    Agree totally about these seats...
    and the one in that FL I drove was worse...

    I swear I can feel two blocks under me... one on the left and one in the front... seat is jacked up from an ergonomic perspective... and it’s the “top of the line” unless you get one in leather... so sad what KW considers “top of the line” in a seat drivers sit on for 10+ Hours a day... lol

    been eyeing those purple gel cushions too... I was given permission to buy myself a third party seat for the truck but hoping the cushion addresses the lower back pain and decreased stamina between stop and stretches before I shell out for a pricey new captains chair.

    Princess and the Pea... OTR Edition... LOL

    I bought a purple pad and took it back after a week. It seemed like it just formed itself to the indents and there was no support. Thankfully they took it back they aren’t cheap!

    I hated the factory seats in the KW I had at Big G...the auto inflate/deflate system drove me nuts because I had a minor air leak they couldn't find (maybe because it was so small it wasn't a DOT violation) and it wouldn't inflate after a 10 hr break due to low air. Can't tell you how many times I went to sit down in the dark, heading for a restroom, forget it was on the floor, and fall into the seat.

    Hope they don't replace it with the Seats Legacy. I had a Legacy Silver in my Mack when I worked for Moore Freight. Probably one of the most uncomfortable truck seats I ever sat in. It felt like a worn out couch cushion with no side support, and it was only about 18 months old. Plus it was leather (or pleather) with no venting to prevent you from sweating. I had 2 beach towels bungie corded to it.

    Swung through the house and squeezed in a reset. Delivered in Williston, Sc this morning, bounced 110 miles down to Pooler, Georgia and currently live loading going to KCMO for Wednesday morning. My appointment at the shipper was 1300, I came over early, and I should be rolling out of here by 1130.

    Actually, it’s Winifred. The only reason I know this is because my wife calls me that whenever I have the smallest pebble in my shoe. ;)

    Today was one of those days we all have out here in the wonderful world of trucking. Four hour live unload at Walmart this morning, they had me pre planned on two loads, but before I finally got out of Walmart they called and asked for a favor. A load needed to picked up at our drop yard in KCMO and high tail over into Illinois for an ASAP delivery. Only problem was my 14 wouldn’t let me make it today. So after a discussion with CS it was decided first thing tomorrow was fine.

    I will deliver 0600 tomorrow, and then bounce 185 miles to Edwardsville to pick up a preloaded trailer going to Newnan, Georgia for Friday morning.
