HOME ON THE HIGHWAY: Today's truck cab designs combine science, art

摘要

Most truck drivers don't give truck cabs much thought - which is strange given that's where many drivers spend up to 11 hours a day behind the wheel, then another 8 to 12 hours resting, relaxing and sleeping. It's a testament to how well most truck cabs are designed today that they generally don't generate much comment - unless something in the cab is wrong, such as a hard-to-reach switch. Or a seat that never seems to give the driver's lower back any peace. Or a step that's just a little too high to reach comfortably when climbing in and out of the cab.
