    Little boxes of cereal and shelf stable milk single servings.
    Tuna pouches and crackers.
    Protein meal replacement bars.
    Beef jerky.
    Bananas.
    A case of water.
    Fruit.
    Cherry tomatoes and other non-refrigerator veggies.
    Nut mixes.
    Trail mix.
    Pretzels and peanut butter.
    Cans of soup.
    Cup o noodles.
    Dried fruit.
    Granola.


    This is what we have on our truck right now... Plus a fridge full of cold stuff.

    Good luck... Truck stop food is high calorie-low nutritional value and crazy expensive!

    PBJ will probably win out on cheapest/easiest to take. Get a jar of Goobers (it doesn't need refrigeration) and some bread. Get spoons/knives out of the truck stops (wendys has the sturdiest ones :p)

    You'll have a bunch of options when you get your own rig. Ask your trainer when you get one, (I'm a trainer) and it's something I always ask my students about, if they want to go to walmart and get some stuff to eat on. I always advise them of how overpriced the truckstops are; and how fast you can blow your check in their eating every day.

    Sometimes, when they stay at a full service truck stop, a rookie will wander into the place where his trainer told him not to go...the restaurant. Some guy is trying to get started, hasnt seen a paycheck in months, got shuffled around in school, orientation and the trainers truck. If I see them, i will buy them a meal. Especially if they're stuck in that spot all weekend.
