Portable Urinal for Truckers

Pit Stop Portable UrinalThe Pit Stop is billed as the first male and female friendly urinal system designed for truckers on the go.

The product's press release provides us with some insight on trucker life...
Pit Stop helps keep the environment clean, saving taxpayers a fortune on roadside cleanup. Since urine bottles are considered a biohazard, expensive hazmat teams are required for cleanup, instead of standard roadside cleanup crews.
The receptacle on Pit Stop is supposed to be mounted to the wall near the trucker's sleeper bunk. However, the makers of Pit Stop says that they're committed to helping truckers eliminate unplanned stops. So, are truckers supposed to use this while driving, or what?

Does this mean truckers drive with their pants down?

  • Yes, truckers drive with their pants down. Who's gonna see? We watch porn on portable DVD players at the same time we're peeing into this contraption, talking on the CB, and shifting gears. Try that, you friggin' cell phone users!

  • The road-keeping crews already have problems with this kind of thing -- re-used 2-litre pop bottles filled with urine, discarded roadside and getting hit by the lawnmowers...

  • A web site called WWW.TRUCKER-P.COM/TRUCKER.HTM has addressed the problem of truckers dangerously urinating directly into one gallon plastic bottles while driving at speed on our highways and then improperly disposing of the bottles at rest stops or just tossing them into out truck widows.

    The whole TRUCKER-P concept is based on hospital proven devices: male condom catheters, lengths of tubing , connectors and urine holding bags of various sizes.

    The danger for the truck driver peeing in a plastic bottle, after having pulled his pants down to reach his penis and stuff it in the bottle opening, while running down the road at 60 MPH, is eliminated. Using TRUCKER-P equipment, the truck driver would attach a male condom catheter before starting out so this is already in place when he wants to urinate. The catheter is attached to a tube that runs down to a large holding bag on the floor. The whole thing is convenient, easy and minimizes a potentially dangerous situation.

    As the holding bag costs about $10.00, the driver will not be pitching the bag, as he would an old used gallon milk bottle, out the truck window. One bit of magic here would be to enlist the trucking companys to get involved with this program. I think this whole problem should rest with the trucking companies who have the power to change the drivers habits.

  • I always drive my rig bottomless, with only a t-shirt and shoes on. That's kind of my thing... This contraption has been a godsend for me as I just pop my cock into it and go. Since it holds soo much I don't have to stop and empty it that often and there is no smell or anthing whatsoever! It's a must have for any long-distance drivers, male or female! They might ought to make the whole a little bigger but that is just a thought. Happy trucking/driving!

  • The fact that a minority of truckers see fit to cause problems for the rest of us is a scourge on the industry. This is the first I've seen of this product and I may invest in one. Right now I use a "Little John" which was designed for camping, which I purchased at a major outdoor equipment store. I also converted a large laundry detergent bottle with a wide opening for urine storage. Before using, I fill it with a small amount of water then drop in a "Bio Blue" packet to treat it. To dispose of it, I just carry it into a truckstop when I go to shower and flush it down the toilet. The "Bio Blue" keeps it from stinking. Of course, you can also invest in a porta-potty to do the same thing but I usually only carry mine if the wife comes with me. If I'm stuck somewhere and need to go number 2, I carry "Double Doodie" toilet waste bags for an emergency. The already have the chemical in them and can be disposed of in the trash without causing anybody any grief.

  • Heck! I never bothered putting pants on. A toga is cooler and much more convenient while doubling as emergency ass wipe paper. Camp stools make great portable crappers but scrimping to purchase the optional air freshener is deadly.

    What I really miss the most about driving a truck w/a sleeper is the ability to stop most anywhere & whiz or crap.

    Plz keep in mind that whizzing on the side of the road is considered "Indecent Exposure" while crapping there, is considered an "Emergency".

  • What about soldiers who are on long convoys in a combat environment? Can you make a product for that? We can't drive without our pants... we might have to get out and shoot someone... That would be difficult with something attached to our package...

  • Most drivers,both male and female, pull over for such situations. The receptacles are extremely handy for those over nighters when a long walk to the truck stop is too much. Or even worse when safety dictates we park overnight in a business lot.

  • I just slow down, set the cruz, step out on the running boards and let'er go....
