Your eats will depend on your habits. I use to budget $12 per day and most of the time, I was right there. I had coffee and sweetroll in tha a.m. (under $3.00) lunch was usually munchies in the truck, (crackers, can of spaghettios) bought BEFORE I left out of the house, and then the buffet for dinner, or Subway, depending where I bedded down for the night.
I always carried canned goods, crackers etc. plus bottled water. Occasionally, I would buy a loaf of bread and peanut butter/jelly. It does get boring eating all meals in the truck. Some guys carry a small BBQ and use it in the parking lot. Just experiment as you go. Keep a diary for the first month and you will know exactly what you are spending.

Hi there. As my name implies I'm a trainer for a well known trucking company. I train/tell all of my new students that it is better to bring your own food and cook in the truck. Better food. Better value. Better service. I just started using this site so I NEW to here but I have been trucking for about 6 years. Get yourself a good microwwave ( run about $60-$70) for quick stuff. A slow cooker (around $30-$40). for the big stuff that may take a while and maybe a electric frying pan for burgers or hamburger helpers. It really is nice to be driving all day and I have somthing in the slow cooker and smell it as I drive. If needed you may need an inverter for power. Hope that helps. Remember- Be safe, Be good, Be gone
