Curious, what do the Cargo and ACMI guys do for food enroute?

[metrodriver]

At Amerijet you had to fix a bag of sandwiches to last through a 24 hr duty day. At another MIA outfit there was a big locker in the hanger for which the pilots had a key and you took whatever you thought would make you survive a long S.American night and day. Other outfits with ACMI it depended on the customer. UPS was good, Lufthansa excellent, Fedex bbq and other meals of a menu. I have seen some excellent catering in Africa, and lousy catering in the US (depending on location and customer). Our contract at one company said everything over 2.5 hrs had to be catered, at another it was an unwritten rule. Never had a fridge, never had a microwave, helped a mechanic fix a coffeemaker during a stop. If the oven broke, you had a problem. The good mechanics almost always had a way to get the thing running. Cold food in a large camping cooler with (dry) ice. Another cooler for the drinks.
