giving drivers a bad name

It's tempting to call the police at times. If there were reports of arrests enough on the OTR truck sites maybe it would at least reduce the number of incidents.

As for using a new bottle each time ..... it ain't gonna fit in a Coke bottle!

And as for disposing of it in the trash can, opened or closed, I don't think the maintainance man would appreciate that much either.

The best solution .... in my humble opinion ... if you're gonna use a jug .... take it to the grass, empty it and then either, use it again, or dispose of it AFTER it is empty ..

Urine-filled Bottles. Roadside America

Washington state, among others have a real problem with those jugs ...

If convicted of urinating in public you could be labeled a sex offender and go on that list, perhaps forever.

For Pete's sake if your in a parking area or truck stop there is no reason to be so lazy and not just go inside to the actual bathroom! The bottle.. whatever if you can't stop or plan your trips, use it... Then dispose of it properly without tossing it all over the place.

I think it's fair to say... there's "truckers" and then there's truckers with some class and respect.

Early last year I saw a kid at the 49er TS whose job it was to pull the pee bottles out of the trash and pour the contents down an outdoor drain. He told me management had decided this practice was a cost savings whe factored against the cost per pound to haul away and dispose of thier trash. Since then I have never felt bad about disposing my bottle contents in the grass. It's actually the eco-friendly thing to do. Urine is sterile when it leaves your body. I produce about a gallon per day. I usually try to spread it around the grass,discreetly,in the dark. ( I have carried it into a bathroom in a bag to dispose of but that is smelly and you often have to go thru large public areas) . I once was getting the once over at a power plant. Hadn't been able to dispose of the previous days bottle. The guard was confused that I was carrying two gallons of urine. He called the supervisor back out to discuss if I could enter with a kitchen blender ( sharp blades !)

I told you guys about the time I went inside a Petro and I had two of there Big Blue Jogs for Soda and after the soda, one was clearly marked with a spray painted Yellow P on three sides so there could be noooo mistakes....I go inside to shower and I take my mugs to clean the P one and refill the other for a cold soda, I leave them on the counter, I go to grab some soap and when I return there gone, I wander around the store looking to see who had my cups to see this guy filling the P CUP with a nice cold soda, I walk over and say nothing like a cold drink as he tilts it up taking a big drink, and I say by the way, THE P STAND S FOR **** !!!!

I had a us express tt driver pour his **** bottle and it splashed on my truck! so I called us express dispatch after I screamed at driver and made them pay for a tt full wash. and I went to beacon and they paid with company account.

and even nastier a couple years ago while I was vanning I watched a vanner throw a sack of poop out on lot in front of the Laredo j. NASTY

OMG! Ur kidding right? They threw a bag of poop in the lot? How freaking lazy can someone be!?! I understand that sometimes u have to do what u but **** be discrete about it. If I ever had to do something like that (and it would have to be an absolute emergency. I mean like I ate something bad and I'm 100 miles for anything) I would be embarrassed and wouldn't want anyone to know, let alone an entire lot full of drivers.

"Good grief ...... you would rather the VAN driver just threw it out alongside the interstate, or throw it out the window as he drives down the ramp? "


No take the jug and dispose of proper.. Rest area and truck stops have these things called trash cans, a very good invention.

Drivers will continue to do what drivers have always done. They're just not necessarily used to having women watch them do it.

Just other guys who act like undomesticated animals in public places, huh? Blaming it on women is the lamest excuse ever for inexcusable behavior.

Why not just put it in a bag and dump it down the toilet at first chance....and dispose of it properly ...too many full bottles will cause the trash bag to rip open and someone will have to handle it....every animal pees in the creek....

Men who act like pigs in public are just that, pigs. Same gooe for women. I won't even go into what I have seen women do in truck stop lots.

The problem boils down to 'disgusting is as disgusting does' The gender of the 'disgusting one' does not matter.

Except to those [like TennesseeHawk] who seem to think the only problem with urinating in public is that women complain about it.
If you thought I was defending women, you misunderstood - I've seen enough to know they are as capable of disgusting behavior as anyone else. [I NEVER use a public restroom without wiping the seat first.]
Some people think 'anything goes' if nobody's watching.....

Nope, did not think you were defending anyone. I was just commenting in general.

Fort Wayne Truck Stop- Sitting in the old Bull Pen facing the building. A T/T pulls off the fuel island, blocks my exit. Steps out on his steps, pulls it out and starts to pee. Less than 65 feet from the building, and less than 25 feet from me. So, I get on the CB and was talking about how this dirtting pig was pee'in, and if any women wanted to see a very small.....well, he pack that little thing up and pulled off very fast.

Let me tell you about the time I was so tired I went into the womens bathroom at a rest area in Georgia. I went into the restroom and sat down on a toilet and I was like "this is a very clean restroom with no pee on the seats and a nice perfume smell; this ain't normal." Then I heard some females walk into the restroom and begin talking and I finally realized that the reason why the toilet was so clean is because I was in the women's restroom. I then began to plan my escape without being spotted - of which never happened. I opened the door and stormed out as some colored ladies jaws dropped. I apologized to them and said I had to go so bad I went into the wrong restroom. I then proceeded to drive out of there before the cops were called! lol

Now on the jug situation - I am guilty of using pee jugs - I am also guilty of peeing on my semi tire and off the side step on freeway onramps. I was much younger in my trucking days and much more careless. I have never behaved like this in my cargo van because there simply isn't enough truck to hide behind. But when I did do this in my trucking days, it was done on an onramp in the middle of the night.

As stated by a few other posters, you can dump yor jugs out on the grass or in the bathroom when you take a shower. I tend to use pee jugs very sparingly these days because it's just not my thing anymore. I only use them in extremen situations - like the time that I was on a run and I didn not have time to take a pee or I would have been a minute late. I had to go in a cup and then dispose of it laster on - had to do this while I was driving. I'm not proud of it, but the load got there just on the dot; although I did have 15 minutes to spare, I did have time ,I knew that my window of time would have been eaten up looking for the building at the rail yard. I ended up pulling into to the GE yard about a minute before the scheduled delivery time. Needless to say no one cared, but I was on time.

My mother thinks we are all crazy for using pee jugs. I like to mess with her and say that i'm going to use them in the house because i'm too lazy to get up at night to go to the bathroom. She calls us crazy. I told her not everyone does this but the publics perception of drivers is pretty bad. But i'll tell you this much, when I pulled into California and saw all of the jugs lining the on and off-ramps, I thought to myself "this is the truckers way of telling california to shove it" and I thought that was a pretty good message to send to the whacky Liberals in this state. With that i'll let this topic evaporate! lol

Hahaha!
Reminds me of the perfect response to 'flashers': "Hey - that looks just like a penis, in miniature!"
