You can buy a portable potty called a Luggable Loo....5 gallon bucket with a snap on toilet seat. I get pine pellet horse bedding and use it with 4 gallon trash bags. I have had to use it in an emergency (stomach upset) and didn't want to get out of my truck after dark. The fact that it has a lid that closes helps contain the smell until the bag can be changed out. Plastic grocery bags doubled up come in handy in an emergency too. LOL

what is wrong about my town man? lol yeah hard to find a pace to stop... but there is a new love on I 94 and a 159th st and a new truck stop on a 127th and western ave off I 57

I'm sorry. I served on Navy ships, sitting at GQ for hours, been driving 2+ years now and never once have I had this problem. Go when you can, even if you're not sure. Heck, yesterday I drove 7hrs 20min without stopping. And my wife says I have a small bladder.

I'm not saying there aren't times I really gotta go, but you'd be amazed at how frequently you pass rest areas and/or exits with truck stops. I-10 in Florida has 'em about every 25-30 miles. Ohio is pretty good too. Go before you leave the shipper , even if you went when you got there.

You'll also learn places (like Atlanta) where you should stop well before you get there 'cause there's always drama around Atlanta. Chicago you won't wanna need to stop.

Plan accordingly.

Shipper:

The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.

Personally, I would highly recommend you NOT actually take a dump while actually driving, no matter the container or method employed. Thought I'd throw that out there since that is how the OP was worded.

Some of the ports pots have cartridges and turn everything to a gel, trapping the waste and smell. By pricey.

Composting toilets are all the eco rage in newer motorhomes.
