Energy Drink for Truck Drivers, Without the Caffeine
The life of a truck driver can be tough. Over the road, regional and even local trucking can wear us down and the lifestyle itself prevents many of us from receiving the proper diet, exercise and vitamins or minerals that the human body craves. Often, we barely have time to grab a quick hamburger or a cup of coffee and get back on the road to meet our deadline. Finally, when we reach that moment in time where we can shut down and actually go inside the truck stop or cafe and enjoy a good, hot meal . . . we head for the all-you-can-eat buffet or in my case, ( or maybe my downfall?) my favorite . . . chicken fried steak dinner. Hey! What can I say? I like it!
I’ve never been one who liked those energy drinks or supplements that we all know and hear about. Although there were many times my body could use a jolt of energy, I never wanted to fill my body with pure caffeine and sugars, which most energy drinks offer. However, there were times I gave some of them a try. Once, when I was waiting to get unloaded at a receiver in Maryland, I walked to their break room and found a vending machine, but all it had in it were energy drinks. They looked good and showed to have vitamins and minerals, so I figured I would give one a try. I put in $1.50 and chose one that looked like lemonade. I took a really big drink . . . and instantly got rid of it in the sink! It tasted like crushed vitamins mixed with water. It was the worse drink I have ever tasted and several others that I have tried through the years had the same effect on me. They tasted like medicine or was filled with unhealthy ingredients . . . until now.
I have been hearing a lot lately, about a new energy drink that was specifically designed for the lifestyle of a professional trucker. It made me want to research more about those other drinks, and my suspicions were confirmed. Most energy drinks are filled with high sugar, calories and caffeine and “other ingredients” that can lead to increase weight gain which medical science proves can result in diabetes, obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure. I don’t know about you . . . but that term “other ingredients” tends to make me very leery.
Big Ol’ Trucker Energy Juice is a new energy drink that is beginning to make a name for itself and I thought I would pass this information on. Before doing so, like anything I do, I tried it first. For the last two weeks I have been taking 1-2 bottles of Big Ol” Trucker with me to work. The very first thing I can say about this drink, is that it is the first energy drink that I could actually drink! With the fruit punch flavor, I could still get a touch of that nutrient and vitamin taste, but it was still a good flavor. I actually enjoyed it. This energy drink for trucking professionals is filled with vitamins and nutrients which creates a heart healthy energy blend:
Big Ol’ Trucker Energy Juice gets an A+ rating. There was no “jolt” of nervous energy and no “crash” afterwards. Just a normal, relaxing and more natural effect that is what the body actually needs, being provided by the vitamins and nutrients listed above. It’s worth checking out and just so I make myself clear here . . . it tastes pretty darn good too!
