    Naw!! It gets easier!!!:biggrin_25525: Congrats on getting out on the road. Just remember, TAKE YOUR TIME!!! Don't try to push yourself beyond your current limits.... When I was training, I used to have to stress to some students that if they would forget about trying to rush and just relax, that everything goes so much smoother.
    Also, since you're going to Flats, a word of advice.. If you think that you need to throw another strap on a load, throw two.... More is better than not enough.. Good luck to you!!!!
