A lot of the truck stops carry fresh fruit and veggies in a togo cup. It will be limited, watermelon, strawberries, pineapple then of course apples, oranges and bananas. That ought to make a good shoot my. This is Loves selection just about year round .

Trucker path has Walmart locations. The majority are right off the interstate and are big rig accessable.
I usually use the satellite view. To be sure. Have a half dozen locations saved in my GPS. Those are my go to locations. Usually stopping once a week or as needed.
Just my opinion.MidWest_MacDaddy and Jarhed1964 Thank this. -
What Wasted Thyme said.
Once a week Walmart stops for your 30 minute break will do wonders for your health and wallet. I have a microwave, electric skillet, Burton stove, and a 14" charcoal grill, and a coffee maker. So many ways to keep from wasting money on unhealthy truckstop junk.MidWest_MacDaddy and Wasted Thyme Thank this. -

Just curious. Does anyone prep meals at home and vac/freeze them?
I've been trying this and have been pretty successful. I bought a 22 inch Blackstone griddle and set it up at home.
I usually buy a dozen steaks of various types, boneless skinless chicken breast/thighs and pork chop/steaks. I grill them up on the griddle, let them cool. I debone the pork chops/steaks and vacuum seal everything. in 4-6oz serving sizes. Then I stick them in the freezer until it's time to head back out.
I have an Alpicool 60qt fridge/freezer I just use a freezer. I stock that up and put that on the top bunk. Once I'm out on the road, I take 2 or 3 frozen packs and toss them in the truck fridge to thaw. I have a small butane stove and a pan that I warm up my meat with and I also have a microwave but rarely use it. Sometimes, I just eat them cold. Then I just have to stop at WM for fresh veggies and water. I usually stay out 3 weeks and sometimes 4. I find that about 25lbs of mixed meats last me at least 3 weeks
The Alpicool runs on 12vdc or 120vAC. it only pulls 45 watts so can be used with the 300w inverters or just plug it onto a power port. Bought it on Amazon. bit pricey but the savings from not eating in truckstops pays for it on 3 months...lol
Anyway, Just curious if anyone does the same thingJarhed1964 Thanks this. -
She will cook up a number of different recipes up and use the smaller pint jars for me. I’ll grab several when leaving the house and use a plastic case from Walmart to store them which keeps them from hitting each other.
Then when I’m OTR I can grab a single serve pint and microwave it and have a home made meal right in the Truck.Jarhed1964 and TruckerLlew Thank this. -
