    No uniform at all. Dress presentable and be hygienic. I believe you are not allowed facial piercings or offensive tattoos but that is it. Tattoo policy is a common sense basis, I have a 16 inch by 5 inch on my leg they have no issues because it is non-offensive in nature. If you are of the younger generation like myself than a few things to keep in mind that no one on the road likes to see.
    -Baggy pants sagging to your knees
    -staind shirts
    - NO SANDALS (company policy)
    -no offensive t-shirts
    -no excessively ripped jeans/ t-shirts ( use your judgment I own some diesel and lucky brand jeans with rips that came that way and there is no issue)

    Please remember it's a profession so dress "business very casual" but not college dorm room casual

    ya I am 33 the younger generation and currently going to school to get my CDL and I don't wear saggy pants and offensize t-shirts I like sandles in the summer but I can live without them and I don't wear trashing clothes and shower regularly, I would wear jeans and t-shirts and shorts and t-shirts in the summer with boots or tennnis shoes, I got me a 12" by 6" tat on my leg so its good to hear they don't care and I got a brow eye ring I can remove it if need be no big deal. thanks for the info

    Uniforms are not required by Con-Way truckloads. Company shirts can be purchased in the company store in Joplin. I wear them because they are only ten bucks (cheap for a shirt) and I can take them off my taxes. Many drivers wear sandals but most customers require closed toe footwear.
    Remember that you represent not only yourself but a company to the public. So show some pride. The respect you give is the respect you get.

    I agree I'm not really the dress up type put I am not a piece of trash either I wear alot of skull tshirts and band tshirts and don't wear anything with holes unless I am at home doing work or what ever, I got a few dress shirts I will keep with me just in case and will only wear sandles when driving and change shoes before dropping loads. Thanks

    I heard the reason Conwaygirl has been so quiet is someone told on her and she went to Bad Girl Driver Jail because of her footwear. No, really. I heard that.
