Cotton is your first mistake.
All seriousness, go with wool or polypropylene for the underlayer win.
*Does UPS offer Gore Tex vests or jackets?

Nothing underneath. Not even underwear.
Crank up the heat in the cab. Get out and QUICKLY lower trailer landing gear, pull air lines and pull 5th wheel and quickly hop back in cab. No layers needed

I'd be sweating bullets if I wore all of that in 30 degrees.And... it's +30°friend. Dunno how yall Northerners do it
Today it is 16 degrees and I just have pants, a shirt, a hat, and a jacket. Anything colder and I break out the gloves. Below 5 is when I consider wearing under armour. Mostly depends on the wind. If it's below 0 I always wear under armour.
You really learn to appreciate layers when the average temperature in January is 12.

I wear shorts all year around, even if it gets down into the 20's or teens. The only time I wear pants is if it is snowing, which usually only happens a few times each winter. In December of 2013 it got down to 8 degrees once which is about the coldest it has ever been here, and I wore shorts. I am hardcore.

I was walking around yesterday in short sleeve T-shirt and the Nanooks were pointing at me and telling to put some clothes on. It was 37 degrees and a little wind ... it felt refreshing to me.

Everyday no matter if it's 30° or 10° below zero.
If I'm still working at night and it below zero or very close I will wear UPS brown beanie but that's only on rare occasions. I near where a coat but I will bring one with me on really cold days just ion case I break down.

We have had a record breaking coldest, numerous record setting cold, even my Diad kept freezing and I have tried numerous gloves that should work with it but don't so I wear work gloves with rubber and cut off the thumb n forefinger off. I have a one piece full under armor zip up and turtleneck long sleeve shirt and heavy jacket and still trying to find a hat for my big head that doesn't itch like crazy!! It's finally going to be above freezing next week for weeks I may break out the shorts!!! I honestly can handle the cold better than the hot summer heat, props to all the southerners, you guys are troopers!
Good boots and layers of socks. If your feet get cold,you are done.
