    Things not mentioned... pants that hang on your thighs with ALL of your boxers showing, and a ######..

    But seriously, personally I wear jeans, boots (I'm personally more comfortable in boots than any other footwear), and a decent looking shirt, be it collared or not, is my normal attire. On days I'm at a customer, I tend to dress more professional and wear a collared shirt. We really need to break the trucker appearance stereotype, which goes beyond what we are wearing. .

    I am sure you get it by now that you can wear just about what ever you want. Very few companies (ex fed ex, ups, to name a few) have a dress code. That being said dont dress like a slob. Sweat pants have a place usually in a fire. That is a big problem with the industry is the lack of self respect. I am not going to say I always look my best , but I dont usually look like crap either. Its all about comfort some people just take that too far.

    summer- cargo shorts, t shirt or long sleeve. Winter- pants, jacket, boots, head wear. Also like to wear company shirts hats as my own little personal uniform. Professional, and clean.


    I dont wear flip flops that's just rediculous. Although I do see about 6 out of 10 drivers wearing them.

    I'm thinking flip flops, loincloth, and a beer gut. Saves on gas mileage.
