We all know you guys can make a knot with it, right? That's how you hold it in for so long....lol

Kidding asides, when you have to go and you're stuck in traffic, there's no escape. Now I figure that the guys can just grab an empty container and...you know. Us ladies...we can't do that. Specially if we're alone in the vehicle/truck and behind the wheel. I know there's a device sold in some natural health stores (Wholefoods) where you can slip it underneath you and pee "standing like a man"...lol but still, probably not that easy when you're behind the wheel and you need to lower your pants.

Also, I wake up a few times at night to go. It keeps me from sleeping if I don't. I don't see myself getting dressed, exiting the truck in the dark of night, walk to the bathroom at the truck stop, come back....you lose a good amount of sleep that way. Is there just enough room in the truck to keep a small portable/compact potty?

For all ladies out there and men if your interested in what to do if you got to go. I was researching for my own needs as a lady driver going over the road starting tomorrow. I to have to go in the night due to my blood pressure with HCT in it. I found an item called Travel John. . They are disposable urnial bags with a special designed narrow top that is designed for no missed drips for ladies using. They each hold 28 ozs and as soon as the urine hits the ecial chemical inside it instantly goes odorless and turns solid. Each one can be used more than one time or until it's filled. No mess, No odors, and easy to place into a ziploc bag until you get near a trash can to throw it away. Found on Amazon.com in various sizes packs. 18 adult size pack sells for $24 dollars or at Drugstore.com about same price with free shipping. Small box of 3 with 2 adult and one child size in it for $4- $5 dollars sold at Bed Bath and Beyond and some outdoor stores like Handers and others. The big pack can only be bought on line. Outstanding reviews on them. Thought this information will certainly help lady drivers so they won't have to leave their trucks at night to use a restroom. Best investment I have ever made for convenience and safety purposes.

Awesome! Thank you!!

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
