    Or does it have to be all formal?

    I do. I wear my flops if it's warm.
    If it's cold I wear my fuzzy pj bottoms.

    Clean but casual is normal. I'd be prepared to get dirty at any point, obviously more so with flats and tanks but even with a box you could end up working a bit in a warehouse or whatever.

    Ive always dressed casual and ready to work for interviews and training. Ive finished my shift at one employer and went to an interview for another job with the same dirty uniform I had been working in, and ended up getting the job too!

    If a trucking company expects me to dress formal for an interview/orientation, I probably would be a horrible fit for that company anyways.

    Winner.

    A good, comfortable closed toe shoe that you can wear all day. Jeans, a shirt that you can work in and a hoodie. Dont forget your gloves.

    You're gonna get shuffled around for days. Dress for physical work and comfort.
     
    Dan.S, homeskillet and wore out Thank this.

    Flip flops, cargo shorts, and Hawaiian shirt... There must be some reflective coloring in the Hawaiian shirt for safety purposes
