[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 925455, member: 9500"] We had a driver who could not physically fit in any of the old P800 or P1000 because he was too big (not fat). The steering wheel would just ram him in the gut. This was when those cars were the norm and the new diesels were a rarity and they seemed to be able to put him in a newer car without much issue. It just takes planning and we know how much UPS likes to plan. The pillow as a modification is complete BS. You should see how much modification we do to Feeder tractors. In their logic, hanging your jacked over the seat would be a modification. I would look at a truck stop for a vented backrest. It's a curved piece of fabric covered metal that gives you slight lower back support and allows air to circulate. That would move you forward a bit. Then I would try shoes with lifts in them or boots with as thick of a sole as you can find. I wouldn't want to limit myself to an old P1000 as those cars just tore me up in my driving years. Consider yourself lucky, California just passed a law that if you are 4'9" or under you'd have to be in a booster seat (ok only if you are under 8). [/QUOTE]
