Driving Barefoot

I drive barefoot 98% of the time and in sandals 1.5% of the time sneakers or shoes .5%. I typically only wear shoes when I'm fueling, going into a truckstop or into shipper/consignee.

The key to trucking is keeping yourself comfortable during long periods of driving. So I dress for comfort and this includes (lack of) footwear.

 

y'know - this brings up a side topic that caught me completely off guard - despite of research before I started this career: Driver apparel. Not footwear - I think I've already posted on that. Specifically, I'm amazed at the number of drivers wearing shorts. This is a good thing, for me, since I have a lot more shorts than I do long jeans (6:1 ratio - gotta do laundry every week)

Fortunately, most of us don't look completely insane in shorts - though some fishbellies are probably jealous.

I was all set to be the odd-man out, and - in this regard, at least - I'm one with the crowd. I don't know if my ego can take it.

 

Carefull

 

Ocasionally When My Back Is Hurting I Wil Slip One Shoe Off Amd Put That Foot Up On The Seat Under My Other Leg. Great Stretch Without Stopping!!

 

works great until you tell the cop I was sitting on my foot how was I suppose to stop in time????

Baack that's cold dude now my eyes are smarting, how will I ever be able to see the road.

 

Speaking of full, she most certainly filled her shorts! I swear that looks like our local fairgrounds! Shhhhhh! scary!

 

Baak..

That's plain evil. I can't even go hide under my pillow - that image is seared into my retinas.. good thing I've not eaten yet today.

Danc - thanks! I had that link a while back, and lost it.
