    It's a bleeding heart way to start down the slippery slope.

    i gotta say, i never had any issue(s) using a customers restroom(s).

    with the exception of my last job that i retired from. the warehouse docking area was zoned with an alarm system, so i had to stay with-in that perimeter, other wise the cops DID SHOW UP, especially since all my deliveries were during the night and wee hours of the mornings. (9PM till like 3AM)

    bushes make for great toilets....

    then too, rest areas were always available to me, as well as the truckstop in NH.

    Regular ups/amazon/fed ex package trucks wouldn't be covered as Sec Trans doesn't have the ability to set maximum hos.

    I've crapped more outside in California than inside.

    This one Circle K they'd say the bathroom was always broken.

    Been broken for 2 years.

    So's had one of those bladder stretching race horse wizz's saved up.

    Went around to where their little picnic smoke break table was, filled up all their butt cans and ash trays.

    Those wildfires out there can start anyplace.

    You just haven't LIVED if you've never crapped in a Walmart sack! :rolleyes:

    I heard that the public restrooms on the beach in Hawaii are so nasty that ya gotta flush before ya take a dump, so there's no splash... :eek:

    Every job application I've seen for UPS and FedEx states they run under federal HOS We have package carriers here that can answer if they do fall under federal HOS or not.

    I've never done that. I have taken a giant one by some DUDES mailbox, that stunk horrifically. I mean the anodizing started peeling off the mailbox.

    No bathroom, no problem here.

    5 gallon bucket with a really really really good screw on lid and gasket and really thick trash bags lol. It lives on my catwalk for those types of situations. Use it tie it off find a dumpster and upend it later.

    I even have a camping seat for it lol.
