For most people, eating a meal is simple. You sit down at a table, unwrap your food, and eat without thinking much about it.
For truck drivers, it’s never been that easy.
Meals happen wherever they can—on the edge of the seat, balanced on a knee, perched on the dash, or eaten straight from the wrapper. Over time, that reality turns into spills, messes, frustration, and wasted money.
Travel Trable® exists because one driver finally decided that eating in a truck shouldn’t be that hard.
Life on the Road: Where the Problem Begins
Long-haul truck drivers live in their trucks. Over the course of a career, a driver may:
-
Spend half their nights sleeping in the cab
-
Eat thousands of meals on the road
-
Travel millions of miles across every type of road and weather
Truck cabs are engineered for safety and efficiency—not comfort, and certainly not for eating. There’s no real table. No stable surface. No good place to set a meal.
So drivers adapt.
They balance food on their lap. They eat standing up at the fuel island. They wedge containers into cup holders and hope nothing tips over.
And when it does?
They clean it up and keep going.
Meet Fred Loso: 40 Years, 4 Million Miles, One Simple Idea
Fred Loso is a long-haul truck driver who spent over 40 years on the road, logging more than 10 million miles hauling freight coast to coast.
From Maine to Minnesota, California and back, Fred lived the life most people never see:
-
Weeks away from home
-
Sleeping in the cab roughly 50% of the time
-
Eating almost every meal in or near the truck
If you do the math, it adds up fast.
Over 40 years:
-
Roughly 250 workdays per year
-
About 3 meals and snacks per day
-
That’s 30,000+ meals eaten on the road
Every one of those meals had the same problem:
Where do you put the food?
The Everyday Frustration That Sparked Travel Trable®
Fred didn’t set out to invent a product.
He just got tired of the same daily hassle:
-
Food sliding off the seat
-
Containers tipping during a simple cab movement
-
Sauces spilling onto paperwork or upholstery
-
Cleaning up messes when he should’ve been resting
Truck drivers don’t complain much. They solve problems.
Fred looked around his cab and noticed the one thing that never moved:
the cup holder.
That’s when the idea clicked.
What if a cup holder could do more than hold a drink?
What if it could become a stable eating surface?
Designed on the Road, Not in a Boardroom
Travel Trable® wasn’t designed by engineers guessing what truckers need. It was shaped by decades of lived experience.
Fred knew exactly what wouldn’t work:
-
Complicated mounts
-
Flimsy materials
-
Oversized trays that eat up space
He focused on what would work:
-
A simple, secure fit
-
A flat, stable surface
-
Raised edges to stop food from sliding
-
Something tough enough for daily use
The result was Travel Trable®—a cup holder food tray that turns wasted space into something useful.
What Travel Trable® Does (and Why It Matters)
Travel Trable® fits into most standard vehicle cup holders and instantly creates a level platform for meals and snacks.
For drivers, that means:
-
Food stays upright
-
Less mess in the cab
-
Faster, less stressful meal breaks
-
No balancing acts or lap spills
It’s not about luxury.
It’s about making life on the road a little easier.
Built for Truckers, Useful for Everyone
While Travel Trable® was born in a semi-truck, its usefulness goes far beyond trucking.
It works just as well for:
-
Delivery drivers
-
Rideshare drivers
-
Road-trip families
-
RV and van-life travelers
Anywhere people eat in a vehicle, the same problem exists—and the same solution applies. The Travel Trable solves problems for Truck Drivers only a Truck Diver can appreciate.
Why Simple Wins on the Road
Truck drivers don’t want gadgets.
They want tools that work.
Travel Trable® doesn’t need instructions. It doesn’t require installation. It just fits, holds steady, and does its job.
That simplicity is why it’s trusted by drivers who’ve spent a lifetime adapting to equipment that wasn’t built for them.
Final Thoughts: Millions of Miles Led Here
Travel Trable® isn’t a trend.
It’s the result of millions of miles, thousands of meals, and one driver who decided there had to be a better way.
If you eat in your truck, you already understand the problem.
Travel Trable® simply solves it.
