If you are a driver that cooks in the cab of the truck, it can be a struggle to find recipes with little clean-up and low cost. Along with our line of RoadPro 12 Volt Appliances, we have a passion for helping truck drivers live a healthy on-the-go lifestyle. One way to do this, is by preparing meals in the truck.
