Driving for Prime

Why are there only 13 out 100 left???

I am currently still in training with Prime. Great company to start with and from what other drivers tell me long term as well. Did my research for years only made me nervous and made me feel like I knew what I was getting into. Haha OMG. Nothing you read or do can prepare you it only gives you realistic expectations. This has been one huge learning adventure of a lifetime. If its your time do not miss your opportunity. You cant dip your toes and check the water. Like others have said don't worry about training Prime wants you to succeed and anyone can learn the basics. But be on your game and study High Road Training here. Out of 100 in my orientation class only 13 are left. Read the diary Turtle made from his beginning word-for-word truth of what it's like. Hopefully, you make the right choice for you whatever that may be.

And just one more reason I'm conflicted about starting classes/training!!! I don't know if I could have done that 🙄

After you get properly trained and get some experience, you'll be fine backing into most spots. It just takes lots of practice and experience.

Everyone starts off as a beginner.

Omgosh thank you for sharing Donna!!! I can relate with so much of what you said. I just need to get the confidence in myself that I can do it. I've also read about a few horror stories regarding bad situations with trainers which is another concern of mine if we're going to be spending alot of time together... can you tell me what your experience was like. Do I get any input of who I get?

Thank you for your responses!!! Well I was excited about my decision but as people in my life are finding out they are trying to talk me out of it since I have never even drove a semi before in my life! And I have a real good career, however, I'm bored and need a change. This is very extreme but it's all I can think about!!! Although the thought of driving a semi in heavy traffic, backing in and turning scare me maybe I should rethink this? I'm so conflicted!!! Convince me please!
