    IIRC, the Werner recruiters told us there was no dress code.

    I always have and always will dress in a black t-shirt, blue jeans, belt, and redwing work boots.
    You need to look presentable and not like these stained shirt, torn ripped shorts, flip flops, hair a mess cause you just rolled outta the bunk and haven't showered in 3 weeks, bad attitude having ########.

    Wife beaters are also out cause you just look like a douche when you wear them. Yes anyone who wears them.

    Just picked up a pair of wolverine steel toe shoes. I'll tell you what, these are one well made pair of work boots.

    My personal generic outfit is black polo or shirt over jeans or slacks with socks and shoes (non-open toe). Some places may require you to wear work boots with reinforced toes to be on their property or dock. Other places may require high-visibility vests or safety glasses or a helmet. These are good things to have on hand because you don't know who wore the lender glasses or helmet before you do.

    Flip flop on one foot, work boot on the other, says you're here to work but you like to party. Get a pair of jeans and cut them to make them into shorts, cut them real high that way you're more aerodynamic when you drive, the company will benefit from the increase in fuel mileage so you get more bonuses every week. As far as shirts, get a t shirt and cut the sleeves off. Then write your name with a permanent marker on the tag that way everyone knows who you are.

    Last but not least you are going to be required not to shower for at least 6 days, just take your showers on your 34 hour reset.







    Just kidding, no dress code, just dress appropriately and professionally

    Footwear determines the overall look. You can go one of two ways:
    Ghetto

    Or Concrete Cowboy

    Actually it makes no difference because in six months after eating from the hot deli at Pilot/ Flying J and not missing out on any 2-KING SIZE candy bars for $2.50 or 2-slices of piazza plus 6 wings for $9.99 or 2 breakfast sandwiches will get you 20 cents off your coffee or how about a half dozen cinnabons for the road-

    all you'll want to wear will be sweat pants.

    Welcome to the eight day week.
