I would rather be cold, wet and miserable than use an umbrella. Flipflops? Not in a million years. If I was barefoot in the snow at 30 below I might possibly try on a pair off shoes but not before. Steel toe or #### kickers for work. And polished up #### kickers for play.
Why am I the only trucker to use an umbrella?

Is that a tinfoil hard hat underneath?

Not sure if some guys are only joking or misunderstood, but I am referring to using an umbrella while walking long distances. Not to use it while working if you are a flatbedder or car hauler.
NavigatorWife and austinmike Thank this. -
I do have an umbrella at home and in my personal vehicle . Like someone said the older I get the less I care what anyone thinks. Function over form.
I bought a new one recently, things ain't cheapOrangees and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
I don't use a umbrella because I'm not a
, just kidding, I've kept a umbrella in my truck for that same reason, if another doesn't like it? I couldn't care less
NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
I'm amazed at how stupid most people are. Some of you seem angry that someone would use an umbrella to keep dry while walking across a parking lot instead of looking proud stupid and wet walking across a parking lot. "I WOULD RATHER WALK BAREFOOT IN THE SNOW THAN......" what the #### do flip flops, snow, and steel toe boots have to do with staying dry under an umbrella? You must be the same guy who looks angry when you see me taking a nice brisk walk around the truck stop parking lot to stay healthy because your sitting in your truck with your steel toe boots on

???? Not real sure how you connected the dots on this one but dang you nailed it. Have you ever thought of working for the FBI psychic division? I guess I am a stupid, angry, jogger hater. Lots of things I can think of to say but I will save my breath and wish you a "good day" sir.Bob Dobalina and rank Thank this.

You don't need an umbrella when you're always wearing a hoodie. Right?

Trucking is the most "fake-macho" job you can possibly get. They look at you weird because anything that's not what the stereotypical Chuck Norris would do is just wrong.
Me, personally, I don't use an umbrella, but that's because I really like the rain. Unless I'm on my forklift, I hate sitting on a wet seat, no matter how wet I am
