I was looking for a new career after selling my business of 25 years and obtaining my CDL was always a dream I had always wanted to do.

After researching and looking at multiple companies in the DFW area, Raider Express caught my attention with it s advertising a FREE school + they pay you $1,000.00 to learn to get your CDL!

Once I applied and filled out the necessary forms to get a driving background check which was clear I was contacted by them and started my school the following Monday. I found out that I was selected out of 350 applicants during that week to come to their school. We started off with about 27 students that first Monday morning and we dwindle down to about 11 after the first week and a half. Some of them failed their drug test, some of them did not want to go and get their permit because of past child support and so I did not pass the physical because of some medical issues.

They pass you off week to week from instructor to instructor after you have obtain the knowledge you need to be evaluated and moved onto the next part.

I am proud to say that after three weeks and three days I tested and passed my CDL test on the first try. I will say that it was not without doing a lot of work, a lot of studying, and a lot of perseverance. I have a newfound respect for truckers and all they have to go through to not only get their CDL but to keep it.

I am just finishing up my fourth week of school and will be headed out on my 28 day in the next day or two. Once I come back from that I will be driving solo and earning some really really good $$$.

I have nothing but good things to say about all of the instructors and the director and the company overall. They have tremendous interest but be prepared to work because that s what you re gonna do. Shout out to Antonio, Darren, Chris, Kevin, Bill, Verne and all the staff that worked each day to get us where we are now.

Got to meet some really good brothers and sisters while here also.

In closing FREE means FREE. I have never had to sign a contract. I have my license and could leave if I wanted to, but why would I.

All of there trucks are 2018 or newer Volvo s and automatics which make driving much easier.

3 weeks and 3 days from start to CDL.
