    You probably thought I was gonna complain about the freight slow down. But I'm not.

    Flip flops! I've seen way too many flip flops in 4 weeks. Where have all the red blooded American men gone? (Obviously no disrespect to an immigrant with Red Wing boots)

    I just don't think it's smart. But then again what is smart nowaday's?

    How do you feel about adults wearing pajamas along with not combing/brushing their hair?

    Flip Flops are the tip of the iceberg.

    I don't wear flip flops on the truck but I also don't wear boots and jeans that most think a trucker should wear. I think we should focus on ourselves and our own issues and worry less about others.
     
    LoneRanger and Snow Hater Thank this.

    I grew my hair past my shoulders to show other drivers my superior genetics then donated it to charity to show how much more giving I am

    You don't have to wear boots and Jeans.
    We older hands just have expectations of dressing respectfully and appropriately for the job.
    Some will say no shorts. I don't wear them, but if your job is to drive and seldom interact with customers on a professional level then shorts and tennis shoes are just fine.
    People are gonna do what they're gonna do though.

    Have at it.

    Had a "red-blooded American" co-worked who busted his rotator cuff wearing crocks, at a truck stop. Surgery left his arm too stiff to rise above shoulder level. Said "red-blooded American man" can no longer pass a physical. Stupidity knows no borders. And todos sangramos na mesma cor.

    Wearing Crocks is like playing with death itself
