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.
Salt and Pepper
Coffee
Peanut Butter
Canned chicken or ham
can be added to many soups, etc. to make a more filling meal
Soup or chili
Snacks -
Trail mixes
Beef jerky
Nuts
Peanut butter crackers
Microwaveable popcorn
Water - bottles and a few one gallon jugs
Gatorade or some type of sport drink to replenish electrolytes
Honey - great in tea if you prefer it to coffee, also has many soothing properties if you should have a cold or scratchy throat
