I'm Ruben, a veteran driver, and I'll show you why a plate of fried chicken and mashed potatoes at a Pilot now runs more than 20 dollars, and what that food really costs a driver out on the road. I break down the captive-audience pricing, the same tired menu at every stop, and the hidden hit the clock takes every time you pull over to eat. One night I added up a whole month of my own receipts and the number stopped me cold. Then I'll show you how drivers are turning the sleeper cab into a tiny kitchen instead.
