From a Yaris to a Sprinter

I'm an electrician and the company I'm currently with is getting a new service truck and I'll be the designated driver. I have a 45 minutes drive to the shop with my Yaris then I'll have to adjust to a 8' raised roof, 19' long cargo van (Mercedes Sprinter), weights twice as much, has a 3L V6 turbo Diesel engine, rear wheel drive, etc. polar opposite of a 3dr hatch. My main concern when driving bigger vehicles than my own is staying centered in the lane because the driver seat isn't anywhere near where I'm used to in relation to the road and wheels. Other than that I'm comfortable driving, backing, getting in and out of ditch and unpaved roads, etc. I'd be pretty pissed to scrape a car on the highway, passing by too close.

At least both vehicles are white, so it should help with the transition ;)
