    nuts, beef jerky, bananas, bread and lunch meat for sandwiches (provided you bring a cooler or have one preinstalled), Monster :), sunflower seeds, bottled water, canned ravioli and other foods that can be easily microwaved and truck stops.

    You'll develop your own routine and preferences. I eat out about 50% and look for places other than truck stops to eat. I also make regular Wal-mart stops. I like to keep fresh fruits and veggies, cheese, cereal, yogurt, and always have on hand peanut butter and jelly.

    Yea I eat healthy anyways, I wonder will it be harder to eat healthy while OTR. Also I workout 3 times a week, I hope I be able to find some time to find a gym if possible.

    Hope my trainer lets me use his cooler, while I'm on his truck. I will purchase my own after I upgrade.

    Will it be harder. Yes. Is it possible. Yes.

    Maybe consider going flatbed?

    ya man i workout too. otr and working out with central prob not going to happen at a gym. if you were on a dedicated route where you went the same place and begin to find truck stops with gyms or if you get by a terminal 3 times a week. but otherwise its hard. but trust me working out on your 10 prob wont happen. eating healthy is a little hard too
