Drivers wearing company logo clothing...

[BIG JEEP on 44's]

Sure seems to be a bias against sweat pants here. I've been driving for 15 years, and wore sweats the last 11. Why? I drive local construction. I found that sweats were more comfortable than jeans. I also found that I would rather ruin a $10-15 pair of sweats than a $45-60 pair of jeans. Just makes cents to me, but I guess you otr guys have more money to burn on being a fashion model than I do.

I got nothing against sweat pants , But if you hate the company you drive for why would you go to their company store , and spend $$$money$$$ on their wears ,and then be a walking billboard for the employer you can hardly tolerate ? plus from what I've seen the company clothing is nothing more than Hanes or jersey brand clothes with Company Logo on it ...You can buy non company logo stuff at WALLY-WORLD much cheaper .

Fashion? No, ecomomy and professionalism. Dickies pants or similar at wallyworld for under $20 per pair or the flea market for used work clothes. So what if someone else wore them, they get washed before I put them on.

Leave the sweat pants for the gym, they make you look too lazy to get dressed or too lazy to drop a few pounds so your pants fit again.

As far as company clothes goes if you do not feel like a team player enough to sport the company logo then MOVE ON TO ANOTHER JOB.

Wearing sweat pants while just driving is OK with me. But I never wear them when in contact with the customers. Just looks like crap and unprofessional. I will change into a decent polo shirt and some nice looking Columbia brand sorts or cargo pants, no not the baggy ones with a gazillion pockets. I find I am treated a lot better by customers than the billy big rigger with stains all over the shirt he hasn't washed in weeks, wearing stained sweats with holes.

Personally, I wear Phat Farm/Roca Wear/Akademics/Enyce, but when I'm at work, those threads are safely sittin in the closet at home... all pressed and ready to go!!! I buy Dickies for the job! I got a couple pair of Dickie pants/shorts/shirts.... and then when winter hits ... I roll with a Dickie/Carhart combo!

Columbia makes nice stuff, but a little pricey. Here's a thrifty tip for clothes shopping including Columbia brand: There is a store named Belk throughout the south in most malls and when they change seasonal stocks they mark down stuff to give away prices. Nice button down short sleeves for 4-8 bucks, polo shirts, pants, shorts.

well at most mega carriers one would have to be fairly slow in the head to actually feel like a member of a "TEAM" . however one must put in their time at these places in order to move on . But to actually be Dumb enough to beleive you're a "VALUED" member of a team that is appreciated and cared for that's another thing , But hey if it were not for those that are that gullable there wouldn't be any companies pumping their O/O and Lease programs , as their wouldn't be anyone dumb enough to fall for it .

Heck, I am that guy that is too lazy to go to the gym. I have to buy at the big and tall; the only pants at wallyworld that fit me are sweats. None of our customers seemed to doubt my professionalism just because I wore sweats. Maybe that was because they knew my work ethic and were not running a fashion show.

Yeah Columbia can be a little on the high side. But I usually buy it on end of season clearance sale at Bass Pro or Cabelas. Even REI has good prices sometimes.

Well I remember a driver that ran over a car and the legs of 2 employees at one customer , but when he got out of the cab sporting his freshly pressed hagar slacks an vanheusen dress shirt , and proceeded to pull out his pack of Mento's they just smiled complimented him on his prefessional appearance , and dragged their fallen Co-workers back up to the docks ,and proceeded to un-load him , And when loaded had his hand shook by the management .
