    I'm talking about the little trucks, not guys in box trucks with lift gates or semis doing PD work. Even if the drivers company makes them follow the hos, they are still not under the jurisdiction of sec trans. As I read the bill, general home delivery isn't covered, even if it's a business working out iif a home.

    Roger that... I was in the Infantry, so crapping in the woods (or anywhere else) doesn't pose any great problem for me, lol. Somehow that reminds me of a time when I dragged a load to Gloucester City, NJ, just south of that Camden hellhole across the Delaware from Philly, and I wound up waiting there for the receiver to open early in the morning. Total industrial ghetto complete with crackerheads roaming the 'hood... I decided the safest course of action was to take a big ol' dump in the middle of the road (no traffic yet), hammer in one hand to guard against surprises. I gotta admit, the 'hood actually looked BETTER with that BIG OL' STEAMER in the road, lol. Probably scared a few drivers once traffic picked up... thing was all curled up like the 'Alien' on the center line, lol. :eek:

    All the patients at the dentists I go to, I'm ranked #2 by the hygienist for best taking care of teeth.

    I'm in and out in 30 minutes, bib to Bill paid.

    I haven't brushed my teeth inside a truck stop in probably 6 or 7 years, always bottle of water at back of trailer.

    Eh i did the bushes and bags thing in the oilfield. I own my rig now and taking a nice crap is worth the extra hastle :p

    Also free life advice always check your not about to drop a duce directly atop a wasp nest. They dont like that and neither will you when they have their say.

    What I've noticed is most of the people that CRY about showers, bathrooms, blah, are most of the biggest slobs in our industry.

    Kind of sad state of society, but I personally wouldn’t let drivers use restrooms, seen them destroy nice facilities at customers, finger paint on walls and carve up tiles and mirrors and break things. These were facilities that only drivers used. Sorry nothing but a port a jon and a hand wash station.

    Although watch how loves and other stops clean showers. Swipe and wipe with other persons towels. I always carried bleach water in a spray bottle and Lysol wipes and spray. Did that for over 30 years. Some nasty scuzzy truckers and people in general.
