Dress Code...

Of course..the cops might not like my dress code on the truck at night hahahhaha

There is so much I could say right now about cop, uniform, and his accessories but I wont

When I drive, I wear a toga!....what?? You don't wear a toga? Don't judge me! When at the customer I'm usually in a 3 piece suit including a pair of $500 dress shoes.

Oh wait, that was a dream I had, not real life..sorry!

I had my first encounter with a lot lizard on Saturday morning. I was at the Flying J in Birmingham, AL. Came knocking on my door at 3:45 in the morning. I was like WTF do you want. She tried a bit about it being cold (it was, but that is beside the point). I kindly pointed out there was a nice warm truckstop 100 yds away. The part that really irritated me was my alarm was set to go off at 4:30.

I was at that FJ on Thanksgiving!!! I65 six we all just miss each other all the time. Hopefully you wouldn't call me a lot lizard tho hahah

I am always up and down the I-65 corridor. Granted I am sitting off of I-95 in Florida right now. I wouldn't call you that. If you promise not to bite I may even show you some pics of me in my Uniform, lol. I did spend 17 1/2 years in. But you would have to not mind a flight suit. LoL

The humorous replies aside, most of us are representing our employers. And in my case because I am on a dedicated account also representing my customer when delivering to their stores and picking up from their vendors.

I believe many of our employers have a very loose dress code that isn't really enforced unless at a terminal and you show up at the driver's window looking like you spent the last nine hours dumpster diving. Exercise common sense.

My personal approach to this is; "dress professionally". Rather subjective, but I am old school when it comes to this. I take pride in what I do including the image I present to those I interact with.

^^^^ This.

My uniform of the day (pretty much every day ANYWAY) is: clean ****ies Short-Sleeve Pocket work shirt, clean jeans or shorts (usually Wrangler Cargo or plain denim), flips or Steel Toe Timberland Sneakers.

Not driving for a living at the moment, so it's flips.

Think I'd have a pair of dedicated flip flops for the fuel island anyways - so I could toss them behind the seat and not track all that fuel into the cab with me.

I gotta admit, I've never seen the mini-skirts or high heels at the fuel island.

And the only time I've gotten a knock on the door, I called the truck stop right after I told her to go away. The Pilot Manager thanked me & then there was a police "safety check" of the parking lot. 😆

Yes that would be toooo easy

Agreed, if I'm at a company terminal or customer...pickup or delivery...it's jeans, boots and collared shirt....but during the Texas summer it's shorts, T shirt and sneakers the rest of the day.
