    Maybe @Chinatown has compiled a list of those that don't.

    I think those Provost busses are high enough riders can see everything if you are driving naked.

    Questions like this are what trucking has become, certainly not traditional as a representative of the company

    I’m only in my 3rd year. But honestly I stopped caring what others look like or if the think I look appropriate or not. I feel free now since I don’t care. If I want to jump out of my truck in shorts and flip flops, I hope it does bother everyone. If it’s hot and I wanna wear no shirt, I hope somebody is offended! Maybe I’ll wear a speedo next.

    No law against it; just as there's no law requiring white sheets on your bunk.
    I never go without a shirt, even at home. Wouldn't wear a sleeveless shirt at home or in public.
    Just depends on what you're comfortable with. Don't wear a sleeveless shirt where food is served because it looks gross and unsanitary.

    I have to wear very baggy clothes. Got some quirk where I dont adapt to clothing. I can feel it on me at all times. Cant have anything around my neck or arm pits, it drives me nuts. I change my clothes like 5 times a day. I have an outfit I can stand wearing for each task but I cant mix them. My computer desk outfit cannot be worn while driving. People always ask me what is up with you and clothes? Or they sarcastically say that I am the pinnacle of fashion.

    Can't help it, my sense of touch is all out of wack. I don't like bright lights either. Loves is too bright inside. Petro is better environment for me.

    I understand the bright lights. I wear sunglasses day and night. Even driving trucks I keep the sun visors down at night and dim the interior lights. In restaurants at night I look for a table without a light shining down on it.
    I don't wear short sleeved shirts outside the home unless I have a long sleeve pullover underneath.

    No law against it. Doesn’t mean you should. Really don’t want to see moobs jumping all over the place while I’m passing you on a crappy road.
