Heater Meals:
Reviews from Professional Truck Drivers

Many truck stop travel stores sell foodstuffs. Some sell "Heater Meals" or "HeaterMeals". The products use "TRUETECH Self-Heating Technology" (chemically generated heat) to raise the temperature of an 8 ounce food pouch at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit without a flame or electricity. This preparation method would certainly allow professional truck drivers who do not have other meal preparation methods -- such as 12-volt powered appliances or household appliances powered via inverter -- to eat hot meals on the road.

The brand carries a variety of entrees. The ones we have found at truck stops are pictured at right. We have also provided close-up views below.

	HeaterMeals: Zesty BBQ Sauce & Potatoes with Beef
	HeaterMeals: Homestyle Chicken & Noodles in Gravy
	HeaterMeals: Chicken Pasta Italiana
	HeaterMeals: Green Pepper Steak with Rice

Most (if not all) of these products we have seen for sale at truck stops are priced at $5.99 each. They can be less expensive than some truck stop buffets (lunch and dinner, specifically).
