[QUOTE="SmithBarney, post: 1171586, member: 709"] Working unload I would have at least one gallon of water outside the trailer, (really it should be closer) I'd refill during our break even then I would lose roughly 5-8lbs of water weight every morning. Working preload, I'd have a little more versatile waterbottle(2or3 32oz each) the kind with a nozzle/nipple, usually sitting on the back shelf of either of the PCs I was loading. Nothing hydrates better than water, the key is hydrating early, making sure when you wake up at 3am(and probably before bed as well, but some folks bladders can't wail all night), you start drinking your first 32oz on the way to work. When you are Hydrated you will see an immediate difference in energy and stamina levels. BTW as a driver, I'd freeze 32oz(old gatorade bottles) and drink them as the melted through the day. As for clothing, I don't know where you all work, but the belt I was on would destroy nylon gym shorts in one day(if they'd make it 1/2day).many people would put tape on their pants to protect them while leaning on the belt. I ended up with something like these: [url=http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10051&storeId=10051&productId=100454&langId=-1&categoryId=10284]Carhartt - Product - Men’s Double-Front Work Short[/url] They are DOUBLE-FRONT WORK SHORT from carhart.(I also had Pants like this for the colder months) As for going commando, NO WAY, much like the no dangly earring policy, no dangly dingle policy here. I have worn compression shorts in the past, but they get warm, My wife found me a brand I really like Terramar, everything is snug and cool, fully ventilated boxer-brief style! Socks, yup socks I have a few pair(not enough to make a week) of LORPEN brand socks, amazing fit, wicking and after a day on my feet I can tell the difference, I hate wearing my regular Hanes socks now. There you have it, I didn't mention shoes, but there are too many fit issues, find what works. [/QUOTE]
