I imagine that sitting in the same position for eight hours at a stretch can't do anything good for the bowel health of truckers. Humans didn't evolve to deal well with being motionless for so long, and moving around does play some role in the movement of food through the gut.
From what I understand, the diet of most long-distance truckers is pretty bad, and that can't help either.
Also, if you spend your entire working day on your own, there's a tendency to let your standards slip. I can see how cutting loose with a huge fart can become just a mildly diverting moment in a very boring day, and that sort of thing can easily become a habit.
