    I wonder if making this look like a face was on purpose or just a weird accident

    Wait until you get a load of what's being produce in Japan for childrens games on mobile. I don't do that kind of gaming but it's different and not quite good I would think for the young ones.

    Response: Laughed my butt off at that and totally agree! Thank for taking the time to post.

    why is this your favorite company?

    Here we go with another "good old days" post. Yeah, the good old days, where your cabover had manual steering, spring seat and suspension, tube type tires on split rims, no A/C, and an AM radio. Lets all hurry to go back there!

    There should have been a choice for "other".......when I shave my head in the summer, I wear a floppy "boonie"-style hat. It keeps my ears and neck out of the sun.

    I wear work boots around trucks and machinery. Always have. I only wear flip flops in truck stop showers. I don't understand the flip flop drivers, either, but as long as they're not backing into my truck it doesn't really matter.

    Ya gotta look professional at a customer, though. That's when I wear a top hat.....:D
     
    Oxbow, 2old and Lonesome Thank this.

    You need more choices in your poll.
    I wear a Tilley. (No that’s not me)

    I think it all depends on what you do in trucking. If You pull reefer or dry van or food grade tank or something along those lines, then a decent pair of shorts and tennis shoes are just fine. If you’re in the woods hauling logs or driving dump truck or mixer for a construction company then they probably aren’t practical. Cowboy boots are too slippery for my taste.

    Drivers don't look like drivers anymore? Nope. And for the most part women don't wear slacks, potato sacks, or funny Sunday hats. The eight track, cassette, and floppy disc are gone. The CD, DVD will soon follow.
    It just is.
