Keeping it Cool

For myself and the children it has been a much easier journey to cleaner eating than for our trucker (even though one of my children is a picky eater and prefers junk food like her daddy).  He had a fridge but through the course of one of the wonders of truck driving the company got the idea that his truck needed to be recovered.  The trucker that recovered the truck stole an important expensive piece to making the fridge work on the truck.  Fortunately the Colonel has friends in the terminal so they did not give out his truck and just about everything was still in it.  It's just not in our budget to replace that piece, so for Father's Day I found a cooler for half price.  The fridge is a much better option for healthy eating, as keeping the cooler cool can be a challenge.

So far our best solution has been to wash out about 5 water bottles, fill them 3/4 full with Brita filtered water and freeze them.  This cools his food for about 2 days depending on how many times he opens the cooler.  Then for those weeks he runs out of water, he can drink these water bottles.  It's not the best option, but it does allow for healthier eating for a few days.  What ways have you found as a trucker/family of a trucker to help keep your trucker healthier?
