    Truck refrigerators don't hold very much and canned goods are fine but get old after a while. Sometimes you just gotta take what's at the truck stop wherever you happen to stop, especially if you are up against the clock and gotta drop something off or pick something up.

    It sounds easy until you gotta start doing it.

    The snow has little to do with only two of you being there. You need to start going high Mass anyway.

    I will have to agree with you on that. I have eaten enough canned food that I practically eat out of a can nowacays but it does get old at times. Although roast beef hash sounds mighty good right now.

    Yep! You can only stomach Raviolli so many times until you say, alright what does this truck stop have? Ahh ####, nasty frozen hamburgers only. It's 2AM and the subway is closed and no corn dogs either.

    You will be able to stop occasionally for good food. But sometimes it's hard to get your truck into the parking lot, if not impossible. Not every company will let you drop your trailer somewhere and do grocery shopping. Also a lot of truck stops are way out far from urban areas. You MIGHT be able to park along the curb and walk into a grocery store with your hazards on, but then you might still get a parking ticket.

    Usually the refrigerators are for holding snacks and fruit and veggies, but the main course meals are harder to do.
