    Ouch... Better than asking why there are two long nose trucks in the same photo ... Certainly not an Areo Truck for sure.

    Dang... Beat me to it. Guess I need to read all the new messages before I reply to something.

    Maybe I am wrong but I thought that the flies on pants were in the front side... {shivers}

    I wear Haines t-shirts, black or blue and walmart brand blue jeans and work boots and a ball cap. At the end of the day after I eat and shower I put a white shirt sweatpants and a pair of slip on sketchers for comfort. And then change back into work clothes before I roll out. When it's cold I'll wear sweats under my blue jeans and a hoodie with a dickies work coat over that. I don't care what anyone else wears as long as it fits. But flip flops at the fuel island or driving, that's just stupid IMO. I don't care who you are but when feet are touching the rubber on a pair of sandals or flip flops it starts to smell. And I don't wanna smell your foot stank while I'm eating or any other time for that matter.

    You got that right, as I discovered in a similar situation over on Snoqualmie Pass one morning.

    However, when the lot lizards come calling on you at the truck stops, then everything is fair game and don't forget that whatever happens at a truck stop STAYS at the truck stop. In other words, you might want to keep your finest suit in the back in case one of those sweet ladies comes visiting your rig. :)

    I don't understand the flip flop thing. Do you change into shoes before going into a customer? Do you fuel in flip flops?
    Just curious. I know where I work you're not allowed to wear them driving or at any customer facility.
