I don't like them either. As a L/O who pays for his own maintenance, I want my tires to last as long as possible. That means regularly checking tire pressures with a tire pressure gauge. Those wheel covers make that task more tedious and burdensome, and I can tell you from past experience as an aircraft mechanic that managers should never create more maintenance/inspection burden than absolutely necessary to promote safety. Those wheel covers will hide loose/missing lug nuts or wheel studs, and will also hide leaky hub seals, depending on the type of hub setup involved.

They may have the stops set too low if you hit a hard limit on the seat height. If it is still "squishy" at max height it may be a valve issue. Either way the seat should go higher with some fixin' or adjustments. They may have it limited because the inverter controller is in such a stupid spot...🤷♂️ if you can't get it fixed, there are some pretty thick seat cushions out there. I wouldn't reccomend a purple seat cushion unless you can get one to try before you but, they are way overpriced and don't always work right for some people.

That camera is a LYTX system. It tracks your hands and your head angle… it can detect devices in your hand. And you’ll notice the “dot” will go red if you do certain things, like a “bump & go” at a stop sign… it will say “stop for stop signs” and will say “distracted” it will also say “speeding” if you exceed your company’s set speed limit, for example, rolling down a grade… it’ll say it. Mine also had an issue picking up (detecting) my properly worn seatbelt (until) we utilized a contrasting color sleeve. Because our uniform shirts are black… the LYTX thought we were all unbuckled. Now, having said all this, I don’t really care if they “monitor” or watch… they won’t see me holding a phone. Too much to risk getting caught doing that in todays environment.

Several observations: 1. That "catwalk" on the right side of your 5th wheel area should just be a cover for your snow chain rack. It should be able to lift up or tilt to expose the chain rack hooks. 2. The 5th wheel release and sliding 5th wheel are not new "KW features". Those have been options available to KW and Peterbilt tractors all along. It just so happens that CFI finally got their new KW's spec'd out with those features. 3. Doesn't your passenger seat rotate to face the desk? I noticed you never made mention of that capability in your old KW, I think in your video showing your intro to the Cascadia. My fleet has some T680's that have interior setups exactly like yours is, and our T680's have rotatable passenger seats. I've used one of them as a loaner before, and you have to set the height and forward/aft position just right to get it to rotate completely to face the desk without hitting the door or B pillar. See if your passenger seat can rotate. If it does, you won't need that store bought chair you have sitting on your upper bunk.
