Hiring horse box, first time, any tips?

[Kadastorm]

Hey, I've made a last minute decision to take pony to a show tomorrow as I want to get him out and about before selling/loaning. I am hiring a 3.5ton horse box (van) for the first time and I'm pretty nervous as, although I'm a confident car driver I have never done this! I'm leaving plenty of time to get there to make it as smooth a ride as possible. And it will be rush hour as I'm going for evening jumping. I know one area which is particularly busy with lots of lane changes which is the bit wear I fear my stomach contents may appear!
Any tips would be great! My pony is great to load and easy to do so just need to get there and back in one piece!

Take it slow, don't stress, brake in plenty of time, but mostly just enjoy the freedom!
