I need my arm rest!!

New 2018 Cascadias with no armrest on driver left side... Absolutely ridiculous. Leave it to a trucking company - and a truck manufacturer to nickle and dime you out of what should be standard (comfort/safety) equipment. Very irritating. Seriously guys, don't kid yourself... most trucking company execs can't wait for the day when there are no more truck drivers to pay (and no more armrests to buy).

 

I have no arm rests either side.
What do they have to do with safety?
Nothing, comfort maybe. I found them an annoyance.

 

I won't drive a truck that does not have two adjustable armrests. Took the company to task many years ago. They had a bunch of Macks with molded armrest in door which is NFG since if you try and use it you will sit slightly crooked. No big deal unless you are sitting like that for hours. It will contribute to thoracic outlet syndrome and aggravate any disc issues driver may have.
Properly adjusted armrests set low to keep shoulders at normal walking height reduces pressure on your spine.

 

I read a little bit about this TOS. No mention of driving leading to this condition. It seems like it would be an aggravating physical ailment to get.
Treatable early on with proper exercise.

I just put a new seat in my truck. I don't like either arm rest. I flip them up and leave them up.
I agree, sitting in our seats the most comfortable will help us tolerate the long hours of driving.
Good luck.
