All you good folks out there that own or drive Freightliner Cascadia tractors ... are these trucks causing any health problems for your tall drivers, people that are six feet tall or more ???
I have a couple drivers that are complaining of leg/knee issues. I am trying to ascertain if this is just coincidental or an actual design flaw with the truck itself.
 
I have had more complaints on our 5700's than the Cascadia's more that they can't get the seat back far enough due, I remember some complaints on the Evolutions and we swapped some seats out for the taller guys and installed them set back a little further. I have had no complaints on the New Cascadia.
 
We had issues with the old Columbia and driver's complaining of leg issues. Our current Cascadia is driven by a short driver. LOL
