    mm mm mm. tsk tsk tsk. Find yourself a good attractive playful opposite and enjoy each other. Eventually you would have worked off the weight in excess enough to be able to do some trucking without worrying about the ow.

    I use a chaindrive wallet. I sit on that thing all the time. It helps me.

    What you want is a chair that provides adequate plush. If you DO NOT have that in your tractor, put together a thousand dollars and have a nice captains chair bolted on. There was a particular FLD 120 chair from roughly the 1994 era that was really perfect for my body. Ive plans to find one, buy it and feed it with a air compressor here at the computer.

    Wear clothes pants one size larger. You will have a little more room for your ... cushion to spread out a little more on that seat. You do not want to wear over tight clothing. It will restrict you.

    I am not very good with sore butts in a trucking seat. It's just something that is ignored like a bad troll after a time. To complain about it generates a instant hilarity inside the truck stop with much laughing and teasing you.

    I remember one incident in which a tractor did not have a seat at all to drive on. I went back in to the boss and said, I cannot drive that no seat. He got up and drove it there and back. I suppose with him being much more ample than I am where it counts he got it done.

    I myself have no problem sitting. My problem is the lack of getting up to do things.
    Yet when I drove for CR England. The trainer had me work on the stamina to be able to drive 11 hours straight. Well sort of. I did pull over after 5-1/2 hours do a enroute pretrip. Get a sandwich from the fridge all with in 15 mins so I didnt have to record it on the log. Yet that was the way I drove then for 5 months.

    Alas time has changed, now we have to get out of the truck to have lunch for a hour. sigh

    Honestly if you are getting in a truck with more then 300,000 miles the average seat is shot, or full of someone else's butt stink. So tell the carrier you want a new seat for that cascadia. They are a $450 seat new, why cause they are cheap ### national seats.
