SuperTrucker 'Fingerless' Gloves!

No I'm not saying that. I'm not even a member of that cult, I mean church anymore.

 

I agree with you there. It is really easy to get up on your high horse and tell others how to live. The hard part is actually doing it, and doing it without tooting your own horn. Those who scream the loudest about what a good Christian that they are, usually aren't.

 

is that the same with truckers? i was out driving around St. Louis and had my portable cb and heard a swift driver talking about how he was the better driver over another guy. (estes i think)

 

Sorry, the company I work for doesn't install any optional equipment on our trucks. We had to point out that doors and windows are a DOT requirement before we got those.

Seriously, though - you *do* exit the truck on occasion, right? During the day? For dropping/hooking trailers, or maybe that long walk from the back row to the restroom maybe - assuming you don't use a 5-gallon bucket that doubles as a driver's seat

That straw hat can really come in handy when you're walking across the parking lot at the Petro in Kingman on a hot August afternoon...remember, sunburn can occur in as little as 15 minutes in direct sunlight. And sunburn on the scalp is not pleasant, as I learned the hard way.

 

Ok, I just stumbled on this thread and I thought that I'd better toss in my $.02....

I wear the fingerless gloves, but only when I'm fishing in the cold weather

I would much rather see the "Merle Costume" over the latest "trucker slob" fashion of the sweat pants, sweat shirt with the hacked off sleeves, flip flops showing off those 3" yellow toenails and the greasy hair that hasn't seen water in a week or so.

When I think of guys dressing up like cowboys, it reminds me of a skit by George Carlin... Why do guys feel that they need to walk around dressed as a 19th century mythical figure? You don't see people walking around dressed as pirates!

 

i own the fingerless gloves but i wear them mainly when my palms are overly sweaty or if im white knuckle driving (moutianous terrign/bad weather/ect), and my palms are overly sweaty.. right now they are and all im doing is typing on a computer, but i dont wear them all the time.

the black cowboy hat and boots i wear all the time though except when im off duty hometime/34 hr restart i go with company logo hat and tennis shoes since i aint drivin no where.
