    What is the dress policy at Werner?

    Obviously,I would not expect them to allow things such as driving bare foot, or while wearing flip-flops,tank top T-Shirts, shirts/hats with foul/racist/vulgar language or pictures on them.
    But there are some items I am not sure about.

    Can I wear shorts while on the road,or do I have to always wear long pants?

    Are steel-toed boots required, or can I drive in a pair of soft tennis shoes, or even slipper type shoes?

    My hubby drove for Werner until the end of Feb 2008, and they didn't have any dress code. No footwear requirements or anything like that.

    I'm all for being comfortable. But weather it's Werner, CFI, Conway, Crete, Millis or any other company, you represent that company to the general public, to shippers and receivers, etc. When they see you they see the company you represent.

    You're a professional, why not dress that way.

    You get one shot at a first impression. Make it count.

    So go ahead and wear that tank top, cut off sweat pants and flip-flops, but when you get out of that truck, look like the professional that you are.

    You cant wear flip flops when you are driving for any company. If you get caught by DOT you will be given a ticket. Technically you are required to wear steel toe boots but they wont bother you for sneakers or better.
