    Another reason to wear this (I have found) is it gives
    you extra pockets for cell phone and wallet in the front.
    If you sit on a fat wallet it hurts after a while and
    putting it in a hip pocket increases the chances it
    will fall out with loose pants. Secure it in the thigh
    pocket.

    They'd have to be honest to do that. Never happen.

    I can't even stand my skinny wallet or even the fuel card by itself. Money is comfortable to sit on though, unless you have too much of it.

    Just the ones with pictures of their kids, Dot card,
    company gas card, credit cards, Pictures of their
    wife, CDL etc. Not as bad as the old days I guess
    when you may carry a license from NY, TX, and
    CA also....:biggrin_25525:

    I drove alot just mostly to and from plants, as I was an Industrial mechanic before and I havent even started my CDL class A training yet, but I always prefered dickies, just dont buy them too tight, they tend to run smaller in their sizing. I'm 6' 1" and 291lbs.
