    Raider Express is a worthless company and their drivers are equal. I have not seen a single one of their drivers that doesnt fit the 53 mph truck.

    What makes Raider Express a worthless company? What makes their drivers worthless?
    Please specify & be specific.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    You could just go to Roadmaster and get an education loan. Then work for whoever you want with no contract and most will pay you extra per month to pay back your tuition. As a bonus you could go through school in Houston as opposed to being in some roach motel at a company school.

    Depending on your previous year income level, Workforce Solutions may pay for you to get your CDL from a private school. If you qualify, that would open up a lot more doors to you initially than going with a carrier sponsored training program.

    I'm a little late to this thread, but I feel the necessity to respond. I drive for Raider Express and have for over a year. Raider is NOT a worthless company. I make a #### good living at Raider Express. I work hard, wake up on time, drive my clock and I'm a professional. I handle my business every single load. No one ####s with me because I've proven I will take care of the job. I'm rewarded with on time raises & I feel respected & appreciated because I'm polite, always on time & reliable.
    Yes, Raider Express is gov @60MPH.
    Yes, Trucks are encouraged to drive 55mph.
    I know it sucks. I know its slow. But don't hold that #### against the driver. Drivers like myself are just working the system.
    I can drive 55mph & make every appt time. I hit 11k miles every month which rewards me with a $550 Bonus - which is a $0.05cpm pay if you do the math. Also, the 55mph provides me with 9.9+ mpg which gives me a $0.05 or $0.06 cpm Fuel Bonus on ALL miles.
    When you add all that up, I make $0.50+cpm
    I don't have to drive over the Rockies, into Cali or NW. We don't drive SE into Atl, GA & very limited NE driving as well.

    Personally, I am very happy with Raider Express because they treat me like I want & would treat others.
    With this said, I think I would be successful at any trucking company because I possess the work ethic & common sense that makes you successful at anything.

    It seems that money has clouded your mind and yes I will always blame the driver you had a choice and you chose wrong.
    No amount of money will get me to become a road pest.
