Get an experienced driver to help you. I often recommend going to your local transit agency and asking if one of their instructors would do lessons in his/her leisure time.

Your local school district would be another source of help. Any one who can hustle a 40-foot bus with 70 screaming kids on board through residential neighborhoods would have no problem showing you how to drive your rig on the highway.
