Haulage Work ? Top Tips for On the Road Snacks

Back in May of this year, in the US, a woman was arrested after an incident occurred after spilling soup down her front while driving. In her shock she stopped her car in a dangerous place oblivious to any traffic. After much mayhem, she was spotted by some studious policemen who arrested her ? not only for reckless driving, but also for driving under the influence of alcohol. It makes you wonder what was in her soup and, also which foods are the most difficult to eat while you are carrying out your haulage work?

Coffee; plain or fancy

To anyone carrying out serious haulage work, coffee usually comes in one temperature ? hot. There are those fancy cold drinks that are sometimes called coffee, but they are basically ice cold milk with a coffee flavour. However, they can be just as cumbersome when they leave the cup and fail to arrive in your mouth accurately. If you are heading home after a long day?s work, or just starting out from home, you might need some caffeine to give you a boost. The problem starts with the lid. They might fit well the first time they are fixed in the shop, but as soon as you try to take a drink, they fall off, move and drip hot coffee all over you. This could easily cause you to take your mind off the road for a split second ? causing disaster. Breaking for a traffic light can also guarantee that coffee will spill, so invest in a cup holder.

Soup

This isn?t a debate about whether you should choose plain soup or one of those full of vegetables that looks more like a Sunday lunch than a soup. This is about hot drinks when you are carrying out your haulage work. Soup is like coffee ? usually hot, hot, hot! In some instances, if you inadvertently have some spillage, soup can cause even more angst than a coffee in your lap. Ouch ? stay attentive, those Styrofoam cups retain heat very well!

Tacos

Tacos are a bit of a job to eat while sitting in a Mexican restaurant, let alone on the road while doing haulage work! Like crisps, however hard you try to have the crumbs fall into your mouth as you eat, they invariably choose any distracting moment to fall off and into the deepest crevice in your vehicle ? which is always too hard to find when your vehicle is stationery, let alone doing 60 MPH in the overtaking lane.

Chilli

Whoever first thought that chilli was the right food to eat to keep you warm while driving probably didn?t account for the fact that this is a meal best eaten with a spoon and fork on a plate, at a table. The same people eating chilli probably attempt breakfast cereals with milk while doing haulage work.

Ribs and Sushi

You need to look at the ribs while you are eating them, to find the meat. That means you have at least one eye off the road ? short answer, don?t do it. Like fried chicken, ribs also have a tendency to coat your hands in goo that really shouldn?t come into contact with your radio controls, or your indicators. And do we really need to mention the wisdom of eating sushi with chopsticks while you drive? Unless you want a poke in the eye and a potential disaster don?t even consider it.
