My fiance is a truck driver during the day and doesn't get a chance to just stop to eat, does this container travel well? Like is it durable...

It is durable, but I wouldn't play basket ball with it. It keeps ingredients separated until you are ready to eat.

I only take it from my house to my office but I think it would travel great. The lid for the bowl stays on snuggly and the lid for the dressing stays on as well.

Very durable. But the divider tray must be frozen in advance for the cold effect. The center divider is SUPER frustrating to lift up after it's in place. Theres nothing to grab to lift up . It gets suctioned tight.

The plastic bottom and lid are somewhat thin. It fits so snugly together with the frozen insert (which holds the dressing and toppings) and the snap on lid, that makes it sturdy. I'm not sure how it would fare if it were dropped, but I've found it to hold together well without leaking if I store it sideways or roll it around some.

I keep mine in my truck and split my time between South Florida and East Texas, no problems with storing it yet. My best advise is the same as J Davidson, store it in a container, if you accidentally tip it over or spill it the product is a mess to clean up (been there done that in a toolbox and it wasn't fun). Good luck!

As with any gasoline storage vessel, carrying it in the trunk really isn't a good idea. Be that as it may, this particular can is very well sealed, and is very sturdy. I believe that other than it being punctured, as in an accident, it should be safe to travel.

I have had no problems with leaks... but I have been pretty mindful of keeping it standing upright. Also, I generally only use the containers for dry items - diced canned fruit is probably the 'wettest' food I have had in them. But, no leaks.Sometimes I've noticed it's a little difficult to screw together (30% of the time). You just have to unscrew, start over and align the threading. It certainly isn't an issue that would keep me from ordering again.Love the container - use it almost everyday for our girls lunch and snacks.

I am not an experienced trucker, and am not sure if you mean if it will work in his truck while he is driving, but if you are thinking it would be a good option because those lid arms would keep the lid on and prevent spills since he will be cooking while he is driving, I will tell you those lid arms can not be used to secure the lid while the machine is on and cooking because too much pressure would build up in the crock pot and it would break.

I purchased this for someone else to cart groceries up and down the stairs, so I don't know how durable it would be for a longer "road trip" - sorry.

I have this model and I am a truck driver. It will get you in a big bind if you rely on it for routing. It does not have the capability for entering truck dimensions along with hazmat most importantly truck legal roads. It isn't marketed as one. I also have the co-pilot truck, it is by far better. I just picked up the new Rand McNally tnd 730, awaiting it's first trip out Sunday, Chicago.. It has some very nice truck friendly features, especially what stops are at exits and amenities.. traffic is an extra $20.00 per year, I figured that it was about equal to the amount of advil that I would need otherwise.

Yes, it is very durable. I love this carrier my husband and I both use it. Its true what the others say about the ventilation of the material. There is not much circulation in it, so if your hiking or exercising you and baby will warm up quickly, but if its chilly or kind of cold that's probably a good thing.

I use mine for longer than that ! Long haul truck driver sometimes I cannot make it home on a regular time.

The a pretty good for transporting food, but I do not overfill or turn upside down. These are great for refrigerator, microwave or travel. However as the lids age the seal is not as tight, I have some that is over 20 years old. For leak-proof I find the containers that lock down better, but they are not as nice looking.

i have had it in the passanger seat of my wrangler while off roading, and it has slamed back and forth, down to the floor boards, and i have dropped it from my hiker pack and its pretty flawless. Although i have the powder coated black one and i believe that helps with the durability. My friend has the 40 oz. and his dented on the bottom after dropping it from about 3 to 4 feet. From my experience its very durable. My only recommendation is to get the straw lid. The plastic neck holder snapped in the middle not even 3 months in. Hope this helps!

Yes. It is leak proof. Make sure all four tabs are locked in place. That is how i mixed the salad. This is the best salad container for commuters that i found.

We've had ours for a year now. We love it. Our truck is also outside in Minnesota 24/7! Very durable so far! :)

I have used this with the Thule Force XL cargo box. It held up more than fine. I loaded it a little more than I should have as we had ski gear, clothes, etc. for 4 people and 2 dogs. We drove from DC to upstate NY through the mountains (turns, etc.), through NJ (bad roads), and at higher speeds (80+), and the box was fine and the carrier was fine.

I've been transporting it at least weekly for the past year and haven't had any problems. However, I also bought the optional case cover and keep it covered when I'm not using it.

I use mine for solid food every day . I take meatballs , chicken ,cubed pork , and vegetables. I leave my lunch in my car even during winter and lunch has always been warm. I would recommend it for any type of food.

I had it for a couple of years and it appears to be holding up OK (no obvious links, failure of seals or cap, brittleness of materials). I only drag it with me when I need the volume so it's getting used 3-4 times a year. It's currently on loan to a trusted buddy. I am fairly careful with it because it's made of materials that could puncture it so I don't pack it next to a spork or put it on the outside of my pack in a spot where a branch could poke it.
