Welcome JD.

With recording levels you do want to get as close to zero as possible without going over BUT!!!!!!. Don't over think this. I usually set my highest level at about -9 so that I have some head room left if I get "exited" and start playing louder during the take. Getting levels up to listening volume have nothing to do with this part of the process. That comes much, much later. Turn up your speakers for now until you actually start mixing.
