Trucking has become and industry where people just "end up". The glorified homeless and the desperate for work have become the majority I'm afraid. The industry has only itself to blame. When your biggest recruiting tool is stressing non-conformity and having no boss and no one "breathing down your neck all day" the standards head for the cellar. I get a kick out of the infomercials about making your living while working in your pajamas, there are too many drivers who take them literally.

I rememeber when most fleets required drivers to wear decent, suitable clothes and be presentable.

The main thing is to buy quality proven shoes, not some consumer products, replicas, etc. It's just that nowadays, China has flooded the market with all kinds of copies of products, especially shoes, and I am very surprised why companies do nothing to secure their products. For example to tie their brand through https://collectid.io/ to NFC technology, so that in case of purchase, the customer could at any time check the authenticity of the goods. I think that would be fair.
