Orentation and Trainer Time

Hey TD, and idea.
Hang out with him when he goes into a store in the Truck Stops. See what kind of 'toys' he likes/looks at.
Then pick him up a going away present and leave it on his seat when you get off his truck....

Now to each his own - I would almost think of it as a very soft oatmeal cookie to enjoy in the morning. I also like cold/ice coffee too

 

Now the cold coffee I agree on...

...since I am going on the road soon, maybe I should do some research. **runs to kitchen**

 

Or ask drivers that almost finished culinary school. + hums innocently +

 

Just making sure, but before you get off his truck you should atleast get him a lil something, following what was mentioned earlier tool around with him in the TS's and figure out what he likes, needs or is lacking that could make his day a bit easier.

 

Actually I still make it that way while at home. It isn't cold, just room temperature. It's really good with honey on it too! Maple syrup if your a high roller! I used to eat the Chunky soup right out of the can while driving. Refried beans also. I pretty much ate everything room temperature so I could keep on rolling. I could do cereal too in those Solo cups. Another thing that is good and also good for you is I would put "fat free" dressing in one Solo cup and broccoli and carrots in another cup and just dip my veggies in the dressing and eat em up! You can buy the cooked chicken in a bag just like the tuna fish. Just open the bag, squirt a little mayo and hot sauce in there, then you just squish the bag around to mix it all together and walla! My wife used to buy the soft tortilla shells and make all kind of roll-ups with them. Even P-butter and jelly! We used to go overboard on the Avocado's! Get some nice ripe ones cut them in half, pop the seed out, sprinkle with salt and scoop and eat while you drive. Ummmm, making my mouth water!

 

Hello all I have been watching this thread for a while now and it has inspired me to start my own. I am us xpress in orientation but I will keep it going throughout training if you want to follow here is the link http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...5-2010-orientation-and-otr-training-time.html
Good luck TD.
