Stocking Your Pantry

 Stocking your food pantry will depend on your own personal tastes. It is difficult to maintain a semi-healthy diet while OTR. Many times you will be overnighting in rest areas or in a customer's parking lot and will need to be able to put together a meal. Having a small variety of canned goods will allow you to put together something quickly with minimal clean-up.

Coffee

Peanut Butter

Canned chicken or ham
