    So we can't see all the haters looking up to us while they navigate the urea soaked parking lot in their Jerusalem cruisers!!!

    I run a Freightliner M-2/106 , but I sit low, does that make my truck a Freightworth or a Kenliner?

    Ive driven IH, Pete’s, Mack’s, and KW’s, never rode low to the floor in any of them. For me, what works best for me, is sitting up as if your at the dinner table, don’t slouch, have the back of the window frame slightly behind my left arm. I don’t want to lean forward to look out the window. And the shift lever better not be much higher than the arm rest.

    I personally believe this is the answer to this burning question.

    Too bad even Peterbilt now has been corrupted by the Volvo and Turdcadia influences.

    Exactly. I am guilty of slouching when tired. Like sliding down. Have to straight up. You back will thank you for good posture.

    I keep my seat tall and proud in my cascadia cause I'm so dam good looking ! , I also want a birds eye view of the humiliation I cause when I occasionally romp on it and show some company drivers how fast they're truck isn't...then i slow down so they can see again just how good lookin I am.
