Questions about life on the road - eating healthy

Just say no. Otherwise there are plenty of threads on this very subject elsewhere in the forum

 

Can you cook a little? If so, go with a company that has inverters or apu. This way you can have refrigerator and cook a few meals.
Abilene, Freymiller, Magnum Ltd. has all or some of those items.
All 3 of those hire new cdl grads.

 

I prepare a lot of food before hitting the road, then store in my fridge. ie. grilled chicken breasts, burritos, chopped vegetables and spinach to make easy salads...all do able if you think ahead. Bobtailing to a grocery store from a truck stop to replenish items is also an option depending on what's needed/how long you stay out.

 

If you have a truck with a fridge and regular car DC outlet, you can save money by getting one of those lunchbox stoves they sell at truck stops. The truck I drove before the T680 I'm in now didn't have an inverter, but I was still able to cook meals. Average cost for dinner was about $4 or less.

 

No clean bathrooms everywhere

 

i watch this video about two times before I took my CDL written test

 

It's good you're thinking about that stuff now to plan ahead, because it can be a real shock trying to eat decent food on the road when you are first getting started.

Every 400 pound driver started out as a 300 pounder, and every 300 pound driver began his career around 200 pounds. Some drivers can barely get in and out of their trucks.

@Straight Stacks does it right. Eat real food. Put in a little work ahead of time to eat healthy, and you'll not only feel better and look better--you'll also save a ton of money.

 

Get an electric cooler and either microwave or 12 volt DC Oven. Eat the groceries you buy in grocery stores and eat out of the truck all week. You can spend about 1/3 compared to eating every meal served by a waitress. You can eat at the customer or when parked, wherever that is.

 

I can make 6 sloppy joe sandwiches in my truck for under $13
