    Majority of the time, i wear black jeans, black boots with small heal (makes me a lil taller, easier to reach peddals the way i want) , tshirt, and belt. sometimes i wear sweats and tennis shoes but not often. I am a shorty and drive a kw w9 so i need the extra height lol.

    I prefer to wear shorts and sleeveless t-shirts. But I agree that when you make your delivery, better clothing is more appropriate. unless you are unloading the truck yourself.

    Bronco,
    I wear shorts , T-shirt ,sneakers or hiking boots ( preferably steel toe boots) in the summer. Jeans long sleeved shirt and boots in the winter . Make sure you get your self a good warm jacket that is rugged for the winter. I personally wear one of those green Carharrt hooded work jackets and it works out really well. Not to mention it's darker green so dirt does not show up on it. Make sure you keep yourself showered and shaved and well groomed at all times if possible. You will get treated more respectfully at shippers and receivers. Someone in an above post said for you to wear something you won't mind getting dirty. If your going to be running dry van general commodities no touch freight there really shouldn't be a reason to get dirty. Unless your going to be running a flat bed then your going to want to get yourself a set of cover alls. A nice light set for the summer and a heavier set of Carharrts for the winter but that is up to you. When I run the road I am clean all the time and so is my truck. There are going to be those times when you might end up going a couple days with out a shower. Sometime you get stuck places once in a while and that's just the way it goes... Anyways I hope this helped you...God Bless you !
