Now about how many cost-saving truckers are eatin' their own cookin'?
More than you would think .
The smart truckers have their time and the trucks running time calculated , so they can tell you how much it is costing them for the truck to be running and them to be standing around ( diesel cost , MPG , pay per hour (( though most of these guys are being payed for loads hauled or miles driven )))

Plus, getting a decent meal at a decent price at the right time in their itinerary.
They may not feel like driving another hour or two after supper when the truck stop doesn’t jibe with their log book limit.
They also may have a restricted, by choice or Doc’s orders, diet, that clashes with restaurant chow. They could be kosher, vegan, or cannibals.
