Do not get over confident.
Use caution.
Adjust the electric brakes before you leave the parking lot......if no parking lot, find a BIG one before you get on the road --- mega church parking lot. Adjust your electric brake controllor before you get on the road.
Figure top speed might be 60; just plan on it.
Stick to major highways --- lanes are wider.
If you must got thru a construction zone with concrete barriers on both sides, slow way down. You don't want to hit one.

Stop after an hour and check EVERY tire --- including the ones on your truck. Gets you in habit. When I'm carrying a car or other cargo on a trailer, I will stop after 5 minutes of driving to check the chains, tie down straps, etc. Loads have a way of settling & shifting.
