The company provides the uniforms.
Purchasing the socks, is (kind of) a requirement since the inception of shorts.
(which is loosely enforced)
"Effective May 1, 1994, short uniform trousers will be provided as an option for package and feeder drivers at no cost to the employee. Such shorts may only be worn in compliance with uniform and appearance standards established by the Employer."

And I do mean "loosely enforced".
The company policy was "no tattoos".... but they changed that.
