If you are driving for any length of time it can only help to have food in the car. Figure you need one meal and 1/2 snacks for every 150 miles you need to drive during the day, and one snack for the same during the night. You also need eight ounce ounces (or .25 l) of fluid for every hour of driving.
There's a reason gas stations sell a lot of candy jerky, nuts, and chips: These make ideal road snacks.
Unless you have a cooler, bring what you need to make sandwiches rather than prepared sandwiches. Dried meats, such as sausages are great, as well as hard cheeses. Buns are better than sliced bread. Condiments should be debated; although most can survive heat okay, others such as mayonnaise may not fare as well. Don't forget a knife with a wide surface and a sharp blade.
Fried meats also work, as does pizza. In general, anything that has been cooked should do okay unless you are in a hot area. If so, limit it to fried foods. If it's a bit chill, you can get away with just about anything.
Raw vegetables and fruits should be debated. Fruits with a peel or thick skin should be okay. If you bring vegetables, limit them to what you need for sandwiches.
