    I have a stupid question. Does anyone have a hard time reaching the pedals comfortably?

I had the seat pulled up as far as it would go. I had the seat raised a little so I could see over the steering wheel lol. I was still not sitting all the way back in the seat either because I couldn't reach. Any suggestions? Any products? It was very uncomfortable to drive that way. I was driving a Volvo in case that makes a difference. Thanks.
    I drive a 379 Pete & have the same problem, if I put ANY air in the seat my feet bounce off the pedals, so what I found was unlock the rocker & put NO air in the seat, it helps save the back on rough roads. I don't worry about seeing OVER the steering wheel...I just pick a spot to look under it & above the dash!

    Same here Roses...I look at it this way...I DON'T bang my head on things, I NEVER get asked to change a light bulb & I STAY OFF ladders...tho...I do get asked all the time if I bang my ***** on the curb when I jump off!

    My wife is just a hair under 5 foot... (4' 11 3/4") The first company we drove for, together, moved the seat forward about 4 inches for her. It still moved back enough for me to be comfortable, but gave her a real advantage. That was the only truck where she had that. From your heights, I would not suggest trying to drive a T-2000. That was the only truck she was not able to see over the dash. She's driven Pete's, Kenworths, and Freightliners in about every state, and in every major city across the country. The T-2000 was the only one she could not drive.

    I have seen trucks with the pedals blocked up for the drivers too. I don't have a problem at 6' tall.
    Destroy the cities...
    and they will rebuild them.
    Destroy the farms...
    and grass will grow in the streets of the cities.

    Destroy the economy of the blue-collar worker...
    and grass will grow in the executive offices.

    The bill has come due.
    ( R E T I R E D , and glad of it)
