I have indeed! The first hours/day of driving it were a little nervousmaking, but by the end I was driving with joie d'vivre. The car doesn't affect it much, except for merges and lane changes -- you are Very Long and need lots of space. And as Chuck said, backing up; I once got stuck in a turnaround because a car that hadn't been visible when I turned in was blocking the loop. Had to make about a 17 point turn to get out.
My biggest advice is: don't push it. Driving a truck is more tiring than driving a car, and you can go from feeling good to exhausted fast. So go ahead and stop at your planned time and place instead of pushing on, even if you feel lively at the time. I went extra distance a couple of times, and regretted it both times.
