How to make sure your Truck Driver eats Healthy


A lack of healthy options coupled with busy driving schedules attribute to the overall poor eating habits of many truck drivers. Learn how you as a wife can help your driver make better, healthier food choices without sacrificing taste while on the road.

 When you are on the computer, search the area your truck driver is headed too, and look for a truck stops and restaurants that offer salad bars that offer an assortment of fresh fruit, vegetables, pasta salad, and more.

 If his only option is fast food, explain to him how to choose better foods for his health, let him know how important it is to eat right and stay healthy while he is over the road. It’s easier for him to do when he is home because you are cooking the food for him, and he will eat whatever you eat; however over the road he will grab what ever is convenient without even thinking about the health benefit. Encourage him to opt for healthier items from the menu. These days, most fast food restaurants offer healthier sides and dishes such as fruit cups, side salads, chili, wraps, and baked potatoes.

 Encourage your Truck driver to avoid ordering any super-sized or giant servings – it only fosters overeating. The regular portions should be enough to fill him up. Explain how eating several smaller meals throughout the day instead of three big ones will keep his metabolism high resulting in increased energy, less hunger and snacking, and more calories burned throughout his day.

 If all fails and this is too much of a hassle for him install a small refrigerator in his cab and stock up on nutritious, fresh food for him. Grocery shopping for healthy meals is not only more nutritious than eating out; it can also be less expensive. Which mean more money returning into the household he will love this idea just tell him it will go towards a trip at the Home depot.

 If he is a stubborn Trucker for 3 nights read this verse while wearing white:

 Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22

 During this time continue to encourage him.


Be Inspired!!!

The Lonely Life Of a Trucker's Wife

People don’t have a clue about being a wife of a trucker. They look at you like you got it made. “As if!” Being a trucker’s wife is a hard job.  Being a trucker’s wife and a mother on top of that is even harder. Not only do the wife have to muli-task, housework, laundry, run errands, pay the bills, when and if she receives a check from her husband. But, she also has the task of caring for the needs of their children school work, cooking, after school activities. In if she has an outside job Lord help her.

She has to do the oil changes on the cars, any repairs that need to be meet, and let’s not forget about that forest that grows in the front yard yes, “mow the lawn.” She has to be a mom and dad to the children, along with running her husband errands. A trucker wife has to make sure things run as smooth as possible while her better half is on the road. A trucker’s wife dream of a fairy tale marri
