How to eat healthy out on the road?

And drivers wonder why a lot of us are looked at as scum. I was at the ta in Antioch tn a couple of weeks ago and there was a piss bottle on top of the fuel pump and a gallon jug full sitting by the pump.

Yup I see them everywhere on the parking areas and ramps in WY. They even had a trash can in one of the parking areas and the bottles were still on the ground. That's why there's no parking on ramps or you'll get a ticket. Really, how hard is it to throw it in the trash can.

 

Personally, I've never felt the need to use a piss bottle. Why not just use a regular johnny at the rest area? Is it because you are afraid of losing 10-15 minutes in order to do a "leg shaker"? Taking a 10-15 minute break refreshes me and I'm more alert for the next 2-5 hours of driving. I can see needing to use a piss bottle if you are flying a small airplane, but in a truck? Really!?

 

I cook 90% of my food....and rarely eat at the truck stops or fast food joints.
Get a small propane stove from Walmart. They are cheap and easy to use.
The plug in burners are good too...but you can't boil water with em.
Use both if you want....but avoid eating at truck stops !!

 

If you are delivering or loading near a local store and you know it is going to be more than an hour or three, ask the shipping boss if you can unhook from the trailer to run into town for supplies.

When I delivered to walmart distribution centers and a few other places, it was required that we unhooked.

Plus a bobtail is much easier to maneuver in them little towns, and in the truck blocked parking lots of walmart, it is easier to find a spot to park the bobtail in the back of the store, in the receiving area.

It isnt about where you eat, it is more about what you eat. I eat a buffet everytime I can and instead of filling a plate with mashed potatoes then drowning it in gravy I have a salad, whatever vegetables they have and a small portion of the meat. If they dont have a buffet then almost everwhere has some sort of grilled chicken or fish.

 

That works in favor of a diet, but not too budget minded.
