Hi everyone. Well I can't really give my "Favorite" trucking company as this will be my 1st trucking job. So I went through there training which they use Continental Trucking School, and is located right at Raider Express in Fort Worth, TX. So my class room and driving tests are done. I am going to start to post updates on this topic about how my OTR Training goes. The Continental training was great, great instructors with patients. So once Dustin finds a trainer for me I will keep you all up to date the best I can on how things are going so people looking into training or just looking into switching to another company and will have an idea of how my experience with Raider Express is.

hi thunderf4,
thank you for the thread, as I am inquiring about Raider Express but I can't seem to find too much about them. I live in Ft Worth. That's nice that Continental is in Raider Express, don't they have an actual school in Dallas also? What are the requirements of the program, can I pay up front, or is it a company sponsored program?
Thx, Mack -
Well Dustin found me a trainer. His name is Randy as well, lol Sounds of it I will be OTR training Monday. Still waiting to hear from the trainer.

Ok so I called my OTR Trainer Friday and left him a message because he is heading out on Monday asking "Can we meet up Saturday at the yard so I can see what all to bring and what can go in your truck" I never got a call back. Saturday I called him and left a message again, I still got no call back, or Sunday. From my understanding the OTR Trainer is heading out Monday (Today). So I will post once I hear what's going on.

Good luck! -
Yeah i still have everything packed. His truck is still in the yard so he's home still. I just called Dustin to see if he can get a hold of him. See what happens.

Have you heard anything from Dustin or your trainer? -
Yes I can PM u the number. Yes I got a hold of my trainer. We left about 5:50pm just passed Sweet Water, TX heading to Lubbock. Getting your CDL on your own will save you a lot of $$. Compare $900 to $4200 lol

Training is going good. My trainer is a good guy. Been to Cactus, TX to Denver, CO to Le Mars, IA into Nebraska. Had some truck issues so we got back to the yard Friday waiting on a call for the truck to be done them will head back out.
