    Nervous is normal for any one. Hardest part of orientation for me was the bus ride from Louisville, Ky to NLR. Lol.

    On with what Jim said. When I was doing my driving test, I had a stop sign at the top of a hill. I stopped of course, but I forgot to keep my foot on the brake while I was putting my foot on the accelerator. There was a car behind me and luckily I put my foot back on the brake in time. You will feel the truck start to take off; so as it does release the brake pedal.

    The thing to remember is that these are auto shifters. There is a clutch...just no clutch pedal.
