Yes they are, but some trucks are a rougher ride then others so it can be a problem from time to time. I had a Freightliner as my first truck and it was an ok ride. Never really had a sore back or anything, same with my peterbuilt. My Volvo I drive now is a very rough ride and I can be a little stiff after driving for 10 hours from time to time. If I am sore I will get out and stretch my back out. Helps a bit.

Well that kinda depends on the seat , I just bought a new one and it's quite comfy but when they get wore out its like sitting on a rock pile .
JReding, bigmotor1212 and rabbiporkchop Thank this. -
Thanks for the info. Haven't seen anything about truck seats in here. So I thought I would ask.

International seats & steering wheels suck mega balls.
Tiny little crap pedals like a freightliner.
Find ya a kw with a big ole brake pedal comfy seat & soft steering wheel. Mmmmmm.
Sleepers are better in the first trucks I mentioned. But whatever.KriegHund and lagbrosdetmi Thank this. -
Well the pedal thing not big deal if one is a fleet driver they just hold it on the floor anyway lolrabbiporkchop Thanks this.

Gotta have a good seat when you're sitting for most of the day.
-
What kind of seat would yall recommend?
-
Don't lock the seat in place or the ride will wear you out.
JReding, KriegHund, akfisher and 1 other person Thank this. -
I think that's a matter of perspective, CT. I lock mine front to back, because I can't stand the "short throw porch swing" effect. But the up/down changes slightly throughout my day, otherwise my knees get stiff.
bigmotor1212, rabbiporkchop, Bean Jr. and 2 others Thank this.
