    LMAO I almost didn't take the picture because I thought they looked a little "girly" right now. I really did sand them down yesterday.

    Whoa!
    I take great offense to that. I live and work is shorts and flip flops. I worked very hard to have that privilege. I own my trucks, I own my trailers, and I own 99% of the goods that are transported on those trailers. I answer to no individuals PERIOD. Consequently I wear what I want, when I want. I keep a pair of long pants, boots, socks, gloves, and safety glasses with me in case I need to enter FPL or some other hyper-safe environment, but they are removed at the facilities gate. That hardly makes me a 10 year old boy and dam sure doesn't make me a girl!
    Common sense and experience keep me safer than ANY PPE

    OSHA can kiss my wrinkly pink Irish ###

    @Grumppy I may not wear gloves but I don't insult those that do. A man is a man based on his character not his wardrobe or lack thereof!

    WHOA, Hold on, slow down there boys. Read what I said.
    I really dont care what yall wear & you can wear mini skirts for all I care. I just stated my opinion. I never condemned you for it. Wear driving gloves & or tutu's for all I care. You are absolutely right, you can wear what you want. It dont mean that I gotta like it, nor does it mean you cant wear it. I just gave my opinion, then stated the above to ensure that everyone understood that I realize just like you stated... you can wear whatever you want. That's you, you are your own person. But again, for me.... I don't get it.

    I wear the gloves when I'm working the landing gear and fueling. Don't want it cutting into the action with the ladies.
