Just had a driving assessment and been offered the job. Problem is, these new 70 Plate T-Series Renault’s have seatbelts that don’t really fit. They literally pinned myself and the driving assessor to the seat as they’re too short and there’s no play, making driving frankly awful. Neither of us are morbidly obese and he was as surprised as me. Never had this in any truck I’ve ever driven.Would a seatbelt extender be useful as I would be cab-hopping?
They also have a stupid fixed 5th wheel, and you cannot split couple. We measured the gap and it’s so tight that you can’t jump up and fit unless you put your back to the cab. Measured 45cm between the headboard of the trailer and the tractor unit. It’s like it was made for cardboard cutouts
Fifth wheel mounting should be specced by customer shouldn’t it?
