I have a stupid question. Does anyone have a hard time reaching the pedals comfortably? I was practicing driving yesterday and couldn't rest my feet on the floor while pressing gas/brake if that makes any sense. I had to hold my feet up to press the brake/gas. 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 don't worry about seeing OVER the steering wheel...I just pick a spot to look under it & above the dash! :lol::lol::lol:

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.
