Training for Raider Express

Well once you get out on the road be ready for a real shock. Maybe 2000 a week. Get a dvd player and be ready for a lot if sitting and waiting. this past week set about 31 hours waiting to be unloaded or a load. Raider don't pay for you to sit.
Have went o deliver and was within FTW zip code. So I set for 8 hours and got paid NOTHING for it.

 

Any updates? Thanks

 

I never had a problem with not getting paid wait time with them. When I was there in 2007 wait time was $12.50 a hour after two hours. If I took a load within Dallas Fort Worth area I would ask to get paid $12.50(wait time wages) a hour while delivering that load because you cant make no money delivering locally when getting paid by the mile. Same for if they asked me to go get a trailer from Excel(Cargill now) in Friona, Tx and take it to Swift(JBS now) in Cactus, Tx would ask to get paid by the hour instead of miles. The only complaint I had while driving with them was their 60MPH(hazards as I call them these days) trucks and their no idel rule. Sorry but this guy aint freezing in Colorado in the winter and ain't becoming baked in Houston in the summer. Overall it was a okay company.

 

Raider pays $12.50hr when you are sitting waiting on a load or to be unloaded. It's on there website and I asked about that when I called the recruiter.

 

Rule one in trucking is NEVER EVER believe anything any recruiter or dispatcher says. The man who started this forum did it because of the recruiters and rats in the industry. I think his biggest foe was JB Hunt. But it goes for all.

 

I know how they all work. But if you don't speak up they will act like they forgot.

 

I got paid 12.5 a hour when I worked for them after the first 2hrs and some other places after first 3hrs also paid by the hour doing stuff in the metro.

 

do they run any teams?
