/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>14646457
Fat people are so annoying

I've got a few friends who went on to be truckers and I've always wondered about the health aspect of that career. I know some own their own trucks and contract with companies and some use the companies trucks instead.

I've often wondered what sort of kitchen set up would be possible in your own truck. It would basically be a tiny house, right? Micro house? Surely a fridge and a hot plate is doable to make your own food.

>>14646457
Oldschool diners truly are an American treasure. Bless you, filthy trucker anon.

>>14646457
>End of a long night of trucking
>Tired, just want a meal and good company

>>14646457
Very comfy.

>>14646457
>Coasties don't have filthy dive diners with ex-hooters waitress

The only experience I had is waffle house. Mom and pop shops like OP's are hard to find. Waffle house can sometimes be nostalgic and comfy on a good night.

>>14646457
>any diner outside of tristate
>ordering a fucking burger and fries out of the phonebook that is a diner menu
>calling that shit comfy
i think its really just you being depressed from your shit job m8, i bet you thought the $20 blowie from the crackwhore outside the joint was also /comfy/

Im in flyover country and our diners are all turning into dirty dumps

>>14646457
Implying I-5 which runs on the west coast from Canada to Mexico isn't one of the most traveled trucking roads

>>14646501
Most truckers eat out

>>14646558
Please leave your mother out of this >:)

>>14646602
sure, but that's horrible long term, right? Nothing wrong with a cutting board and knife to make a salad every once in a while. Doesn't seem sustainable, is all.

>>14646501
You'd only really have the passenger seat to hold your own stuff though. Rest is for cargo if that's what you're talking about. They'd pretty much have to eat out all the time

>>14646645
Yes, that's why all truckers are obese

>>14646666
Look up a sleeper cab. Some trucks have a little apartment area behind the front seats

>>14646457
>under no circumstance can a person living on the coast drive a car inland and patronize a shithole diner
Yeah nah you're just a fucking loser

>>14646704
Truckers make pretty good money, some are losers though

>>14646501
My friends cousin was a trucker, all the sitting and bad food made sure he was dead before 40

New Jersey has more diners per capita than any state. Anti - coasties BTFO'd.

>>14646795
The meth probably didn't help.

It looks pretty comfy

>>14646816
new jersey is a demi-flyover

>>14646788
I'm not sure if decent pay is worth the trade off of working months at a time sitting in one chair with no breaks and an early grave.

>>14646837
comfy

>>14646837
Americans can't stop to fill up on petrol without eating a full meal

>>14646501
Some truckers are looking into Instant Pots and mini fridge combos because of how versatile those machines have become. Rice cookers are also pretty fantastic when it comes to one-pot cooking/cheap and easy meals. It's definitely possible if you have the space for it.

>>14646982
When you're driving over 8+ hrs a day for a job, yeah.

>>14646837
god the midwest is depressing. no wonder why its filled to the brim with trannies

Fuck you COVID

>>14646846
Most of the times when I see Chester's Chicken advertised it's in the deep hood and usually next to a money-now-pay-later check cashing place on one side and a liquor store on the other.

>>14647181

I've never seen it outside of a gas station or truck stop

I'm from Texas and for lunch they would have chicken fried steak

I know that school cafeteria chicken fried steak doesn't sound too appetizing but they CFS was on par with the rectangle pizza we all had in school in the same sense the CFS at school was god tier

Chester's had that exact same CFS so after a long drive being able to smash a few of those with a mountain of mashed potatoes was amazing

>>14646885
It's a pretty decent gap year gig.
Get out, get around, see things, save up money for a life after.

Only trouble is if you get stuck.
After five years in, you know too much to be allowed to leave without having your brain wiped, and they haven't built a suitable brain degausser yet.

Have an exit strategy.

>>14646688
Had no idea these existed dang. I'd imagine a fridge might be pretty power intensive. Could see having a little hot plate and frying pan in here. Maybe a crock pot stewing all day lol. Toaster oven could work great too

>>14647213
This caucasian specimen, identified as female, appears to have been precisely constructed for which to service large members of the black variety.

>>14647304
Nicer companies order trucks with factory installed fridges.
The vibration and dust will kill most inexpensive fridges.
A high power inverter (hardwired, not lighter socket) is required for running any cooking appliances.
Shitty companies will not allow them to be installed; nicer companies may already have them installed.
Figure a forman type contact grill and something else; don't overlook an electric lunchbox.

>>14646788
Truckers make good money because they have no life outside of trucking. Jobs that destroy your health and family life that pay a little better than an entry level office job aren't good jobs.

I know more people that have destroyed their lives trucking than people who are happy.

>>14647217
nah know a bunch of furry tranny ones from the rural snow nigger parts

>>14647461
That is why the smarter ones run their 5 years, pay the debts down to reasonable, and go find a home-daily gig or honest work.

Way too many truckers I know got into it because their life was already shit; child support and alimony, and getting evicted.
Got a new job and a place to sleep and away from all that worry.

Although OP makes a semivalid point, it's not difficult to find grubby diners on the coast, at least on the east coast.

However, pic related you just don't find inland. I got one sitting in the middle of nowhere on a godforsaken rural highway in the next town over to the west, and another one in the next town to the south.

>>14646457
There are places like this in cities too, truckers drive thru after all.

>>14647490
You're right; if you get started young, do it for a few years and put away a lot of cash, then quit it's probably fine.

>>14647612
Their gyro omelette is some of the most life-giving food I've ever had

Really good dispensary across 26 there, too. Diablo's as been in the news for their drive-thru strippers, but nothing will beat Acropolis for me

On one of my friends who didn't finish high school is a trucker. He has an ex wife who stole like $100k from him and he let her get away with it.

During the lockdowns he was suddenly posting all over facebook and it was all memes about how nice it must be to not be an essential worker but sadly he has to risk his health and that of his family because how important he is. He bought himself a fucking hero t-shirt

Also because this is /ck/ he eats a truckstops. I imagine these days they all sit around bantering about how society owes them

>>14646457
>Coasties will never know this feeling.
yeah, it sucks ever since those coastal elites banned all trucking

There was a thread here maybe a year or two ago from a trucker looking into using an instapot to make some meals on the go. Poor dude

>>14647304
some of these are pretty comfy

>>14648326
here's another similar one. I really like RVs and trailers and want one finished like a nice boat some day. I like how nicely designed the interiors of boats can be like everything has a place. If I could have anything I'd have one set up like the enterprise or some other space ship where stuff stores in wall panels and things seem well thought out

>>14647772

The fact that you use this word means you've never done 12 hours driving in one day. Probably more like fewer than 3 or 4, really.

>>14648375
12 hours driving doesn't even get me out of my state ya silly cunt

>>14648375
Trucking in Europe is mostly done by polish and ruskies, that drive down wages across the vast region to almost minimum wage tiers. Trucking in USA sounds like a dream. Jelly

>>14646846
Is it any good?

>>14648388
Alaska?
If you say Texas you're a lying cunt.

i cant imagine trucking. i drove 15 hours along the east coast once and while it was really cool to be exposed to different sights and areas, it also got so fucking boring. by hour 6 i was completely tired of listening to music and by hour 10 podcasts werent doing it for me either. those last five hours were fucking hell. absolute hell, and i just wanted it to end so badly.

stopped at an amish gas station and ate some funny brownies in silent hill though so that was cool

>>14649466
You have to really enjoy, or just completely not mind, driving in order to become a trucker. That, or have access to a state or vast reserve of inner zen. Everything else you can do while driving is just icing on the cake.

>>14649850
Exactly.
Find peace in the hours of monotony that will carry you through the moments of terror.
You home for the weekend?
I got screwed up due to a late pickup and have to see it through over a 34 while out.

>american "education"

>>14649875
I remember one time an am*rilard was trying to explain to me how america was the only country on earth with both national and regional laws which is why america can't have education or some shit, and he literally could not wrap his mind around the fact that there actually are "states" in other countries besides am*rica

>>14649883
So you didn't understand what they were trying to convey to you and that's them being dumb?

>>14649887
am*rican '''''education''''' at work

>>14649893
not him but you literally said "or some shit" meaning you didn't quite understand what he was saying to you.

>>14649850
I love driving and have contemplated being a semi driver just to spend days on the freeway. I love radio and audio books and podcasts too. The only thing that holds me back from making it a career is future job security seems weak and I've got a minor infraction in my driving record

>>14649994
> The only thing that holds me back from making it a career is future job security seems weak
Anon.
Listen to me closely.
There will literally never stop being trucking jobs until the infrastructure for building, fueling, and maintaining trucks stop. People and companies are always going to need resources. What's the most efficient way to get a large amount of goods transported from one far away(whether that's 30 miles or 1000) area inland to another?
A truck. If you think the future prospects for trucking seems weak then you think the future of companies making bulk orders on items is gone. Supplies will always need to be transported, even in a time of war.
>and I've got a minor infraction in my driving record
Call up a company, tell them what you have on your driving record, and ask them if they've ever hired people with whatever infraction you got. Or go to your local DMV and get a booklet on the requirements to obtain a CDL.

>>14646457
that sounds absolutely awful

>>14650044
What about self driving trucks?

>>14650044
Self-driving trucks will be a reality within our lifetime. Maybe not within this decade or even the next one, but a young guy trying to get into trucking now will eventually find himself out of a job when he's in his 40's-50's.

>>14646457
>End of a long night of fucking
>Tired, just want a meal and snuggle
>Enter my wife again
>Greeted by the scent of vagina oil and the sight of dilapidated labia

>Order her to take my hotdog
>Flickering lights and poor hygiene add to the atmosphere
>Rant to her about how she drained my semen as a fucker
>She pretends to care

>>14650057
Very expensive. Not worth the cost for most companies. Sure, it'd appear to be a bargain to get a self-driving truck on paper instead of hiring a worker, but think for a moment how that self-driving program would get around. Would it say, "Gas station attendant: Please refuel me"? No. You'd also have to have people monitoring the truck 24/7 while it's driving in case of any fuckups, a crew to respond to any hiccups or fuckups to send out, in addition to a machine just plain not navigating the road as well as people do, because people understand how people drive. Machines do not very well. Also, they've been saying self-driving cars will be a reality since 2004. Google is still the only company that's produced self-driving cars and used them for any sort of business purposes, and those have a bad habit of getting wrecked by other people on the road because the programming is far from perfect.
>>14650061
Of course they will. Until skynet solves logistics forever though, there is an increasing yearly deficit of drivers, which means the demand is greater than the supply. Which means it fucking pays.

>>14647292
unironically great song. still gives me goosebumps. i fucking love old country ghost stories.

>Mom and pop shops like OP's are hard to find
I had one in my city. It was a diner in the middle of a neighborhood run by a family since the 1930s.
It was a place that people could wake up and walk to since it was 2 blocks from their house and across the street from their kid's school.
It was about the comfiest place I ever ate. I loved it.

Then Guy Fierri showed up and featured it on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.
It immediately got so popular that wait times were hours long, so they opened a second location. Then a third. Then a fourth....
A few years back they were bought by the investment company that owns Carrabba's. They have over 60 locations across the country now.

I want to leave Flavortown.

>>14650124
>40%
it's 25% here in Pennsylvania.

>>14650080
Alright I'll keep that in mind. My only infraction was a talking on cell phone in California but I'm gonna blast off from this gay ass state anyways and set up shop in another place far, far away. In a place that doesn't have draconian laws and regs.

>>14650169
God bless you anon, just don't vote democrat wherever you go. I know you probably won't, being on 4chan, but I have to say that because you're from California. You understand. I hope you make it in life, I really do.

>>14650362

>>14649994
It's not awful.
Basically if you're 23+yo, can pass a drug test, and the violations on your record aren't "too bad" (speeding isn't more than 14mph over, no DUI, been at least a year), you've got a good shot at being approved by insurance.
Have an exit strategy.
A lot of guys I know basically did the truck thing while doing online degrees (reefer trucks and lumper delays give you some sitting around time), and used it as a way to live cheap while bettering themselves and came out ahead.
A lot of other guys I know are now trucking part time (3-4 days a week year round, or seasonal), and working their own unrelated business in their off time.

>>14650102
>stuff should just travel on rail
There aren't a lot of stores with railroad docks.
There aren't a lot of farms with railroad access.
So if you want those potatoes to get from the field in Idaho to the store in anywhere else, it's likely going to move by truck, even if those trucks are between the farm and railhead and the next railhead and the store.

>>14650263
>not picking california

go back

>>14650370
Yeah the part time and running my own business seems legit. My wife won't like me away for long stretches anyways plus I do really want to start my own food related business. Maybe do catering on the side at first and use the free time in the truck to set up customers and ingredient orders.

>>14646457
How fucking late were you retard?

>>14646566
Implying most of the people that live there have traveled long enough on the I-5 to stop and eat at a diner.

>>14647308

get a folding bike and ride it five miles into town so you dont have to eat at shit truck stop diners

take some tinder whore on a bike date, fuck her at her house and then see if she wants to ride in your cab and give you head for a week

>>14650347
They got chitlins tho

propane stove double burner stove in the parking lot. little fold out table, a box of basic cooking ingrediants

You're insufferable.

>>14646457
Exercise can't do anything against a poor diet.
A good diet can't last against a sick mind.

>>14650367
It's a lot of money if you live in mom's garage where you have to absorb some degree of abuse that goes beyond the threshold when compared to the disadvantages of living a trucker's life.

>>14650414
You're probably looking at seasonal.
Catering and trucking both take a ridiculous amount of time, and there are some screwey laws in the US where if you are working two jobs, the number of hours you work your non-driving job reduce the number of hours you're legally allowed to drive commercially that week.

Most of the guys who have a side business, it's something like snow removal or tax preparation, where they get 6-8 months off from it and are just sitting around for the peak of summer/fall freight demand.
Any of the driving jobs where you're delivering foodservice (inside delivery, ramp & 2 wheeler; sysco/gfs/pfg/reinhart/beverage/etc) are a LOT of work, but many of them are home-daily routes. They're also "truck driving", not so much "trucking". Still good pay, decent work, but you don't require the same degree of self sufficiency when you're home every night and the truck goes back to the yard for routine maintenance daily as when you're out solo for weeks at a time.

>>14650743
>get a folding bike and ride it five miles into town
Yes, because after working a long day, I look forward to getting my bike down and riding into town in the middle of the night to find everything closed an hour ago.
>shit truck stop diners
The good ones are heaven. Honest cooking, independently owned, open late, affordable, convenient.
Could go for a chicken fried steak & eggs and some crispy hash browns right now, but the fucking chain stops have been squeezing out the quality mom 'n pop's. (And... on a quick break, so no time to go over to The Globe at exit 234 and enjoy myself. Got a schedule.)

>>14646645
>truckers
>salad
These two shall never meet.

Greek owned diners seem to be the best, the food, everything is just top notch.

>>14650908
Yeah I was thinking if I was catering maybe I would just fudge the hours since I'll be an owner/operator. I mean who would actually know? And if I was doing 3-4 days a week as long as I had the day off of events I should be good.

>>14647025

fat ass detected

many, many people ride ~30min to work, and then ~30min from work (including jobs that dont require you to sit on your ass for 8hours)

and yeah, five miles is like 20-30minutes unless your a fatass on a beach cruiser
if its a small town, then its more like a 1.5mile ride

also is it against the rules to propane stove kitchen in the parkinglot? cause you could ride your bike to the fucking grocery store for fresh food, but your a fatass who just eat arbys, subway and dennys

>>14647025
>filled to the brim with trannies
that sounds pretty great desu, too bad it's not true

>>14647292
god bless big joe!

>>14651171
Depends on the company and cargo.
Sometimes, yes, a propane stove or grill is highly illegal, sometimes it's just a policy violation, sometimes it's no big deal.

8 hours? I typically work a 12 or 13 hour day. Sure, 10 hours of sitting and staring out the window, but... fatigue is a factor.
And yes, I carry an electric cooking setup, and I stop at a few grocery stores to buy fresh food and cook for myself.
My ass is NOT fat; it's pert.
My belly is fat.

As a sna/ck/ing trucker I do say this
Keep trucking as a get out of jail job
Pay can be good .... But it's costly
You trade much of your life for meh pay and likely poor health
Do it few years at a time at most
Your knees will stay bent out of shape after too much time behind the wheel
Construction jobs pay best but are fairly seasonal
Food wise well ezpz if you already have bad habits well ... Nothing's going to change
Trucking is rest/drive rinse and repeat
Check in ...wait
Load .... Wait
Drive .... Sleep
Drive ... Sleep
Check in .... Wait
Unload ...... Drive
That's it ..... Fueling and eating aside from showering and shitting
Pissing and pissing some more is nearly a driving passtime
Life as a trucker is foul .... What you can say is lots of hours and steady pay 250usd daily is better that most driving gigs ... Already held 175 daily for a solid year meh and more meh
3/10 career ....could be worse is not a great starting pointgot paid last pay period 1900 take home for 2 weeks doingvlocals
This coming pay period could and likely would be 2700 long hauling
It's plenty of money as much as it's plenty of duty
I should have rested these last 9 hours only I couldn't .... Now I'll try for a few hours rest and try to complete a 500 mile shift tired with a 2 hour break to recover before my shift hours end
Stay safe good luck

>bantering about how society owes them
Usually more about how they don't owe anything to society, and how immigration is horrible, and how Trump is going to make their life better (but hasn't yet)

>Actually, stuff should just travel on rail

Indians/Native Americans have basically made any rail expansion in the past 20-30 years virtually impossible.

>who would actually know?
OK. Skipping the don't lease a truck advice...
Nobody will know. Until you crash, and the lawyers for the other party audit your logs for the last 6 months, hard. And they will.

Log an honest 34h reset after catering, before trucking again.
Also, good on you to find worthwhile 4 day work.

Those are called trains and planes

>Coasties will never know this feeling.
Your life draining away in a flyover state isn't something coasties want to feel.

>>14654597
hahaha okay.

truck stop waitresses are always very ugly
at best, you see them as a mother figure. at worst theyre completely inhuman

old school truck stops really dont exist anymore. mostly theyre multi-thousand foot gas stations with a McDonalds and a pristinely bleached shower
the route that an over the road trucker takes is along interstates, and mostly not along the country highways and junctions that still have character
a phillips in pennslyvania and in utah are basically the same

>>14646645
heh, sounds like my wife

>>14646457
No self respecting, non faggoty, trucker will reffer to ghe midwest as flyovers

>old school truck stops really dont exist

Sadly true.
So if you're going by any of A&A, Grovertown, Kylertown, Lisa's, Noble's (sorry, can't remember the new name), Huggy Bear (used to be Rambler's Roost, was Conrad's before that), Pine Cone....
Stop and get a meal before this aspect of Americana is forever lost.

Hell, Stop in at Brintle's or Little America; they're still far better than the usual these days.

So do loggers, miners, underwater welders and crabbers, its just a shitty high risk job which is why they get paid more than a secretary. Sanitation workers too, but thats less dangerous unless youre a dumbass and kick the trash into the compactor.

They only make good money because of the extremely long hours they work and even then the wages haven't kept up with inflation since the 90s or earlier.

Eg. laws where I live say in a seven day period you must not exceed 70 hrs of on-duty time, and you can't drive after 14 hrs on-duty in a single day.

In my experience it's not uncommon for drivers to use those hours up and get stranded because they're not legally able to drive, or fudge their logbooks so they can work longer and/or make it home.
