Using a pop bottle or milk jug is unsanitary. I am willing to bet there is no trucker out there that disposes of it correctly. They just leave their urine bombs along side the road or parked in the parking lot of some truck stop.
Use a bathroom or properly dispose of your waste? What a ridiculous idea! What kind of example would that set for other truck drivers???

Obviously a bathroom is your first and best option, but there are times where you're caught with the urge where there's no place to pull over or stop to take care of nature's call. While a jug or other method should be a last resort, it should still be something you keep as an emergency supply.

I certainly hope you aren't trying to perform this feat while you are in motion because if you are,your body will be the next one I see laying on my cold, metal table at work and if you are stopped to do it then you can haul your sweet little behind out of the truck to do the deed can't ya?

How does a man aim to pee in a bottle or jug and not pee down his leg or spray the gas petal?
If you can hit that small of a opening and not spill a drop then there absolutely no friggen excuse for peeing all over the damn toilet seat at home.

That's why I recommend the Texas catheter. No aiming required.

The last paragraph I must agree, I have seen so many urine bombs along side the road it makes me sick.

Another thing I like to have is a cell phone to be able to call if in need of directions or the police. ( you can get them pre-paid ones I think at wall-mart)

Urine-filled 'trucker bombs' costly to state taxpayers

By Ryan Sabalow (Contact)
Monday, January 14, 2008

Chances are you've seen them along Interstate 5.
Plastic sports drink bottles or milk jugs half filled with brownish-yellow liquid.
"That's not apple juice," said Cliff Peterson, California Department of Transportation spokesman.

No, it's not.

Default Don't squeeze me into a small world view.

I am amazed at how small a world some people operate in. It is almost funny how drivers who have a regular route seem to place every other truck driver within their frame of experience.

I am hauling a different commodity every week, picking up in some small factory or dropping in some port with NO nearby restroom. The most common sense thing to do (as regards time saved) is to piss in a jug and when full, pour it on the ground (preferably soil.) Unsanitary? You ever clean a toilet? Ever snake out a sewage line? Any infantryman (and other outdoorsmen) knows what it is like to crap in the woods, it is no big deal. You learn to keep from being "unsanitary."

Please don't equate sensical ideas such as a piss-jug with 'trucker bombs'. There is no similarity other than plastic and piss.

You should carry a couple of those cheap Wal-Mart disposable cameras in case you have an accident/incident! Later when you go to court, or to jail, you have proof of what the scene actually looked like, cover your butt! These cameras can be had for about $3 each!
