I was just kidding with you sir. It's a good thing to take pride in yourself, your professionalism and your truck. It only goes to a certain extent though. Sure, a guy might have on "proper" attire but might not shower or has the giant gut poking out from his stupid button up shirt. The clothes don't make a man, the man makes a man. While I would say walking around in pyjamas is a bit much, I think me wearing running shoes doesn't make me any less of a truck driver than you. As for society, I couldn't care less what they think of our industry. At the end of the day I work an honest job, I pay the bills and I get things done. If I do all that while wearing shorts, so be it.
Footwear for truck drivers?

Back when I was young, very few people were on welfare, compared to today. The ones that were did not brag about it. When a man got hurt at work, he fought through the pain to get back to work, not running to the social security office to cry like a baby about being disabled.
You young people are not only low class, but also proud to be such low class. Women today can't even tell you who the father of their kid is, without a DNA test. Even the ones who do know who the father is, don't see any need to be married to him. We had names for women like that when I was a kid. Back when I was young, men were men, and women were dignified. Today most of society is a collection of scam artists, ######, and basic pigs. So excuse me if my age (50) offends your modern, enlightened, sensibilities.homeskillet, Rumblestrip, MtnTideRooster and 2 others Thank this. -

In an attempt to clarify a little, let me say the following:
It is OK to be comfortable while you work. You just can't use confort as an excuse to dress like you have no pride.
Driving in bare feet is just silly. At least put on some type of sandal or house slippers. But the problem with that is, what happens in a case of an emergency? There is a horrible wreck right in front of you.....do you jump out to assist the victims, or start looking for your shoes? If you jump out in bare feet, the broken glass is going to make you useless at the crash scene, if you don't have good shoes on. If you jump out with your favorite slippers on, you're not going to look too bright, running around helping people with 2 rabbits tied to your feet.
