I have been driving for 5 years in the oil field so from bad sleep and eating what I could because I was running mad hours.... I have gained like 75 pounds so I weigh around 300 pounds and that's not good. Now I am running for a regional /OTR company so I get sleep at night or day. I need help or advice on what I should keep in truck to eat and snack on. I do not have a refrigerator or cooler yet so it might make things harder.... But any advice is grateful and appreciated. I just don't know what is good foods and bad but I know candy and fast food is bad stuff and I seldom drink coffee but I do drink one or 2 soda a day.

While I have not started trucking just yet, I saw your post and wanted share my plans, as it may help you.

I will be using a foldable E-bike on my off day to go to a grocery store or Walmart to load up on healthy cheap foods.

While I certainly love the idea of eating out everyday, and getting cheese sticks, corndogs, and fries I certainly don't want cardiac arrest at age 30. A foldable E-bike allows me easy quick transportation to a store for cheap healthy foods, and also solves the problem of smaller parking lots. Also, I have struggled with weight for years. 397 lbs working with McDonald's to 160lbs after back to 240 lbs currently (my height being 5'8'') making me overweight, as a trucker cool-sculpting is easily affordable. It's something I'll be doing, because you are able to do the sessions in increments, and the killed fat cells turn to Protien and energy instead of being removed like in liposuction. That's what I'm going to be doing, if that helps any?

Regional:

Regional Route

Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
