The Pre Trip Is Not Optional: Truck Driver Hoodie
The Pre Trip Is Not Optional: Truck Driver Hoodie
The pre trip is the inspection a driver does before the wheels turn. Lights, brakes, air, tires, the fifth wheel, the load securement, and then a signed report of anything he found. It is the part of the job most likely to get rushed and the only part that will hurt somebody if it is.
Read cold, it sounds like packing advice. Passport, phone charger, a man who is fussy about preparation before a family holiday. People are completely certain it is about a vacation, and they are pleased with themselves for spotting it.
Stamped as a driver vehicle inspection report with DEFECTS RECORDED AND SIGNED beneath, set like a posted rule on a shop wall. This is the one a worried spouse or a mother reaches for without being told to, because it says out loud that he is careful.
What it is
- Unisex heavy blend hoodie, 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²)
- 50% pre-shrunk cotton, 50% polyester, spun from air-jet yarn, which is what makes it feel soft and keeps it from pilling
- Double-lined hood with a matching drawcord, and a front pouch pocket
- 1x1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex, and double-needle stitching at the collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs and hem
- Quarter-turned body, cut that way so there is no crease down the middle
- Sizes S through 3XL
- Eleven colors. Four light ones printed in near black ink, seven dark ones printed in cream
How it is made
Custom printed in the USA. Every hoodie is printed here, one at a time, on a heavyweight fleece blank woven overseas.
Nothing is printed until you order it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets thrown away.
Getting it to you
Free US shipping on orders $45 and up. Under that it is a flat $8.00. We make it after you order it, which takes 2 to 5 business days, and it then takes 3 to 4 business days to reach you from a US facility. Most orders arrive in 5 to 9 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the label is created.
Care
Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print.
The White colorway
White on this hoodie reads as a soft off-white rather than a bright white. That is the blended fabric doing it, and it is expected rather than a fault.
