With the Oregon Aero, I'm not having to constantly shift around to get rid of sore spots, and after 8 hours of driving I'm not all stiff and sore all over. I have the 2" seat and the full back.

It was a lot, that is for sure! Took about 45 minutes to get the water shut off to it. So you can do the math.

Oh, you didn't really mean "you can do the math"

I would like to have one of those, but I hate to sit any higher in the seat than now. I may try 1" cushion some day.
So....with Workflow, I dont see a pro#. Im assuming the trip plan# is what we use with workflow? Thats the only number I see.
My last load isnt showing anymore, so all I could do is go back to the pay screen and use the travel order#. I scanned it in with that, expecting an error msg anytime now.
Oh... preplanned for 2 back to back round trip shorties tomorrow...good day, good pay :thumbup:

It's a seat cushion. It is designed by pilots for pilots, actually. These things are very popular with pilots. Oshkosh Defense uses them in a wide range of military vehicles. A lot of aircraft, including military aircraft, are now being built with Oregon Aero seats, not cushions. The seat cushions themselves aren't military approved as an add-on to existing seats, far as I know, but many of the existing seats are Oregon Aero. It's the standard seating for the KC-135 Stratotanker, the C-130 Hercules, A-10 Warthog, B-1, B-2, F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Falcon, FA-18, and the F-22. Plus a dozen helicopters. I've flown twice in a C-130 and the seats, armrests, even the bunks were Oregon Aero. They make forklift seats, which I've seen a few times. You can also send your truck or van seats to them and they'll rebuild them for you. They make seats for big trucks, too, or you can retrofit yours. Not cheap, tho. Neither is the cushion or lumbar support or the full back, but it's without question the best money I've spent in expediting.So is this a cushion or a chair
The seat cushion alone is $191 (2" base). The half back (the lumbar support) is $64.00. The seat cushion/lumbar support combo is cheaper together at $250 (for the 2" base).
The full back (which also includes the adjustable lumbar support) is $202, so the full back and seat together are $393. Again, best money I've ever spent in expediting. Seriously. If I had to choose between my Espar and my Softseat, then I'll just expedite 6 months out of the year and go without the Espar (because I'll never do another winter without one).
I've had my SoftSeat since 2005 and it's still just as comfortable as the day I got it. The covers unzip for throwing in the washing machine. Yes, it handles machine washing just fine, just don't throw the foam in there with the covers.
You want the 2" seat cushion (if you weight more than 160 pounds or have a delicate backside like me that you want properly pampered). The more the better, especially with a Sprinter, especially if you drive in and around Detroit. They have a 1" and a 1/2", but those are for airplane seats that are not adjustable (most of them aren't) and you are limited on headroom. But I know a couple of tall people who use the 1" and they're very pleased with it. You want the non-skid strips for the base. If you get the full back, it comes with attached straps with buckles. The lumbar support and the full back zippers to the base.
Very important: Don't get the base alone. Get it WITH the lumbar support (or with the full back which has the lumbar support included). You'll regret it if you don't get both.
Spend some time at their Web site and read all about the cushions, and them.
Here's the main page: OregonAero.com
The Portable Cushions page: Portable Cushions
They have a PDF catalog that described the history of the company, what they do, the technology involved, and who all they make seating for. Some great pictures in there, especially starting at page 24 for the cushions. http://www.oregonaero.com/sites/oregonaero.com/files/file/OAcatalog_0312.pdf
