do truckers use special gloves to prevent hand fatigue?

i chain my cargo down, throw a tarp over it if I don't want to look at it. You?

Somewhere, some bleeder is thinking, "That poor child. That evil bus driver is mercilessly beating a poor defenseless child. He's so wrong. He took the law in his own hands! They should throw him in jail forever. Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!"

I see "He's preying on the weak. He deserves death. Protect the herd."

And the bleeders will say, "Six, you sadist evil person! You would kill an unarmed child?"

I would protect the herd from predators. Its what men do.

And the bleeder would all scream, "Bleed Six! Bleeeeeeeeeeeeed!!!"

Nope. I will just stay away from buses.

 

Hahaha now those are some vest!

 

Wearing gloves too much will make your hands too soft. Now if you hang out in Hollywood, the Beltway or upper crust New York society that might be a good thing but come on, you're a truck driver now. Take pride in well calloused, rough sandpaper hands. Soak your hands in horse urine and vinegar, punch a boxing bag 500 times a day and plunge your hands knife syle into 150 degree barrel of pebbles til it turns into a barrel of sand.

 

When buying driving gloves be sure to get same color as your truck.. it looks so kool and fashionable.. don't forget those driving flip flops though or it won't look right

 

Surprisingly for me after working in the trades for close to 20 years and doing auto repair work on the side my hands are pretty smooth. Maybe it's all the oil i absorbed into my hands i guess i have mobil1 hands. Maybe when i get older my skin will just flake off like a biscuit.

 

Hey Scotty, i just went and picked up my kid at school, in sandles... its 28 f outside.... am i super trucker?

 

I drive with my knees while I'm texting.

 

I only drive with my knees eating taco bell and pizza. gotta grab that slice with 2 hands

 

Do you guys wear kneepads to protect your knees?

 

Go to a sporting goods store and look for golf gloves.
