Just because you’re on the road for many days in a row, doesn’t mean you can’t eat well. By cooking in your truck you can take control of what goes into your meal. You will also save money by not eating in restaurants. The benefit is you are not dependent on truck stops for your meals. You can share your on-the-road recipe, send to social@bisontransport.com
