TRUCKERS DIAPER-WEARING ? * Why they'ld be doing this ?
* Really: I’ve yet to meet a diaper-wearing trucker. But ... How can I be sure?
... There’s an article making the rounds this month, as much for its unusual source as for what it contains. Cosmopolitan, the women’s magazine that’s better known for its ‘10 Great Ways to Improve Your Sex Life’-type articles, featured the perspective of Arielle Pardes, a former professional driver... There in the article that caused me to do a double take. None more so than this one: “You learn to get by on a shower a few times a week (or less) and hold your bladder for as long as possible, because every minute you’re stopped at a rest stop is lost income. Some truck drivers even wear diapers to avoid stopping at bathrooms – not kidding” ... That far-fetched line alone probably chased off many more potential recruits from this industry than the rest of it could have drawn in... But did they really do that? ... In 15 years of covering this industry and interacting daily with professional drivers, I’ve yet to meet a diaper-wearing trucker... How can I be sure? Well, true, I’ve never asked, but let’s call it a pretty good hunch... Yes, bathrooms are few and far between and stopping for breaks will cost you a couple bucks when paid by the mile, but if you need to wear a diaper to make money in this business then you probably need to ask yourself some questions about who you’re working for and why you’re doing this... Hey, there has never been more information and resources available for professional drivers who want to lead a healthy lifestyle!...
