Female Prime Student Over 50

Hi! This is my first post. Kind of new to Trucking Truth but more a lurker lol. Anyway I've been watching videos and reading through the forums before both myself and my husband made the decision to go with Prime for Truck Driving School. He had his own career but due to Covid, mine was eliminated. I started last week (1/4/2021) and thought as a woman over 50, there are things that would have been good to know and good to have some support of women my age. So if like to share my experience and show those ladies who are on the fence that they can do this no matter what negative feedback you may get from others. I was lucky enough to have the support of my husband but not everyone can be so lucky.

Anyway, hubby and I both agreed that the extra time Prime takes to make sure you're prepared was definitely what sold us on going with them. We will both feel more secure in knowing I've had a lot of time with a TNT Trainer and experience plenty of real life situations II may come across as a solo driver. Prime does definitely get you prepared for the trucking lifestyle from day one and I have learned a lot so far. I've passed my assessments for a majority of my pre-trip and in the process of learning more. I put together little videos to talk about my day and things I've gone thru. I'm trying to show it from a woman over 50 and things you need to consider plus be prepared for. If you're interested in checking it out, here's my link

I'll try to update at least once a week here and let you all know how I'm doing. So far the process has been fast paced but I do have to say it's been very informative.

Thanks, Anne! I did get a lot of info from her thru Trucking Truth but I haven't really caught her videos yet. I'll most likely check them out soon!

Wow! It's been a hectic couple of weeks but I have to say it's been very informative and glad that I went through Prime for my training! Although some have gone through other driving schools to get their CDL before coming to Prime and they may have even had their state pay for their training, I've heard how they regret not just coming straight to Prime and doing their training with them. I posted a few videos about things you may want to prepare for, but not the details of how to do certain maneuvers and such because there's plenty of videos out there on that. At this point. I'll only be posting updates and not a video every day. If you want to check out the videos, go to

Glad it's going well, m'lady!

Prime is purported to have the longest & most thorough training in the industry. HAPPY FOR Y'ALL!
