Governed at 55mph. There is nothing express about them. Unsafe in all aspects of driving. If you see a red raider just know you are approaching a traffic jam that is created by them. So bad driver won’t turn on a radio or look at you either. This company sucks…and obviously the safety department doesn’t care because it has been the same way since being on cold springs rd.

I worked here 10 yrs ago. The 1st trucking company I've worked for. Was there 2 yrs and had the best OTR experience with them. They've taught me alot, and the staff was very supportive during my personal medical problems. I miss it there. My only issue is the 60 mph when I was there, lol. I hope they've raised to 65 at least for the newer drivers!

How much trucking experience do you have?

What about people who live in Georgia? Do you have to live in Texas? Do you help with travel costs to school and lodging?

Consuela Allen (MusicPLUSBusiness) | May 8, 2022
William Melichar | May 8, 2022

We have several yards in multiple different states but we don't drive to Georgia or most of that region. For those attending the CDL school, students can stay in a hotel and the cost will be deducted from your checks after you complete training and are hired. This occurs over a period of time making the deductions very small

Are women accepted?

R Morris | Nov 4, 2020

How much home time do new trainees usually get after they start out on the road by themselves..I read it could be 2 weeks out & 1 week in..is this the truth?!

Belen Badejo | Nov 5, 2018
Chris Latham | Nov 5, 2018

The best way I've found to be the most reliable is to stay out 3 - 4 weeks. Especially if you want consistant cash flow. If I stay out 3 weeks that is 3 consistent checks with sufficient mileage. Then I take off for 3 days which gives me 4 days on my following check. Starting is .36 cents per mile. Max miles in a day typically 605 miles at 55mph in an 11 hour shift. You're not guaranteed to run 605 miles per day and the tax man is waiting at every mile marker you pass. Trucks are governed at 60mph, but 58mph is the key speed. *OTR Training( 28 Days ) = .15 cents per mile *OTR Solo Driver = .36 cents to start * Trainers Make $$$$$$$$

What do I do if metal part feel off from the simi and hit our car.

Priscilla Gramillo | Nov 5, 2018
Rus Smith | Nov 5, 2018

Hopefully you got the truck company and identifying markers; truck number, trailer number, and licence plate numbers. If so, you can report them to your insurance company. They will take care of the rest.

How far do they go back on your record? I just now became eligible to get my CDL.

Simon Arroyo | Mar 9, 2022
cj van | Mar 9, 2022

What kind of record are you talking about? Criminal history record or driving record? The last time I had to get a driving record for a job, which I believe they do take care of, went back 7 years. Criminal history, I have no idea. However, you could always call and select recruiting in the menu they will answer all your questions. They do seem to be more open and lenient than other companies.

What about rider and pet policy?

Everett Alsobrook | Jan 8, 2022
John Swier | Jan 8, 2022

Yes after 90 days with approval but not any pets that I know of

Do you aloud people to have 2 days off week? I want to be a truck driver. But I have to have weekends as my brake.

Carol Dias | Nov 4, 2021
Andrew Kaun | Nov 4, 2021

Look for another company if that's what you want. 1 week out to 1 day off.

During the 28 day otr training is there home time ?

Whittney Wiley | Nov 4, 2021
Andrew Kaun | Nov 4, 2021

Yes you can go home 2 weeks in for 2 days of home time. It is not mandatory though.

I'm looking to get my cdl but most companies want a 3 yr verifiable work record. I do not have that cause I was off work for a couple years due to cancer but my previous job I worked at for 15 yrs. Does raider express requir 3 yr work record?

Jeri Butler | Nov 4, 2021
Chris Perez | Nov 4, 2021

If you pass your cdl test, they will ask for 10 years work record. The 2 year gap should not be an issue.

Once training is over and you're on your own are family members and/or pets allowed to ride with you?

Alan Goodson | Nov 4, 2021
Malcolm Dixon | Nov 4, 2021

No pets unless it's a service animal. No family until you're solo for 6 months

I'm wanting to do this but I live all the way across fort Worth with no care at the moment. Will they still pay for hotel services nearby while I take the classes?

Thomas Anderson | Nov 4, 2020
Caleb Wright | Nov 4, 2020

I just finished the 4 week class. They paid for the hotel. Once youre hired $50 will be deducted from each paycheck to repay the hotel fee. The hotel itself is around $60 a night. They even have a shuttle to get you back and forth from class. I say go for it

Is there a contract after you get your cdl or are you free to go wherever you want to work.

Nicholas Laudin | Nov 5, 2019
Kris Harcrow | Nov 5, 2019

No contract. But they won't give you a reference unless you work with them for a while. So you'll have a CDL but no real experience. They offer great pay and bonuses.

James Garrett | Nov 5, 2019
Michael Pritchett | Nov 5, 2019

Hey James. If you are inquiring about training to get your CDL license, its 100% Free. Raider Express actually pays you while you are in training. Just call the office or check out the website for more details. Best wishes.

Can you get the automatic transmission only removed from a cdl? If so how much does it cost Do you have a manual truck to train on so one doesn't get the restriction?

Marcial Martinez | Nov 5, 2019
John Perreira | Nov 5, 2019

To remove the restriction, you need to take a road test in a manual truck. The cost would vary. The vast majority of reputable companies have switched to Automatics, for both safety and fuel economy. So the restriction wouldn't really hinder you in the future. Unless you already are planning on working somewhere with standard trucks. In which case you could learn from someone there how to shift. Your CDL, is yours. It's your professional resume, whatever you add to it. Ie endorsements is up to you. Getting a CDL isn't like getting a job. It's a professional license, the more experience and endorsements you have, the higher your value.

How much can i expect to make per week while out with trainer for the 28 days?

Eric Gulik | Nov 5, 2019
John Perreira | Nov 5, 2019

It's all dependent on your trainer. Average is around $700 from what I've gathered over the years. The top trainers will get you between $850 to $1000.

Do i need a clp before coming to ur classes

Bobbie Taylor | Nov 5, 2019
Michael Pritchett | Nov 5, 2019

I'm not sure what a clp is, but the only thing you will need is proof of identity. Drivers license, social security card, etc. The school will provide everything that you need. Good luck.

dracon ravencroft | Nov 5, 2019
Daryl Wingo | Nov 5, 2019

No, it must be parked at a Raider yard.

Is the CDL you get from the free training transferable to other companies if you eventually leave?

Colton Almos | Nov 5, 2019
carolyn | Nov 5, 2019

I think after 6 months of driving for them, u can move on to work elsewhere or start your own business. What my son did. He drove a lot! But automatic transmission in trucks. He had his truck tricked out inside, Roku TV, playstation, and nice bed. More miles u go the more experience.Good Luck to you!
