Some really great feedback here everyone, I really appreciate you all taking the time to reply. I'm only working on a steering wheel redesign, but the other concerns about the interior space are greatly appreciated as well as everything in the interiors of the trucks is meant to work in one cohesive package.

Hello everyone! I’m an industrial designer working on redesigning a steering wheel for Volvo Trucks, and I wanted to reach out to some truckers for some insight! I’ve got some questions for people to chime in on below, so if you’ve got some good answers/opinions/general insight, please feel free to chime in! Thanks!

1. What is the most important data to keep track of/monitor while trucking? 2. What are some multitasking routines that trucking requires? 3. What are some of the buttons/switches that you press the most while trucking? 4. What do you like the most/least about the interior layout of your truck? 5. What do you like the most/least about the interior features of your truck? 6. What is the most comfortable hand position for holding the wheel when trucking long distances (10 and 2, 9 and 3, etc.) 7. Have you driven with a brodie/suicide knob before? Is it something you prefer in tight spaces? 8. Does the steering wheel in your truck have buttons that maybe shouldn’t be there/could be located somewhere else? 9. Do you prefer a thicker/thinner steering wheel? 10. Would interchangeability of buttons/button layouts on the steering wheel be beneficial to you? 11. What are some features that you would like to see incorporated into your steering wheel?
