    I tend to run the opposite hours as most. I like to get started between 23:00-01:00am. That way I'm parked with my 600 to 650 miles by around 13:00. So parking is not an issue, I literally have the pick of the lot. It does not matter where I decide to park because everyone else is running still.

    It's a much cleaner/safer issue to deal with if you keep the #1 & #2 completely separate. You should be showering daily or every other day at a truck stop or hotel. Every truck stop and rest area and many customers have bathrooms. The waste all needs to eventually get to a toilet. If it goes anywhere else you are a terrible human and nobody wants you around the industry, IMO. Imagine your neighbors using your property (yard, trash can, etc) for their toilet. How often are you happy with them doing that? Every place you go with a truck is somebody's property. Nobody wants your waste on their property, even if nobody sees you dumping it. You can dump any container you plan on using, pick wisely not just what you find within arms reach in an emergency, into the toilet next time you shower. Then you can clean out that container and reuse it or throw it in the dumpster if it's CLEAN AND EMPTY. One of the quickest ways to get less truck parking spaces is when the property owner finds human waste on his property. I'd burn the place down if it was my property. We are expected to behave better than wild animals.

    How long are you comfortable with having a used portable toilet riding around in your truck? How much does it cost? How much room does it take up? Check on YouTube for semi-truck, van life, car camping ideas.

    To the original poster, some of the replies in this thread are joking around. So be careful.

    Wow! I just realized I could make an enormous amount of money in ad revenue if I actually had the gonads to do that. Because the other dumb humans would actually click on it just to see it, and I could easily get a million views for that as gross as it is. Truckers alone would voice every horrible objection they could at it, but you know most would still click on it to see it for themselves. I am sure there is some type of content restriction against it, but you know if there wasn’t it would get a bazillion views. Spread it out on TikTok and the like, and it would be guaranteed passive income for simply taking a poo out the window. Not sure if that speaks volumes to the other humans or what I really think of the majority of them.
