Re: The key to being a driver is....
I apologize for being so short. I reckon it just struck a nerve. I don't dress the way I do because of trucking. I wear 'em cuz I enjoy horses and used to have my own. I've wore boots and hats since I was a kid.

Dress how ya' wanna dress. As long as your clothes are clean anybody who cares how your dressed is a snob and should be avoided. Same class as scum and politicians were ya' to ask me.

Be you at all times.........

Everytime I see a person with gloves on with the fingers cut out i wonder and want to laugh,sometimes i have to turn my head. First thing I do is look around for that nice bike he's riding,but no,never see it,then I see he's driving a regular truck like me. Even the older and younger drivers driving nice petes,and kws are never wearing them gloves,ever wonder why? maybe because they are still sweating driving,and need to keep their palms dry,? I really don't know' But then again it's not any of our business. Used to be pro drivers had a day old beard, big cigar hanging out and that big,big,belly. I'm not telling.

It probably is.....but a chain driven wallet is mentioned in alot of truckstop comedy tapes, songs, so on. So I guess it is a trucker thing also.

I wear them when I ride my HD but laugh when I see truckers wearing them, they must be able to get a better death grip on the steering wheel. I can't imagine waering any types of gloves while driving.

I see that so much. That just shows the level of retardation behind the wheel.

Kinda reminds me of when I worked in the hospital. Nurses and lab techs would put on gloves then tear the finger off when they go to draw blood or give an IV. That negates the whole purpose for wearing them.
