It's really not that big of a deal. And you look sharp. But then again I cut my hair, shave, and shine my shoes also.
But a lot of this is for passenger perception. If they see you looking sloppy it comes off bad. You all don't have to worry about that soo much.
Seriously----I don't think not wearing a blouse or hat makes you look like a truck driver. I personally think they looked great back in the day but are both out dated today. To each their own.
