i15 to oakland? hmm...good luck? you mean i5?
if you mean i5, just take it slow, keep your hands on the wheel because of wind. honestly, i've driven the uhaul that way and in manhattan in nyc and never had any problem. just be aware of your surroundings, as when driving any car/truck. if you get tired, pull over at a safe spot and sleep, no matter how close you are to your destination. that drive can be trying after a while with a lack of scenery.
oh, above all else, BUY THE INSURANCE!

probably should stop posting on QBN on your cell if you're having trouble handling the truck

when you say truck, do you mean a van? or do you mean a truck?

Go to an empty parking lot and practice for a bit before hitting the big bad highway...

No worries. Just take it slow in the right lane. Get a good co-pilot - not a nervous Nancy. Those things drive like giant Cadillacs.

I hate driving those fucking things but just try to relax.
Also, when you park ... remember to put the emergency brake on. I had to sprint after a U-Haul the one time before it ran into a building.

so no one has driven this situation and has actual advice? i'm sure i can handle it in an empty parking lot – with traffic and wind tunnels i dunno.
