    A driver dressed like that shouldn’t expect to be taken seriously.

    It's quite offensive in most social settings. Guys who apparently think their feet are attractive are wrong in their thinking. It's especially offensive in any place where food is being served.

    I'm all about comfort while driving. I wear slip off shoes,(no laces), that I slip off when getting in my truck. No way I'm carrying the nastiness of a truck stop parking lot into my truck! I wear shorts or Levi's jeans with a t shirt. I typically shower and shave 6-7 days each week. I always look presentable to the public or the customer. I honestly don't care what some driver thinks about my appearance, especially when some look like they're homeless. But I wouldn't ever wear flip flops in public out of respect for myself and others.

    @18 wheels of fury is correct. There is no dress code. Neat and clean is important. And in my opinion, flip flops are a no-no.

    What I wear depends on what I’m doing that particular day.

    If I’m loading/unloading it’s boots, Duluth work pants, and a plain t-shirt of some kind. Gotta look respectable for the customers, right?

    If it’s just a travel day I’ll wear whatever I want as long as it’s comfortable. Most of the time it’s gym shorts, a Grunt Style t-shirt or maybe a sleeveless shirt, and sandals or tennis shoes. If I’m just driving all day and my only contact with the public is getting food or fuel at a truck stop then why does it matter what I’m wearing as long as I’m clean?

    Wearing cowboy boots doesn’t make you a cowboy. Wearing flip-flops doesn’t make you a beach bum. Stop worrying about what kind of clothes everyone is wearing. As long as a person is clean and respectful then who cares if he or she wears Nike basketball shorts or Levi jeans?
