Some of my earliest memories are with my old man in the truck I’d kill just to be in the truck with my dad once more. People say oh nothing to it just driving but it’s not just driving a lot more to it then you’d think

Any company would be honored and in my opinion, lucky to have this gentleman working for them.

Good video... Never mind the negative comments and do what u do...

A friend of mine and his wife are in their truck damn near 24/7. He got her an instapot and they love it. It's not that big, so it doesn't take up too much of their limited space, it has a tight seal so no splashing or spills, and it cooks fast, can be used to saute and to cook. You can do anything in this thing. You can do one pot spaghetti with the sauce, the meat, everything... like 10 mins. They got me hooked on it too!

Oh and I forgot to say it takes the place of a lot of things: rice cooker, pots/pans, hot plate, crock pot (it can work as a crock pot too). He has some kinda power set up that runs off a battery. I'm sorry, but I don't have any clue how that works.

Thanks for giving us a window into the life of a trucker :) I love how you bring a real meal to the table while working in such a cramped space, I love it.

Im starting truck driving school tomorrow and im very glad i found your videos. Gives me a good idea of what to expect.

Great attitude and super positive personality. I found your video interesting, not as much for the cooking but for the upbeat person that you are. Thanks for brightening my day!

I am a retired Conductor for Norfolk-Southern railroad, I use to cook full meals on the engine block of the engine, the engine's would give off High heat and you could cook a full meal in heat resistant containers in about 30 minutes. We had 8ftx8ft desks inside the engine where we could set our meal to eat quite comfortably! Thanks for sharing!

+raymond foster I do the same thing when camping in my 4x4. Wrap meat (sausages etc) in foil and put it in a steel pan I made that rests on the exhaust manifold. 15-20 minutes of driving and its cooked.

love watching your show you always seem to be in a great mood.

You are a very nice guy! great person and good cook!

Nice video. Really respect what you're doing with these cooking vids for other drivers!

I know I'm way behind, but I really enjoy your videos. You dont talk hate on other drivers. You do your own thing and I like it.

enjoying these videos very much, thank you for being so positive :-)

Great video. You're always so positive. I do canned or baked potatoes in my road pro. I line my loaf pans with tin foil, and reuse the pans. I pack a BBQ. I'll let my potatoes and veggies cook in my roadpro while I drive. I do have to invest in a butane stove for fried eggs for breakfast.

Always love love love the cooking. God bless you, safe travels and keep the rubber side down

I'm glad I discovered your videos. The content and how you speak put me in a great mood. I'm sure you would be a fun person to shoot the breeze with.

Miss this guy and his videos I hope he’s doing well I have 8 years on my belt and still trucking. God bless all and drive safe stay safe.

Fantastic job I never thought about cooking all of that in a truck thanks ..

This guy is doing it all wrong. Here's the right way: Buy a small piece of lean beef; some carrots, a potato; a bag of frozen mixed peppers. Season to taste. Herbs and spices..some olive oil. Wrap it all up tight in two or three layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. Raise the hood and wire the package to the hottest part of the engine block. Drive for four hours. Maybe six. Pull over at a rest stop and retrieve your lunch. Take it inside, pour a glass of cold chablis, and listen to a little Mozart or Chopin. Might I suggest a nice piano concerto. Aids in the digestion. Enjoy your lunch, have a second glass of wine, and then take a nap.

Good video man gunna help out later in life when I become a trucker

I am really ready to get my cdl and this video was nice and informative. Its healthier than eating out of some of these restaurants with processed food. Good job!!!

Looks good Jerry and a lot cheaper then paying $15 or $20 for supper.

Great job Mr. Jerry you have very positive upbeat camera demeanor.Keep doing what you are doing because you are do so well.Signed:Fredster

Good job Jerry. Im gettin hungry just lookin at her.

Top chef trucker edition

Great video, Jerry - really enjoy the channel! Great insight and reflections on the trucking industry. I won't bore you w/ what I do, but I'm not a trucker. However, first class channel and videos you're producing here. Keep them

I work at the trailer wash in Schuyler nebraska at cargill... I'd hope to see you come in there sometime. I got a couple years to go before i get my CDL's but you are an inspiration to me...

Hey Jerry anyway I want you to know I came here cuz I was flickin through truck videos. I came upon yours by accident an started to watch thinking o great cooking yawn then as you started talking you accutally held my attention even though I couldn't hav given a flip about cookin but I watched your video anyhow you were as good as any other youtuber out there you held my attention you had me hanging and waiting for what you were about to say and il say il be watching alot more of your videos.

Good job ,stay blessed! But just remember that the frying pan is good for more than just cooking ! lol

Love your videos Jerry! I've seen them all, wish there were more. I hope you're doing ok.

Jerry that was a good cooking video with you in the truck cant wait for the up coming videos.....hope your having an awesome day or night when ever you are seeing this, love watching your shows all the way from austraila (sydney)

Great video man! Keep the cb's talking!

Fair play to ya..I did this for several years in the UK..but the available space we have in our trucks is a little smaller but still manageable and better and cheaper (and healthier)than eating out. Stay safe and stay healthy and thanks for the vid.

Awesome video. I have a profound respect for truck drivers; I commute from Calgary AB to Golden BC every week and the truckers always respect passing traffic... Unlike the tourists...

Actual butter would be better health wise than margarin. That stuff that's made out of canola oil is also much better for you. Also, oatmeal is a pretty healthy meal that would be easy to cook with your setup.

Very informative! You're a cool person!

thanks Jerry for the hot meal. Always wondered how well those little butane burners worked. think I'll get pme

I cook almost everything in my Presto electric skillet. I’m actually going to fill with some water, bring to boil and cook some pasta for the Italian sausage and onions I will brown with spaghetti sauce

While I don't mind instant potatoes i had a friend from Idaho and he had worked in a place where they made them and he wouldn't touch em. but i am sure times have changed :-)

awesome vid man ..keep the cookin vids comin

YUM YUM for on the road^^

Jerry, great video's... instead of water in the hot pan.. try chicken or beef stock(in the boxes).. scrape all the little crispy bits up and reduce the liquid(a little milk also) by half.. season with salt and pepper.. makes a nice gravey for your potato's and pork..

Bruce Evert Good idea. Watching I was thinking alone almost the same lines yet semi different. I would have taken the steaks out and quickly added some of the veggies in one pile to the side, and then added the mashed potatoes for about 4 minutes with the flame off. It would have added another dimension to the whole meal.

Great job Jerry!!!!

If you put a pot holder under your plate it will keep your food warm longer and you can use to hold a pot. dual use .

Good one,Jerry!

Make the dinners up before you hit the road, have a small fridge/freezer and microwave in the truck.easy and save alot of time and cleanup.

Matowix Yeah never thought about that great idea, thanks

Is that the same truck you were in when you shot the inside tour of your rig? Looks like in this video that you changed your TV to a flat screen from that Citizen TV/VCR combo you had previously.

Hi Jerry, just found your channel. Looks good, sir! One thing though.. all those crusty bits stuck on the bottom of that pan are just *full* of delicious flavor.. If you keep that pan on, add your cool liquid, and stir a bit, it turns into a yummy pan sauce. Mix in a bit of cornstarch, or better yet, dry roux, and simmer a bit to thicken.. salt and pepper, and you've got a tasty pork gravy to add to those mashed potatoes :)

Nicely done. I'm gonna have to learn how to make better videos. Cause with my handle being Barbecue and being a country boy? I'm gonna have to put something out there myself. Lol

Great vid brother

for a second there I almost tried to actually smell the potato mix... lol

Wow... Americans r lucky...they comfort themselves at every moment

Great video man!!!

hey man just wanted to share I think you are awesome coming from Kansas USA. Keep on truckin and be safe. 10-10 on the side......

I enjoyed your video, thankyou. do you not have issues with steam build up or grease getting on the inside of you truck? I know you said you opened the windows full, but still, the steam coming of the meat contains particles of grease...just curious.

Great video!

Great vid man

Simply Aaaaamazing sir

Love the content man keep going. EGG

Yummy! Nice video. thank you.

Hello and thank you i really enjoyed it be blessed

Great video.

Jerry, You crack me up!! These videos are great!! Very interesting!! I clean as I go when I cook ay home, too.. Now, if Hubby would just pick up on that!!

Keep up the truckin videos my friend o

Great meal looks good... keep it up ...

Great video

I enjoyed....first class video. Do more cooking videos.

aqui no Brasil a maioria dos caminhões tem "caixa-de-cozinha", mas é proíbido aos caminhões tanque, barriga-de-ferro.... nice video.... have a nice dinner!

i am impressed

If its your rig you can install a small water tank a ball valve and a coil of copper tubing a check valve and wrap your turbos down pipe and you could have boiled water any where any time

Good video Jerry. Now I'm hungry. lol

And of course the spiteful people even thumbs down a cooking video. Great looking meal and at least you know the only person who could of sneezed on it was you.

YOU ~ ROCK ! !

Im starving now. That looks so good

Great video! Hope you make more cooking clips. Maybe something showing healthy choices. Thanks jerry

Great video. Very nice work.

That looks really delicious. The only thing you're missing is the mustard.

now that's the way to end a long day of work.

I think I saw your other video, "Office Space". Stapler guy right!?!

this is way better then eating out :)

good video, obviously

I’ve always wanted to become a truck driver but I have epilepsy so I don’t think I’d be able to do it

That's the same way I make my pancake mix, pour the mix in a bowl as much as you think you'll need and add the water a little at a time till you have the consistency of batter you like, my dogs and I like them semi-thick, and heat the syrup up in a pan of hot water on low heat (still in the bottle with top vented ). while you cook the pancakes , butter each pancake as you stack em'. Bon Appe'tit, as Martha would say !!! ;^P

Do u have a refrigerator recommendation ?

Good tip on the butane stove I'am still learning with mine cooking with gas cooks fast and ya burning shit is easy to do. When a person is used to cooking at home on an electric stove then start cooking on a butane stove it takes some practice.

I will use cauliflower mash for low carb and steam chicken for good high protein. I avoid to eat high carb food . Eat more salad for good high fiber. I prefer to eat organic food. Thanks for sharing your video.

You could get a steak at the ta and still have change just by not idling all the time for gadgets and refrigeration

What is the manufacturer of that swivel seat? That is a tasty looking meal you cooked up. Only lacking some sauteed mushrooms for the port fillets.

I have a question for you BigRig....have you ever used heavy duty foil to wrap all your raw ingredients including the meat...like chicken and find a secure spot on the engine block to set it. It should cook well and allow you to continue driving for another forty five minutes. I dont know if this is possible to be done on the manifold or engine block of a big rig but I do know people that have done it in their cars

Old timers tradition to do that. I'd just put a can of soup there when I hit the truck stop and by the time I got back out it was pretty warmed up. These new gadgets make it all easier.

This is fine for being layed over or on a 34hr restart. After working a 20 hour day however, just getting out of the drivers seat seems like too much work sometimes.

if you are working a 20hr day then you are driving illegally max on duty time including driving is 14 hrs in US and 16 hrs window in Canada

There is no max on duty time. You can't drive when 14 hours from the start of your daily clock have elapsed, or after you have had a total of 70 hours driving/on duty in an 8 day period. So no, when I work a 20 hour day, I'm not driving illegally, I'm starting my day, heading to pickup, getting live loaded, then driving 8-11 hours to a customer, parking my truck there, and unloading the trailer by hand. After that's said and done, you're lucky if you can do much more than climb back in the truck and drool on the steering wheel, much less cook a nice healthy meal.

80000lbsofliberty you didn't break it down in your first comment and even so u can only do 70 in 8 days so if you do 20 a day and u can only reset once a week well one would assume something doesn't add up but yes after some days you just don't want to be bothered with cooking but after a normal day of driving ie: 10 to 12 hrs only total the cooking isn't a big deal

I love making me a feast in the back of my custom double BUNK and talk some trash on the CB.

Hey Jerry, where did you get the wooden tray/table and how do you store it?

+bigrigtalk is cooking like boss

I don’t have a pic of it, but I use a piece of plywood that rests on the armrests of the seats and spans that 30” wide area. It makes a great table while you sit on the bunk and just slips in behind the seat any other time.. 30” by about 16”. Good video driver. I see so many guys eating mcDs and Wendy’s every night. Too expensive and who knows what’s really in it

@happycook6737

Great idea about the plywood "table". Fast food is so terrible for the health and the wallet.

Maybe you could use some of that pan drippings/crusty bits with your peas/carrots broth to make a simple gravy for your mashed potatoes. Just add some of that veggie broth instead of water and stir to scrape up the pan and let it boil off some moisture to thicken it.

So much has been learned recently about spray oils from a can. All not good for health. Better to use another way to grease a pan. Not sure how healthy Crisco is but anything in solid form can be spread into a pan using a baggie or a small torn piece of wax paper quickly. Maybe solid coconut oil, almond oil, or any other solid form of choice. Just not sprays.

Hey there just found your channel 😊

lol when he said smell it i sniffed.

Do you ever cook outdoors when possible?

well done
