Health

Hey, I'm new here, and just recently obtained my CDL not too long ago. A friend of mine and I have decided to team drive and went in halves on a western star and a dry van. I am very health concerned, as I have been most of my life. I am a jogger and will have hand weights in the truck. I do not take partial to fast food, since its not good for you and can really rack up in your pocket book. I wil a fridge, microwave, toaster, and possibly a skillet for meals..

Could anyone give me any advice on good meals to make? Healthy, quick snack and meals, and simple things that will make my life a little easier and clutter free as much as possible. I will have totes for everything, but is there any better suggestions for storage ideas?

The truck has plenty of shelving and floor space, but will also have a yellow lab accompanying us as well, so most things will have to be stored away as much as possible.

Any bit of advice will help, thank you so much, and I just want to say I can't wait to finally sit in the drivers seat this time around! But living area is just as important to me.

Welcome to the forum;-) Wish I could be of help but Im too tired and lazy to cook lol Plus my clothes.and shoes take up all my available space for cooking stuff. PM Special K. She doesnt post on here but she can cook her tail off in the truck. There are aso facebook pages for truckers that have receipes.

Theres alot of cooking you CAN do in the truck.....but it entails having the room to store your supplies (like a fridge), or stopping alot to go to the store. What helped be alot was the Subway sandwich shops that are now going into truck stops...atleast it lets you pick your own stuff....great for me, cuz I won't eat iceberg lettuce....I hauled it alot....after seeing what I saw...I won't eat it. Any hoo......it will come down to keep your fresh stuff fresh....I personally can ALOT....if I can catch it, I'll stuff it in a jar. Soups, stews, gravy, meat, fish, sweet breads, corned beef and cabbage....etc. That might be something worth learning !!!
