    They have it even worse than I do. I only have to raise ONE door. ;)

    I use chemical gloves for fueling. Whatever rubbery coating they have. Like them better.
    I found Kinco gloves to be much more value than others. Find them at Runnings, Tractor Supply, Bomgaars, etc.
    Here's Buffalo.... you like leather...

    The roll up doors appeal to my lazy side... I do not have to get off the truck and open those.

    One common carrier that I need to refill the doors for shipping/day shift is all roll ups. Another is mostly roll ups, I try to leave their swing doors in the yard.

    It depends. My daily drivers are Rainbow Sandals luxury leather with the single arch support. They’re about $50 in any retail surf shop. A pair will last about a year worn everyday.

    My shower sandals are brand called Surfah. Mostly found in foodland in the north shore or most Hawaiian style shops. These are about $8 and will wear out quicker than a tarp monkey using an eraser on a pencil.

    I really wish I was kidding but I’m not. LOL

    LOL.

    I love watching tarp monkeys back. It reminds how good Van drivers are at it.

    Well. I’ll be in AZ mañana. I’ll be living like a king at the Eloy Petro as long as the restaurant is open. Only supposed to be 96°. I feel lucky.

    The best glives I've ever had were made by Yellowstone Glove Co. The ones I preferred were double palmed, fullgrain elkhide, and Kevlar stitched. I used them for welding but they were just good work gloves. I cant find those on the web site, but this is a link to the cowhide version.

    https://yellowstonegloves.com/product/double-palm-premium-cowhide/

    I used to buy them from a guy that came around with a trailer setup like a little store selling nothing but gloves... Maybe he custom ordered them for his business. But i do know Yellowstone Glove Co. Makes some of the best work gloves on the market and I have been wearing them my whole life.

    They used to give you like 5 pairs of gloves in trade for an elk or deer skin... Now its only 1 pair.
