Cut a pool noodle to fit around your food container (it cushions everything during those bumpy rides on site).

Disagree with @garcia.wren, this hack saves my sandwiches every time.

Honestly thought this was silly until my tupperware cracked last week. Tried the pool noodle trick and it actually works, even when my tools shift around in the cab. @garcia.wren, I get the bulk worry, but the cushioning makes a real difference on potholes. What kind of container were you using before?

Seriously? That just adds bulk and still won't stop a real impact.

What are you doing to your sandwiches, construction work?
