Easy does it boys, easy does it. Some of those seat-on-floor, shoddy looking young truckers are some of the sharpest truckers out there. Not all, but a few of them. I learned the ropes of running a log truck from one such fellow, and he did a d@mn good job of teaching me. His reason for sitting low was to angle his knees to be more comfortable. Too many accidents/shattered bones in his youth.

I myself drop the seat sometimes when running down the open highway, to stretch my legs out straighter. In heavier traffic though, I agree, seat up so you can see around you. And I definitely hear you on loving the air seat with hendrickson springs/walking beam! Same with Mack camelbacks.

Now, being as how we're judging, why do all the #$%^#*$ old farmers driving around with their old pickups at 10 under the limit suddenly speed up to 10 over the moment a big rig tries to pass?

Nuff said.
