    It's expected in this industry. I personally wear jeans boots and a sweatshirt. But with they way the megas hire anyone with a pulse they don't care if they wear flip flops, have there pants below there ankles or even where a shirt as long as they get to where the need to be on time and delivery on time. Customers pay for the freight to be moved not what the movers look like. However there are companies out there that want to have a good look overall.

    I too am with the op, I wear t-shirts sometimes that are a few years old but at least they're clean and wrinkle free.

    Sometimes when I'm in the truck I'll wear sweats or something casual like that but I guess I'm weird because even if it's just to get fuel I'll throw on my blue jeans

    Personally I take a little bit of pride in my appearance. It's a sign of self respect if you ask me.
