Truck drivers need to wear comfortable clothes that fit well so they can drive without distraction. They also need to wear clothes that look professional, and sometimes they need clothes that enhance their safety. Find the right work outfit with these dressing tips for truck drivers on the job.

1. T-Shirts, Long Sleeves, Sweatshirts

Short- and long-sleeve shirts in solid colors are a great choice every time. Consider dressing in breathable fabric that wicks moisture and keeps you dry all day.

Pack a second layer, such as a sweatshirt, flannel, or sweater, for colder temperatures. This second layer can be one that you’d wear at home, but a high-visibility top is a functional alternative. Modern hi-vis hoodies keep you safe when you step out of your truck, and they come in a variety of designs, so you can choose one in a style you like.

2. Rain Jacket or Winter Coat

Protect yourself from precipitation, wind, and cold weather with a rain jacket or winter coat. Waterproof material will prevent rain from soaking through, and storm flaps on jackets prevent rain from entering the jacket opening.

A hi-vis rain jacket protects you from the elements and makes you easier to see in low-visibility conditions. Just remember to avoid common cleaning mistakes when washing your hi-vis gear to keep your items effective and looking their best for a long time.

3. Pants

Another dressing tip for truck drivers on the job is to have jeans and sweatpants available. When you’re resting in the truck, sweatpants are a great option because they have a relaxed fit.

When it comes to jeans, choose durable pants that don’t have tears and holes. They allow you to look professional when interacting with shippers and receivers, but they aren’t restrictive and stiff.

4. Footwear

Finally, pack different types of footwear for different tasks. Wear protective work boots for pre-trip and post-trip inspections and daily driving. Slip into sneakers when you’re walking around or exercising.

Truck stop showers are clean and safe, and attendants periodically disinfect the stalls. But you should wear water-resistant shower shoes, such as flip flops, to avoid possible fungal infections.
