I know a lot of truckers use bottles, jugs, etc for urine. But how do yall handle when u gotta pinch a log and can't get to a gas station in time?

After doing some googling I learned that there's such a thing as small portable toilets that truckers can purchase on Amazon. Some are literally 5 gallon buckets with a removable seat attached, and others are a toilet seat with a container underneath it. Pretty neat with all the different variations.

But I will be doing basically 5 months of OTR training with Wilson. Most of it is driving with a trainer and the final weeks will be team driving with a fellow trainee and after that I'm finally driving by myself.

So when I get to the point where I'm driving by myself, and I decide to purchase a small portable toilet, amazon shopping is going to be a little complicated because I'm going to have to determine a delivery address and I'm gonna be on the road. I could make my family's address a delivery location and just make a road trip out of picking up the seat. I could probably even have it delivered to the Wilson Logistics' location in MO where I'll be staying during the first part of my training.

But is there such a thing as a physical place I can purchase trucker supplies like a small portable toilet on the road? Only thing I can think of is truck stops but I've never seen portable toilets for sale at a flying J lol.

OTR:

Over The Road

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.

Paul,

Amazon has lockers all around the country and at some truckstops too. If you know where you would be going you can place an order and have it sent to the locker.

Wilson should be able to get you through the terminal. Prime has mailboxes we can rent, i am sure wilson does also.

U can buy a rubbermade container with a lid for $10 in walmart, black trash bags scented with febreze and kitty litter.

Pine pellets take the smell away and urine turns it to saw dust.

U can usually get one of these at walmart.. but definitely at a pet store

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

You can buy a porta potty at most Walmarts. Also you may find them at Home Depot and camping stores. I bought one that folded up. A 5 gallon bucket with a pool noodle, cut to size and slit, makes a cushion to sit on. Heavy duty trash bags to contain things. I have a friend who uses a 3 gallon bucket because it fit under the bunk.
