    You will be amazed at how much less stress there is with a pee bottle. It’s safer, better for your bladder, and the convenience factor is epic.

    Drive across the scales and pull to the side you’re up and rolling again in a flash.

    The other time I really use it is when I pull into fuel or eat. Normally I’m hustling to the rest room, but now I hop behind the curtain and then I can think straight as I finish fueling and going to eat.

    Turkey & broccoli soup for lunch. It’s cold and rainey so soup hit the spot.

    Chicken breasts are starting to cycle through the fry pan......

    After the first time through will dice them up for Burrito fillings. And finish frying them up with a bit more spice.

    Trying to avoid being cliche, yes there are so many different ways to make chili and it varies regionally. But I have to admit by jesus.....that looks really-really tasty!

    It isnt that hard to get rid of wizz bottles. Find the stom drain and pour it out there. The wife used to dump wizz into one gallon water bottles and drain them when we went to use the truck stop for showers. Rinse them out and haul back the empties.

    That picture that was posted between two trucks looked to be about 5 gallons.

    ROFLMAO!!!! You nearly made me choke to death on a mouthful of Gatorade!

    I woke up to temps in the high 20s at the home 20 this morning... Despite over sleeping by 2 hours... I didnt get out the drive until 0615.

    Oh I wouldn't argue the convenience factor ... no-no! There's little doubt in my aged head that I have deprived myself only out of disgust but, I drive a "one stack mack with a window in the back" ... so, privacy is at best, marginal once the sun comes up. Having said that, I'm a tanker yanker - have been for almost 30 years. There are those times when the calling comes very suddenly, as probably some of you (older) drivers might be familiar with. Standing in a station, with product dropping hinders my ability to run to the bathroom or the woods. Even worse, in broad daylight the urgency can make things unbearable and edge closely to peeing my pants. This is an old age predicament which can be extremely uncomfortable and leaves me dancing to the sound of the wind. So... maybe I can climb quickly into my day cab and close the door and manage somehow to hit the bottle... it all remains to be tested.

    Thank you for your encouragement and support.
