So I guess my only big decision now is do I dress like the drivers I see nowdays in sweatpants, sneakers, wife beater, and baseball cap or do I go old school with the jeans, western type button down shirt, cowboy boots and a mesh cap? Wrangler Jeans Vest flannel shirt ...sleeves cut off "Winter DRESS" with vest WhitE hanes -T sleeves cut off (summer dress" with vest "BIG " turqoise belt buckle Soiled Catapillar ball cap Boots -anything "Cowboy -ISH " these are the basics , and should get you buy , But dressing any thing less might have more seasoned drivers thinking you have sugar in your tank ....Oh and if you have wife or girl friend it might me wise to start practicing calling her "YER OL' LADY" now .

Thanks for all the input guys, even though I was kinda joking around.
I figure almost anything goes for in the truck driving and being comfortable (besides, whose going to know if I am wearing pants with the cab being so far above car traffic.) Going skateboard so steel toed shoes is a definate when at a pick up or drop off, and ALWAYS a clean shirt with a collar when anywhere near the customers (or bosses). I do like the suggested 'Git R Done' hat so I am going to hop on Ebay and find one of those tonight.

As far as ironing the birthday suit, well I'm only 45 so I shouldn't have to worry about that for another 15 years or so.
