RE: bathroom question: there is a product called "TravelJohn" that is
an excellent "bucket", if you Google: TravelJohn, there is a description
on their website. This is no joke. I get mine at the Pilot's shop at a
local small airport.

 

I've heard of them.. even seen them. But the thought of having it sitting in the middle of the floor in my sleeper gets to me. If I had someplace to hide it maybe. But at any rate it don't do me no good tonight... lol

 

get a very small trash can - double bag it - tie it up tight when finished and throw the bag away in the morning. As long as you tie it good ... there's no need to worry about spills or smell. Then use the trash can for daily trash. A lot of lady drivers do this all the time. Keep yourself safe and stay inside your truck.

 

First of all... CONGRATULATIONS on finding a place to park at the T/A. Of course, it may be a bit easier to find one there than the Pilot.

You'll most likely survive the night there. Even a couple of nights. As they said, lock your doors and stay in the bunk. Did you get lucky enough to find a place near the building or did you have to park back in the "party row"? If you're in back now, see if you can move up front in the morning when spaces open up. You'll most likely just set the brakes in your new space and get a message to pick up a load. Remember that spray bottle I talked about on another thread? Mostly water, and a little soap. (Ever get shampoo in your eyes in the shower?) But, me personally, I'd be shopping for another company.

 

Just curious, maybe I missed this on another 1 of your posts, but what company do you work for?

 

Small company out of Maumee Ohio called Try Hours

 

There is a small Love's on 45 across from the weight stations, between 273 and 271. I stayed there two nights ago, and didn't see anything like the 470 Lancaster stuff going on.

 

I don't know what a TravelJohn is, but I'll Google and find out. I need to find a product I saw in a catalogue years ago for women hikers. In the meantime, I have found that a good container is one of those super-large plastic FOLGERS GROUND COFFEE containers. The lid snaps on to hold whatever is inside. Yes, it is a serious problem all right. Also, to be techical for women only -- skirts are definitely easier to handle than trousers. Let's get back to being old-fashioned ladies. Maybe they knew a thing or two!
