need to pull over and squeeze the kitten, say so. If he has a problem with it, kick him in the ding-ding and get a new trainer. ;)

    In 13+ years, I still have yet to use my truck as a toilet.

    Your trainer is a complete jack wad.

    What you seriously need to do is inform management.

    In the taking matters into your own hands column, go in the sleeper, drop your trousers, and pee right on the bunk or the floor.

    There is no misunderstanding here. Who takes a leak in a moving truck with a woman inside. No amount of crazy imagination can come up with an excuse for that. If the OP was my daughter and telling me this story I would absolutely go nuts.

    This is a bit off topic.
    But where I am in BC you are not allowed to drive more than 3 hours or 240 kms ( about 149 miles) without a mandatory stop to check on your load. That point is somewhat worthless though since all brake check stops are mandatory to stop at and inspect your truck, and seems they are not thst far apart up here. Sure its only a 4 or 5 minute stop, so barely enough to be considered a stop, but enough for a pee.

    Please lets make room for me, I'll be locked on that Mr Mess. Begging pardon if I had a daughter trainee. I'll toss him and stay there training the Young Lady myself. She will hae to do a awful lot of driving.
