    You always what? tell us!!!!!!!!!!!!





    Hahahah



    On topic though I wear basketball shorts and running shoes. Unless I'm in the snow then it's boots. I cannot stand driving in any kind of shoe besides running shoes. Even working around the step deck it's self. Tried it with jeans and boots next day I was in sweats and running shoes... Close enough

    Wow. Nice rant guess I hit a nerve. Don't want you to dress nice and for others. Want flat bedders to dress for the job at hand.

    Safety vest? Hard hat? Just to tie down and tarp? What are you afraid of?

    I'd be embarrassed to be seen looking like a slob who can't dress myself. Have some self respect, and don't forget others have to look at your lazy rear hanging out of those athletic clothes that you probably don't use for working out in.

    Take away the socks, add cargo shorts or bermuda shorts and thats pretty much how I dress when home.

    Haters gonna hate,. but I'll be out on the grill enjoying the beautiful weather Fla has to offer while most of you are shoveling your sidewalks this winter.

    Plus I like to drive in my socks (No shoes or boots) or no socks with my sandals on. My feet get hot and stink from sweat if I drive with boots or sneakers on. I prefer comfort.

    I always have the proper 'PPE' when loading or working. Never catch me with flip flops or sandals on while on my deck. Once loaded,.. I'm getting comfortable.

    I wear running shoes when driving, loading or unloading, wear my steel toe boots when/where required. I can't stand driving with my steel toes on, movement feels to restricted and at the end of the day my feet stink from not getting any air.

    I've tarpped in 90 degree weather in full coveralls. Hot as hell. But I was clean when I was done.

    My steel toes are the only footwear I've got in my truck. I don't have the time or patience to be switching between shoes and boots, so I learned fast to get comfortable in my boots.

    Long jeans year round, regardless of heat. Hate shorts with a passion, so my legs could probably be used as stand-ins for the local lighthouse.

    Hard hat and vest when getting unloaded, along with a long sleeve shirt as required. Once loaded, I throw a bit of securement at it and get outside to make it pretty, unless there's rain. Then I fully secure, chuck the tarp on and grab the corners so the wheels don't snag'em and get outside to make it pretty. Can't stand the drivers who insist on making everything perfect and pretty before they get the heck outta the way!

    Hard hat and vest get tossed into the cab once I'm outside.
