Passenger seat removal ?

I've never had anyone bother me but I've heard of some guys even getting in trouble for removing the seat belt webbing in the sleeper even though they run single just because "it came from the factory that way".
I guess I'll cross that bridge if it ever happens.

 

As long as there is no damage it "should" not be a problem for any company. But that would be asking them to be reasonable... heheheheee

I might have modified a few things in my company truck. But nothing that can not be undone in a few moments. And nothing that Safety would give me points for doing.

I have a mid-roof volvo that has very little storage compared to a double berth truck. I would love to take the passenger seat out to make room for the fridge. But I am not going to do that much work.

Lots of guys pull the seat to make room to store a bike.

That what sleepers are for.

 

Just wondering how would u mount a mini fridge to the seat thing or could u uninstall that piece?

 

CLTL and Matlack Company Macks circa 1970 had a 50.cal ammo box for the snow chains instead of a passenger seat and later on a custom wooden box to hold pillows and blankets for those 'across the seat' layovers...My training tractor was our only tractor with a passenger seat

 

A folding passenger seat with or without a storage box under it used to be an option on a lot of vintage trucks. My ‘72 White 4000 had one. Bottom folded up you could stand on floor and walk out the passenger door. Then that option disappeared as every seat needed to be air ride.

 

4 bolts to take it out, and to disconnect the air lines to the seat and plug them off if it is an air seat. But consider this:
If you are removing the passenger seat on a company truck, and you don't get permission, when you bring the truck in for a PM and the mechanic sees its missing, this could cause you problems

 

Seriously? It's 4 bolts and the seat belt attachment bolt. Man, hope you don't need to check your oil.

 

My first company truck was a 2014 Kenworth T660, and I took out the passenger seat (with the approval and assistance of our mechanic) to put in a fridge. That seat was mounted on top of the battery box, and I strapped the fridge to the box. Worked great.

 

Can u remove that seat base that’s sticking up? Or how do u mount the mini fridge? Lol
