    These guys are truck drivers last thing you wanna give them is something healthy.Besides they're going to eat junk reguardless so why not give them homemade junk.

    Another thing I know they'll like is a veggie and meat and cheese platter with dip for the veggies.

    I think both jerky and brownies would be a great start and appreciated ... Well by most.

    And fruits and nuts would be healthy too.
    If you have a dehydrater for jerky maybe make some dehydrated fruits? Mix with nuts.

    I don't know what they have in their trucks but my wife will can homemade food like soups, stews, etc... Then when I want a "homemade meal" I just open a pint and microwave it... I assume a driver could heat it up in a 12v cooker too.

    (Return the glass pint/quart jar for refill... LOL)

    Such a great idea to do for your Drivers!!!

    Some of these guys probably has a health conscious wife that eats nothing but wheat germ soy bean crap they need to eat something they actually like because they work hard so I say feed them all junk food.

    Wow, jump on someone coming here for simple suggestions... Who cares what they start with... Support the idea even if you would prefer something different. Maybe just suggest "something healthy".... Geesh

    Microwave ? Did you say microwave? Why do you think the microwave nickname is "Nuke" ? Microwave kills any nourishment that your food would have. Your basically eating just a filler with nothing, no nutrition .
