    Hey Guys,

    I work in the office at a trucking company. I would like to start sending the guys in the field a goody box every once while. They are out for a couple weeks at a time and I'd like them to have something homemade to lift their spirits because I know it can be rough out there.

    I was thinking of making beef jerky and brownies this first time, but I'd love to have some suggestions for future boxes.

    Are there any particular snacks you guys love and miss when you're out on the job?

    Fresh fruit, nuts, pork skins, peanut butter/jelly sandwiches. I seldom have much home made, so not sure what to suggest. However, brownies and cookies have never in the history of trucks been refused by a driver. ;)

    Are you kidding? Brownies, beef jerky ? Why not healthy snacks, no salts, no preservatives, no sugars, nothing with corn syrup or fructose. I would do some research BEFORE, you decide what kind of snacks you would want to send to the drivers. Bad choices for snacks creates high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. I hope you got the picture. Please do your research.
