How do you know that every piss bottle came from a trucker??
Hey, you have to pay somehow for that DUI.... :lol: :lol:


Look. you can use a gallon jug, put a lid on it and pour it down a urinal at a rest area or truck stop then rinse it out. it's not that difficult.

Apparently, you've never heard the adage "You get what you pay for".

Apparently, you've never heard the adage "You get what you pay for".
People are people no matter what you pay them.

My old company paid (I said paid because they are now cutting pay) any average of $70,000 a year. Some drivers made as high as $90,000+, and the low end for drivers who didn’t like to work was near $60,000.

One of the biggest problems they had was drivers and their damn pee cups and bottles. There were a few that had a gallon jug in the closet. One truck had 3 gallons. The trashcans in the truck lot were nasty because drivers threw their full bottles and cups in them. It was so bad that the company said they would fire anyone caught throwing a full cup in the trashcans.
Never can I figure out why drivers can’t dump them first!


Of course needing drivers they never did fire anyone. And now that they are cutting pay many drivers are leaving the company to be replaced with drivers whose trucks smell like a dirty restroom.

How a driver is paid or treated is no excuse. Pigs are pigs and this industry is overrun by them.

What I can never figure out is driver’s who throw or set their bottles out right there in the middle of a truck stop parking lot.
Gee, even my dog wouldn't sleep anywhere near where he pees.

And for you folks who believe the ‘Good Old Days Of Trucking’ myth.
When I worked on trucks back in the 70’s while I was in High School. It was nothing to find pee cups and bottles inside of trucks. And we gofers had to be careful when we dumped the trashcans.
I’ll never forget a driver that everyone called Murphy.
That sumbich peed on the floor.

That truck was a flippin mess. I remember when they fired him because he kept screwing up his deliveries.
We stripped the inside of the truck to clean it.
The gross thing was the used condoms under his bedding.

Today is not the history of trucking!

In reference to the piss bottles, its NOT just truckers that do this. Between Seligman and Kingman, Az there are 4-5 off/on ramps that are not "adopted" and they are covered in trash. I try and stop every day to pick up a walmart bag worth before hitting our yard, where I throw it away. I have seen 4 wheelers pull up and drop bags of trash, while I'm picking up. I usually walk over, pick up the bag(s) and knock on the drivers window, hand the bag back and tell them to stop in Kingman at a gas station (more than likely they will anyway) and throw it away there, NOT ON MY HIGHWAY. Do they do this? You ought to see some of the embarresed looks I get.
