I use the ice machine at work before I leave. A few pounds in a DR bag, then in my cooler. I have ice all day and it stays ice cold even on a 100 degree day.

I put all of my drinks in the freezer for a half an hour before I pack my lunch!!Also spend a few extra bucks on a good cooler. Those $10 coolers don't do the job.

I freeze water bottles so they are cold longer. What type of cooler do you use? I use a playmate and the trouble is the top isn't insulated.

​Someone build me a insulated cover with blue freezing gel on the inside, for use with a playmate cooler. The top can be a V-shape to fit under the lid. Million $ idea?

I use two Roadpro 7 quart 12v travel coolers with a frozen water bottle in each. One for drinks and one for food. They aren't strong enough to make something cold, but they will maintain the temp of whatever you put in there. Really cold with the added frozen bottles...

I have a commercial truck fridge, keeps a steady 2 degrees all day. The new trucks also have special paint on the roof to reflect the sun.

TP is from England which uses the metric system. 2 degrees C is roughly 40 degrees friend.

metric sucks

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Metric makes a lot more sense.

 

[serenity now]

don't use a cooler * just cold water in an insulated jug * travel light

If you have a bidded route and are cool with certain businesses just stop and get a dr bag full of ice once or twice a day

This is how I refill my water bottle during the day.

I always found that stopping at a air-conditioned resturant in the summer (or even a fast food joint) was a sure fire way to enjoy a meal that was just right temperature wise. I can't remember packing a lunch once in 30 years.

Amen brother

Same here. My lunch box is liquid only. I'd rather grab lunch as my cravings change everyday.

We have a driver who told us he spends $14/day on lunch and snacks. We did the math for him and it worked out to $280/month. My car payment is $275. This is why I brown bag it. I normally spend $0/day as I take my break at home.

Impossible, you must spend something on food even if its in your home (a point but mean it as a joke).
I know there are larger costs involved by buying lunch everyday. But my lunch spots only charge me peanuts considering I deliver to them. A $5 foot long at Subway only casts me $3 as an example. Once it gets real hot, I'm living on salads mostly. But you did bring up a great point of showing the kid about projected costs. I do the reverse with people who don't take their lunch time break at all.
