<P>OTR Truckers can wear shorts and short sleeves.</P> <P>Just not around the main ternimal. I worked for an outfit years ago and came out of the south Gulf Coast where it was 110+ for days. It was a balmy 90 in Williamsport. Everyone inside the office were choking on suits and slacks. I got chewed out because someone has to say something with the "Official dress code" Reality sometimes demand proper clothing to stay cool or warm.</P> <P>The heaviest thing besides lumping beef and seafood is pulling 5th wheels and sliding tandems. Some of the parts will go thru your body should they fail. Long pants or not. Especially on flatbed work.</P> <P>I look at our Military in Iraq and other places wearing armor and carrying almost half thier own weight on other stuff in that heat. I salute them.</P>
