Good luck Sledge. Hope it goes / went OK. I had to drive one of those things around town during the weekend of our move and that was bad enough with an automatic. To me I never felt like I was totally in control of the vehicle, because so much of it was behind me. I don't know how semi drivers do it... I guess they get used to it. Too used to it for some, obviously.
Anyway, best of luck with your move.
