Where is everyone #5

Sitting in the restaurant, there’s 10 drivers sitting in the Driver Section. 6 of them are at least 100lbs overweight. That’s sad. But there’s 2 of the old hands here, still wearing the old hand uniforms. The button up shirts and denim. It’s rare to see TWO in the same room nowadays. And that’s really sad. These guys are usually in their mid 70s now. Tough old sdratsaB.

 

Alright tall Mike. If that's you're real name. What makes you "tall"

I'll be one if them overweight ####er . Been "overweight" all my life. Trucking didnt change it and football in high school didnt make it any different. I've dieted, fasted, etc stayed withing 15 pounds of what I've been since I got out of high school. Stress really ####ed me and that's when I put it o . Ain't quite been able to get it off since.

 

I'm still here. Just been reading. Have sure been giving selling out a good think over. Going fishing is for old guys, and I've got to much to do. Besides, if I caught any I'd have to clean the dam things. I love fish, but hate cleaning them.

 

I'm 6'8"..

 

I never thought it about it that way but you're right. Jeans or black Bailey's or Ben Davis pants, plaid or hickory shirts, work boots, and a ball cap with a curved bill. That's what our drivers wear and most of our customers wear the same thing. It is a uniform, isn't it.
And, for what it's worth, we have some drivers over 70. Our youngest driver is in his mid forties. The other guys call him "the kid".

 

Sasquatch brother!!! As am I.

 

I will never understand people taking that little pride in their professionalism. How do they expect to get further along?

Anyway I gotta finish my 30 in the fuel island and empty my pee bottle in the trash can.

 

I mean I wear shorts, sleeveless shirts, and me boots most days.

But my receivers are about 7 pounds and theres 32k of em in the house for 7 weeks at a time, dont figure they much care what I look like long as i show up.
