I just found this thread, I've been in Victoria since late last year. The story I heard is that when the account was just getting started, when none of the local gas stations knew we were around, one of our guys stopped at the Stripes gas station on 59 to get a soda, and as he was walking out a couple cars' worth of cops accosted him. Apparently someone actually did call the cops to report an escaped convict walking around!

Also one night I was down in Port Lavaca and needed some cash. I had parked the truck a lot over and ran to the ATM. As I ran up there was a guy getting his cash out. He gave me a look like, "Come on over by me and I will cap you."
I heard one driver put his driver number on the back of his old Nomex as a joke. Also use to clip my H2S monitor right on my chest and run errands. It looked like a tracking device.
Then there were the constant jokes by other truckers. I just laughed with them because I knew how ridiculous I looked. -

B.G. no head, only Hard-Hat & Face Shield ( or NIOSH-approved particulate filtering facepiece respirators) then maybe the nose if one is wearing safety-glasses instead .....
R.D. - funny, I have been in enough situations that I have seen a few things like that though not as good as what you are citing, "Public Safety" for such operational areas for me has one's primary involvement not to arise concerns on the part of routine citizens and local population due to safety-suits looking twilight-zone & I have had one situation where "citizen" expressed concern to municipal officer because of stumbling at the pump (retail) due to exhaustion and heating ~ this is actually a very valid concern in areas booming like this -

Hey pokerperv, I was talking to you a little bit back about a local school by us here in Michigan. I'm glad to see you've made the choice to try to make your way down to Texas. That's the route I've decided to go as well. Good luck and be safe!
