LMAO I imagine it has something to do with those 4-8 hour long convoys out in hostile areas...

Under Oregon law, improperly disposing of human waste is a misdemeanor which can carry a fine of up to $250.
Is the urinal tube through the floorboard proper? :-?

The long convoys is what I was thinking of...
4 to 8 Hours?

The longest we did was 24. Was a rough day. 2 hits. Everyone okay tho.

Yup 4 to 8 hours before we would make any kind of stop (we did route clearance/route repair) but yeah some convoys were around 24hrs, most were about 12 to 18 though, with a day off afterwards for recovery while the second team went out.

Ah yes the joys of trucking. As an ex trucker, i can indeed confirm this practice. Id guess only those on long distance, with nights out, as when you wake up at 4 in the morning and the night heaters stopped, in the middle of winter (ive known the ice to be forming on the inside of the windscreen on some really bad nights!) and its perishingly cold, theres no alternative. You just dont have time to grab some gear and get out of the cab!!!

Ive known a few lady drivers, and i hear that a Mcdonalds milkshake/soft drink carton is ideal for similar situations ;D
