    Well the word algebra is Arabic. We saw the quadratic equation in 200 or 300 BCE... the Pythagorean theorem, etc. we think the Middle East pick up a lot of it from India who already had it, at least to some primitive degree.

    Piss bottles are important! It’s bad to hold it you can damage the bladder.

    What - you don't like piss bottles? Piss bottles. Piss bottles. Piss bottles.
    How about dirty, filthy, disgusting truck cab interiors? Smelly old socks? Two bushel of old fast food?
    What's not to like? Let me guess; it's the Algebra, isn't it?
    Sorry, I'll cut it out. Really didn't think I would get called on it.
    You do use it every day, without even thinking about it - backing in next to that curb,
    in the mirror, and where do I cut it hard - on what line - to end up closer to this door?
    Truck driving brains run on an auto-pilot Algebra; especially calculating angles in reverse.

    We always call them the "Dutch East India Company". They are the only company to run a full military. Officially that is , proxy mercenary forces and or militia are fairly common in modern times.

    Totally disgusting.
    I have on very rare occasions, rest area 5 miles away, bladder says now or else, had no choice but to use a bottle, but like others have mentioned, at the very first opportunity it is disposed of properly.
    As far as the truck, mine is a little disorganized, because no matter how well you try and store stuff for the longer periods on the road, you just never seem to have enough room. But, I blow my truck out everyday, I wipe it down once, sometimes twice a week with Lysol. I change my linens faithfully every week, or more often as needed, depending on how busy I've been. I faithfully remove my trash every day.
    There is no reason for anyone to ever have to live in a pig sty. Not only for health reasons, but can you imagine what shippers and receivers think of truck drivers, when they pull into their facilities, you can't see the dashboard, garbage piled up in the passenger seat, they open the door and soda cans, candy bar wrappers, and such come flying out.
    I agree with others, if this is an ongoing issue, request another trainer, get plenty of pictures, and turn his backside into upper management. This is totally unacceptable behavior for a trainer.
