    Anyone have any recommendations on driving gloves?
    I like leather and prefer fingerless (homeless guy) gloves.

    Most of the Pilots and T/A's I have been to have basically crappy gloves that are stiff and with itchy threads.

    I prefer to drive using gloves but does anyone else?

    :biggrin_25524:

    ..I keep a crap set of gloves in the sleeper outer compartment for fueling but dont want to drive with those of course..

    That's funny....Every time I see one of these guys with the fingerless gloves I think, "Professional Nosepicker!"

    I don't wear gloves when I'm driving.

    Maybe he has soft hands!

    Also all gloves need to match your chain drive wallet, chrome tip boots and the Britney Spears headset. :biggrin_2559:

    Only time I ever wore gloves was if I was driving some POS that was nasty and I didn't have enough cleaning supplies with me.

    Also up north in the wintertime driving crap that had no heat.

    The open fingers make it easier to insert the gay porn disc in the disk drive so you can watch while driving your truck.:biggrin_25523:
