    I have interviews over the next 2 days for oilfield truck driving jobs and am not sure what kind of attire i should wear. thinking about just a polo shirt with khaki pants.

    thoughts/suggestions?

    Nothing........Nothing at all..............Oilfields..hmm...Certainly wouldn't overdress. Steel toes, nice jeans, and a polo. Honestly I don't think they'll be that into your apparel as long as you don't look homeless.

    And a Hardhat and Safety vest might be a nice touch. Show up like your ready to get with it.

    Satin Blouse wouldn't fit in with the MANLY Oil Field Crowd! But I bet you looked the part!

    If it's just an office interview, your choice sounds fine. If they are taking you out to the work site, I'm sure they would've mentioned it and warned that you'd need your work boots and safety gear. The place I'm working for now, didn't tell me to bring safety gear until orientation.
