Most truck accessible gas stations have a microwave, which opens up your options to any and all leftovers.
to keep sandwiches more interesting switch up the cheese, toppings, and condiments. -
Boredom is a good way to not gain weight. A sandwich you make from items bought at a grocery store and some water is plenty and cheap.77fib77 and Crude Truckin' Thank this.

Stock up on non-refrigerated microwave foods from Walmart or some other grocery store.
Can use the microwaves in the various truck stops for free.OldeSkool Thanks this. -
Some good ideas here,It seems some eat like there not going home at the end of the day.The protein bars tho in most cases really aren’t that good for you over the years companies have learned if they put protein on the packaging people think it’s healthy.Me personally I will bring a couple sandwiches but I work at pilot flying j and coffee is free or fountain drinks also get a pretty good discount at subway. I did food service years ago and all my stops would offer free meals but with 10 to 12 stops I would only eat once for lunch.So it could depend on where you are working as lunch goes
stacks Thanks this. -
Things like Compleats, a microwave meal that needs no refrigeration contain massive amounts of salt. So I'd avoid more than 1 such meal per week.

Get over it, put yor big boy pants on. We have a requirment to take a 30 break (Lunch) since you have to take it, when you get into your own ride you can handle it how ever you want.
In the mean time buckup, butterup, buy a hankie.Last edited: Sep 1, 2025

Don't get upset with @Powder Joints; he's a pretty decent guy with lots of experience.
For some reason he's real grouchy every 28 days.austinmike, Numb and Star Rider Thank this. -
If there just in training and the worst complaint is the trainer takes his 30 somewhere there is food, you can always bring your own, thats all. Different generation of driver. I tell my son that he and his fellow company drivers cry about things that do not matter, like who gets what load. Told him the same advice I give to my own son.TripleSix, Walk Among Us, Numb and 2 others Thank this.
