[QUOTE="Conundrum, post: 925427, member: 39456"] They have tried moving the seats down, all the way forward and I even tilt it but I am still not quite close enough it is still 2 to 4 inches too far. The mechanics have checked and said there is nothing they can do. One day I had sups take like 15 minutes trying to get the pin out of one truck and lower it and I was still too far. I had about 6-8 inches between my back and the back of the chair to reach the pedals. As for driving the same truck, I am a swing driver and they said it is impossible because they do not know what route I will be on until in the morning, after call ins. We tried transferring all the packages to another truck one day, but say it is impossible to try to reload the truck I'll be in every day. They also keep saying for me to have my own "special" truck is showing preferential treatment and management does not approve such accommodations for any driver. Also they say the truck is already assigned to a route and can not pull it off. The driver who has this truck is generally in feeder, but still needs it when on the route. They did pass me knowing this would be a problem but I guess they did not realize how big of a problem it would be, and neither did I. Because there are so many different types of trucks I believed, and management says they did too, that I would be able to reach in another vehicle. That's hindsight for you lol. Thank you all for trying to help! I know its a bit of a weird situation that apparently has not been brought up very often so I am worried that no one really knows what to do. [/QUOTE]
