Drivers appearance

Contraflow:
I always wear a three-piece suit for work. Sometimes, if I’m going somewhere frequented by agency types, I’ll lose the jacket and just go with the waistcoat and rolled up shirt sleeves for a more casual look.

So you’re one Mumfords sons then :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

I love these comparisons about ‘back in the day’, whilst not that far back in the day I used to rope and sheet/strip tilts down etc. yes I was sweaty by the end but a quick rinse in the loo

hopefully you flushed first?

My work shirts (3 provided by company and then rest I bought myself) are clean on each day.

Jeans get washed with shirts on Friday night.

Never polished my boots.

My high viz is a bit gruby.

But working on muddy sites with a Moffett doesn’t make me want to make the effort to look fabulous.

I like my didas tracky bottoms , sandals and string vest they are very comfortable and I don’t care what people say !

I wear clean polo shirt everyday, and black shorts (for that, overgrown boy look) with clean, bit not polished boots.

I even shave a couple of times a week…

Would love to wear a cravat to work, as it’s more befitting of me title, and station. But I just can’t get on with the damned things…

work trousers never jeans how unprofessional. :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve never seen a driver looking smart ! I must not got to posh enough places !

I get free uniform now but years ago on agency I brought navy blue combats which converted to shorts on those hotter days and several navy polo shirts so always looked reasonably smart and for winter brought a nice big hi-vis jacket, I’m not one to polish shoes that often but always keep them clean.

You speak for yourself mate.

+1 managed to tramp/drive all around Europe without smelling like a tramp or looking unclean and that was living in a sodding Iveco turbostar none of your high roof style modern trucks.

its called forward planning and thinking oh I am passing such and such I will nip in for a break/shower.

Some Premier football managers can look like paraffin lamps, never mind a trufty trucker.

Trufty = rufty/tufty

I do my best to look super scruffy always, let’s my boss think he knows me, wa…

it amazes me what the modern driver can find to complain about in this day and age

you guys will be complaining next about the guys who have to have a dump in there cabs and use newspaper to wrap it up and dump it out of there windows.

are you drivers or what ? :smiley:

Sorry about this robroy but I need to agree with you.

Desypete I’m guessing is a fat lazy prick who doesn’t know how to wash. I do 15 hours days, sleep in my “tin box” but still manage to shower most days, and if not it’s a full basin wash using hot water from the kettle.

I’m also guessing he drives up and down the motorway doing nothing more taxing than opening a couple of buckles one a day.

Sorry if I offend you Mr Pete but that’s my opinion.

Haven’t you heard? Desypete isn’t allowed to drive anymore, he’s making a one man stand against the DCPC. It’s not going too well so far though.

Is anyone else getting PMs from him begging for money or is it just me?

Just you. Can I have money too?

Always proud to wear a uniform

You do know this is TruckNet and not Crimewatch, right?

Only if it’s to pay for 35 hours DCPC training that your dole won’t stretch to.

Some folk have a chip on their shoulder. This bloke has a clock. Could be at worse I suppose. He might not like the letter L
