Man my portable toilet has saved me many times. I would its essential in our line of work. Especially when you are staying the night in an area with nothing around.

[-]

ApollyonFE@reddit

OP would fail the basic English test apperently 🤣

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Like I told someone else on here..there are plenty places that have no bathrooms at all and also..I’m taking a portable toilet over “the outside bathroom”

[-]

IAMATruckerAMA@reddit

Why use a pic that undermines your point if places that don't have any bathrooms are so common? Just post a pic from one of those instead

[-]

Everyone gets the notion on here though..we all know there’s plenty of places that don’t have restrooms..I don’t count their absurdly gross facility outside..I want to use the public restroom inside like a human being

[-]

IAMATruckerAMA@reddit

I've never had a pickup or delivery location without any sort of bathroom

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Go to target in jessup, md…that’s another place that doesn’t have one..there’s several places that don’t have them

[-]

IAMATruckerAMA@reddit

I called them up and they gave me directions to the porta potties

[-]

SnakeandNape5000@reddit

The cargo terminal at O'Hare doesn't allow truckers to use their bathrooms. I was there for twelve hours waiting on my load to clear customs. Guess who found a spot between the trailers to pee?

[-]

RevBair@reddit

Have you ever had to shit in a portoshitter when it's triple digits out, or below freezing? I have, and neither are experiences I'd like to repeat

[-]

IAMATruckerAMA@reddit

Yup, but why say no bathroom when you're mad about bad bathroom

[-]

American74@reddit

You mean the plastic stand up litter box for the “animals” (truckers) huh? Like the Petro in Gary Indiana 4 toilets but 425 parking spots. Or port of Oakland, one toilet and 500-1,000 drivers a day. Should be a law on toilet to parking spot ratios amended into building codes. Especially for shippers, consigned and truck stops, even terminals.

[-]

smellyjerk@reddit

Apperently?

[-]

Not_all_cows_moo@reddit

Pee on the ground

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Be respectful!! lol

[-]

RevBair@reddit

Then I'll pee on my tires. Then need to cool off, anyway 😁

[-]

Not_all_cows_moo@reddit

I'm bringing them, their goods/products. They can't even respect me by allowing me to use their bathroom? Fuck them, I'm pissing where I damn well please.

[-]

goshjosh189@reddit

Definitely not going to respect someone who doesn't respect me

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

I get it

[-]

Decorus_Somes@reddit

I don't blame em, yall are nasty.

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Not me

[-]

Cardinal_350@reddit

If you shit inside your truck you are in fact nasty. 25 years and 3 million miles. Never once shit inside my truck

[-]

RevBair@reddit

Then you're a lucky one. Or went outside. Just remember that when nature calls, she can be put on hold only for so long until she becomes a real mother...

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

I also go to the bathroom 2-3 times a day regularly so it’s good to have my toilet in case the bathrooms are ultra nasty or too far away and it’s late at night

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

I shit when I get up…….in the truck lol

[-]

Decorus_Somes@reddit

Me either, but let's not play dumb here. Truckers for the most part are very gross

[-]

Q7017@reddit

I get that. Someone made a mess in my bathroom once, so I never let any guests use any bathrooms at my house ever.

[-]

Norsedragoon@reddit

Messaged recieved, shitting in the parking lot?

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

That’s against the rules lol

[-]

RevBair@reddit

Only if you get caught

[-]

Shinneman@reddit

If you know you’re not going back, you go out to the employees parking lot. Can you take a dump between the cars? One of their employees hopefully we’ll find it especially if they step in that policy changed shortly after that.

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

🤣🤣🤣

[-]

MustangMark83@reddit

One place I picked up at kept me there for 24 hours. They locked the bathrooms at night when the day shift went home. Guess who went to the bathroom in the grass on their property? After that, I keep a portable toilet in my truck which is basically a bucket and a trash bag

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

How is that even possible? Longest I've ever stayed at a place was 8 hours, and that was the loading line

[-]

Casperuis495@reddit

Once sat at the pepsi in Jacksonville for 48 hours. And guess what? They dont pay detention.

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

Yeah fuck that, I'd be looking for a new job

[-]

Casperuis495@reddit

Just one drop, I didnt work for pepsi lol

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

Still lol

[-]

18-Spinning-Wheels@reddit

I spent 38 hours at the Hunts Point Produce Market once because the receiver refused to unload the product until it was sold. It's very possible to be detained for excessive amounts of time.

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

I had no idea reefer work had you sitting for so long

[-]

18-Spinning-Wheels@reddit

It doesn't always, although it can be brutal for detention.

[-]

ThePr0fessi0nal@reddit

Reefer likes to have what's called "just in time" delivery which is where you arrive, bump the dock and wait with your trailer hooked until they need what you are carrying. It might be the next load out, it might be the next day. Meat plants are also really bad about taking forever. My trainer and I were at one in Nebraska and sat long enough to get a 34 while waiting. They had a scale on site and when we scaled out they also massively overloaded us so we had to bump the same dock 4 times after getting loaded to make weight. The last thing that makes it take forever is what's called lumpers. They don't work for the warehouse. They like to take their sweet time to unload you. If the facility you are delivering to uses Capstone you are going to be waiting a good while.

[-]

Existing_Inside5200@reddit

I thought my longest of 11 hours on a dock was crazy!! Reefers suck!

[-]

TruckinTuba@reddit

I only did flatbed OTR, the only reefer work I've done I loaded my own trailer with the fork lift, it only takes maybe an hour lol. Those wait times are crazy!

[-]

Eatmymustardsauce@reddit

I upvoted this comment because your last comment was downvoted for asking a question

Kisasi_ABDL@reddit

Hi, trucker with ibs/incon issues here

Im diapered anyway so lmao doesn't effect me

[-]

AKWV80@reddit

Dump on their lot

[-]

hugothebear@reddit

I was a company driver and they didn’t grant us keycard access to use the bathrooms. Most places that were staffed would badge me in. Except for one dude in Albany. Fuck that dude.

[-]

Chaps_Jr@reddit

All my homies hate that dude in Albany

[-]

RockertheTrucker@reddit

Albany??

[-]

hugothebear@reddit

Well, technically Latham

[-]

Jacktheforkie@reddit

I worked for Evri, they wouldn’t give me access cards for the fuckin depot, so a 2 minute piss turned into half an hour because like 3 permanent staff had a card, and management wondered why there was a puddle of piss in the corner of the yard

[-]

SushiCoffeee@reddit

I second that fuck that dude POS

[-]

Fractured-Justice@reddit

You should have used a different sign because this sign says they have bathrooms. Yes, there's a lot of companies that don't have any facilities at all, but like this particular one you're trying to use as an example has bathrooms for you to use even if they are Port O John's

[-]

Pitiful-MobileGamer@reddit

This reminds me of a story from a food production plant somewhere around Allentown. The place was known for not having any bathroom facilities, but still making you wait a door for hours on end.

Anyways the driver used his portable shitter, and disposed of the bag in the nearby dumpster. I guess the odour got some attention of a worker, shit smell where there shouldn't be. Cameras are reviewed and the shitty situation is thrown out the carrier or broker of the offender.

I'm always amazed how American corporations just completely disregard even basic humanity.

[-]

Fractured-Justice@reddit

I have a similar example. I don't know who the customer was but the driver was, Eli Yoter He's mildly famous on social media as an ex Amish but he's also a truck driver and yeah during covid he what's straight up like. "Yeah They kept me waiting here too long and wouldn't let me and to use the bathroom, so I went behind the trailer skirt and took a shit on their pavement."

[-]

Kong__Dong@reddit

I think anyone who has been a driver can tell you why they are like that. Sad to say if I owned a business I wouldn’t let them use it either.

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Because ppl are gross I get it..and it’s a shame because you have to assume everyone is going to mess up your restroom

[-]

DonkeyOfWallStreet@reddit

Yeah civilised world ain't civilised.

It can't be that hard to design and build an easy clean toilet/shower area to the places.

[-]

Nero-Danteson@reddit

A couple of places I went to had prison style.

[-]

DreamsServedSoft@reddit

truckers need to not be dirty slobs themselves too then

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

It’s inhumane bruh smh

[-]

Kong__Dong@reddit

The worst I ever seen was when I worked hauling wood chips and we had to unload ourselves with a lift. You drive your truck onto it and there was a little shed with the controls in it about 50 feet away. Drivers would piss and shit in there on the floor. There was mnt dew bottles with what looked like diarrhea in it.

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Ewww lmao

[-]

DumatRising@reddit

Remember brothers and sisters we all have our pride but sometimes it's an emergency. Be prepared. Better to have it and not use it ever than to need it and not have it. Nothing wrong with talking some precautions to avert a disaster. Just try to get rid of the shit in a responsible way.

Especially in the winter. If you get snowed in a bucket with some cat litter is gonna be your best friend until they can get you out.

[-]

Robjla@reddit

I use the trash can toilet in my truck in an emergency I changed my diet to low carb I was going more than 3 times a day 95 percent food made in truck

[-]

genocyde26008219@reddit

You guys don’t piss in the parking lots of these places out of spite? No? Just m…a guy I know?

[-]

DathBlah@reddit

Why Walmart stopped allowing overnight parking and Buc-ees has never allowed trucks. Some people are just feral animals

FloppyTacoflaps@reddit

Can you not read?

Places without bathrooms can have a little piss jug, as a treat

King_Kuntry_1776@reddit

I've been using portable toilets for years. Bottles and trash bags brother. This new breed is soft

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Yes..be a man..bunch of betas

[-]

Timely_Flow_3346@reddit

Buying a portable toilet was the best thing I had ever bought for my truck saved me well over a handful of times.

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

Ppl don’t understand..you’re not always going to be in a place that has restrooms

[-]

Timely_Flow_3346@reddit

Whats crazy is all it took was one night at farm in country side of NY shitting in a field to change that for me. LOL

[-]

Spare-Good-5372@reddit

Oh look, the whole building is a public urinal now

[-]

Ogbunabalibali@reddit

Step 1. Find the outside employee picnicking table or eating area. It usually doesn't have cameras because that's where the warehouse workers smoke weed.

Step 2. Leave a present.

Step 3. They get the message real quick.

[-]

Desperate_Fee_808@reddit (OP)

How dare you accuse them of smoking marijuana lol

[-]

Ogbunabalibali@reddit

We all know whats up lol

[-]

PlymouthSea@reddit

Are you really the public if you're there on business, though?

[-]

DefiantComposer9469@reddit

Yeah this is exactly when a portable setup suddenly makes sense, all it takes is one bad stop with no access and you’re stuck. A lot of people say they won’t need it until they actually do. Not ideal, but definitely one of those “better to have it than not” situations

[-]

TemporaryOk9310@reddit

Yeah im shitting between trailers on the dock

[-]

GuzziHero@reddit

In the UK it is illegal for any delivery or collection point to deny you bathroom facilities.

[-]

zzooooomm@reddit

In my state shippers and receivers must allow truckers to access existing customer/employee bathrooms. This bs is dehumanizing.

[-]

rig53official@reddit

Two kinds of drivers out here: the ones with a bucket, and the ones who haven't been held 11hrs at a Tyson plant yet. Second group always becomes the first group 😂😂
