    Don't worry, you're apprehensions are normal for new drivers. Are you going with tanker, flatbed, or reefer? When I started a long time ago, I had a wife and 4 children at home. I wish this forum had been available then; it would have saved me from some mistakes in the beginning. I made the mistake of starting with a dry van company & almost starved. I don't work for Prime; I'm just giving you my opinion from experience. You should do just fine there with Prime. Try not to get involved with the lease/purchase until you've been a company driver for a couple of years and learned how the business works, then decide what's in your best interest. If you're a hard worker you will do just fine.
