Best trucks in terms of driving comfort?

Go try on one of your company’s T680s or 579s.

The biggest issue I think you’re going to have is the stupid cabinet they put right behind the driver’s seat. It really limits how far back one can move the seat. I’d ask the highest person you have access to about removing that cabinet, if any one of the trucks fits you better. The PACCAR cabinets simply unscrew and come right out. It’ll either go out the sleeper door or they’ll have to remove the passenger seat, to get it out.

I’m in a T680 and recently drove a Volvo and 579. The Volvo has more room under the center of the dash, which is where I always stretched out my right leg. The PACCAR trucks have a drink holder in the way. Volvo has more room behind the seat and between the seats.

 

Just wait until you really drive one of the newer Volvo's -- WOW !!!

Check out their other trucks remove what they can and get a knee brace... this job is hard on knees feel for ya

 

I would ask the shop guys to install a low-base seat.

 

That’ll only exacerbate his knee problems.

I had a Legacy Lo, with adjustable base, in my Volvo. It was the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in.

 

I dunno what truck's going to suit you but stopping every couple of hours to stretch your legs should actually be a part of every driver's routine. You should always do that no matter how comfortable or not the ride is. Sitting in that seat for 3, 4, 5, 6+ hours is terrible for your overall health and well-being.

 

When I bought my Kenworth the previous owner had bought a new low or short seat whatever it’s called. Keep in mind he was only about shoulder high to me.

I tried to set in that seat and felt like my knees were up on each side of my head.

I made a riser and put the new seat on the passenger side, it’s about right for my wife who is 5’-6”…..

 

I'm 6'2",driving a Cascadia.Put the seat cushion all the way forward then tilt the seat backwards, best I can get it in mine.I just swapped trucks and the square box in the middle of the windshield is annoying,gives me another blind spot to watch.I keep the seat raised all the way.
At Schneider they had a seat ergonomics specialist at some of their terminals,help you get your seat set up what was best for you.
I'd try to get into a t680,or 579 ,get a better ride.

 

From the little bit of info released so far it does sound like the new Tesla trucks are very comfortable.
