    Nope, can’t do it, won’t do it.

    As far as I’m concerned work boots are part of a driver’s uniform and I won’t be caught dead any other way.

    If I wore socks and shoes driving 8-10 hours everyday I'd have a laundry bag full of stinking socks and at least 1 pair of stinking shoes and 1 pair of stinking boots in the truck.

    Going barefoot my boots and shoes don't stink at all when I need to use them.

    Boots outside the truck, canvas slip-ons for driving, nothing in the back. I tried socks/barefoot driving, but didn't like it, in part because in the winter I still need something on my feet.

    More than likely, it is probably illegal to take any girl under 16 across state lines, unless you are her parent, (mother or father), or her legal guardian, with or without footwear.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Bottom line is this:
    It is best to be fully dressed, footwear included, in case one has to get out of their truck or car immediately. This could be due to an accident or instructions from a law enforcement officer.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Look at all that crud on the floor.

    Dirt, mud, dried piss flakes and spit out chewing tobacco. Who knows else what.
