    Eons ago I was hitchhiking and wss picked up by a guy with an old Mack construction tractor pulling an empty lowboy. I did sit on a box and after 100 miles I thought my insides were pushed out of my body. Roughest ride I ever had but was greatful for it.

    How does sitting in a way that is comfortable for each individual driver make people idiots?? So because you like air in your seat everyone else is an idiot, that is some good thinking right there.... :banghead:

    Cause maybe the drivers company ordered with air seat, and as a company driver you don't have the option to have a non-air ride seat. Or maybe you would like the option of having the seat aired up in the future or maybe to go on the wild side once in a while and ride on the high side...

    I have found that is the best setting for me, coupled with enough air that only the hardest of bumps will bottom me out.

    You have to get used to it but I felt that it really absorbed more of the shock that way.

    But you do have to make sure you can safely operate the pedals.
