Im an inventing kind of guy and was actually thinking about making some pre made meals in those lunch box cooker metal containers. They are aluminum (sp) anyways....figured one could make a big huge batch of something and pour it into those containers, freezem and sell em at the truckstops. Would save truckers time and possibly money...and gets them a good homecooked meal. Although Id like to be able to somehow cut down on the sodium as much as possible.

Hi,
I'd love to hear more about how your experiences are going, especially as a vegetarian on the road. I write about food on the road and it's hard to be vegetarian and eat well when you're driving. I can't PM you because I don't post enough, but contact me if you can!

Me, too! I'd love to know how you manage, any good tips you have about where or what to eat (salad gets really boring after a while and you know the vegetable soup is not vegetarian... and if you eat grilled cheese all the time, you're going to have crazy cholesterol...)

When I was in training in Fontana, it appeared to me that while the trainers did try to help out the students, they also seemed to give up after a while. I tried to help someone what to do for backing and was told to stop by a trainer. He just sat there and figured they would learn best if they did it on their own.
Then later on that day, this student who was bawling...I went into a classroom to swipe a toy schneider truck for some hands on visual illustration and got ripped on by one of the instructors...crimeny.
There are good trainers as well as baaaddd!

Niether is "the all knowing" they think (?) they are.
They use intimidation vs teaching...it works...sometimes.

But some of the horror stories I've heard....I guarantee there would be some uncomfortable repercussions!
