Easy, Wallet-Friendly Recipes for Truck Drivers

It's tough for truck drivers to find good food that doesn't cost too much. Eating at places along the way can quickly eat up your money. And eating the same old snacks? That gets boring real fast.

Why not make your own meals right in your truck? Bring a slow cooker with you. You can either get one that plugs into your truck, or use an adapter. A small slow cooker is just right for making one or two meals at a time.

If it gets really cold outside, or you find yourself stuck somewhere, these awesome slow cooker recipes can make you feel right at home.
