Reviews of Fort Worth CDL School (Driving School)

Fyi Raider Express, they don't work with you if you aren't making good conversation in the truck...there is a pecking order..you're only good if you are better than the worse driver in ur truck. The instructors are never on the same page, they are rude, dismissive and impatient. They expect an inexperience driver to learn how to drive a truck that won't pass inspection, transmission problems, low air pressure, every other light on in the dash. The truck I was stuck in for 5 days had 877,000 miles on it. My trainer stayed on his cell phone while I was driving downtime with no urgency to get off. I turned on my signal light to see if he had noticed and he did..and said I'm not turning..and that if I interuppt his phone conversation then I'm doing something wrong. The same instructor had another student close his eyes and told him to drive as he told him how to steer the wheel. My last instructor fell asleep while I was driving. The trainers are ppl that have been on the road for 8 months to 18 months

Just finished the school, honestly one of the best schools in the country, great place to work for, good pay, great incentives and benefits!

Best decision of my life, all depends on you, if you have it, they ll help you bring it up. No regrets.

One of the best places to get your CDL. Instructors are all drivers with plenty of experience. They are upfront with everything, no hidden fees or long term contracts. Their main goal is to make you into one of the safest drivers on the road. Any place can set you up to just pass the basics and get your CDL, Fort Worth CDL School will teach you what you need to know and more. Highly recommend to anyone considering a career as an OTR driver.

This company is everything they say they are and more. The school is totally free and the instructors are incredible and knowledgeable. After finishing the school I went on the 28 day OTR, which went went well. Now I am on my own truck and feel totally confident doing the job knowing I have a full support system of driver managers, dispatch, and even the owners who are on site daily. When they say it's family orientated they mean it, never have I been treated so well by a company that I've worked for. I'm looking forward to a long and happy career with Raider. If you're looking for a home and career in trucking, my advice would be to sign on here you won't be disappointed.

It's a great training program. The instructors are awesome and only want you to learn the best. They are tough on you but in the end it's worth it. Just need to come in and be willing to learn and be patience. Also I would recommend this training program to family and friends.

patrick brooks

It's a great school and the instructors are very helpful. If you need someone to push you and help you that's what they are for to teach you but you have to be willing to listen. Thank you for giving me this opportunity Raider!

Jasmin Perkins

Awesome company with awesome people. I didnt know anything about trucking when I got there. Now I feel like Ive been driving trucks my whole life. Thank you Raider Express!!!

Taylor Made

I'm giving one star because there is so much back and forth about Raider Express vs Ft. Worth CDL School...which one is it?? and whats the difference? Makes you turned off by both places honestly...

Barry Lauderdale

Great school, very knowledgeable instructors. Everyone involved in the program has your best interests in mind!

jamal williams

Raider express is a great school to come to if you are a beginner... they teach you everything you need to know about trucking I give them five stars mainly because everything the recruiters told me was absolutely true... I am a graduate from the school...

Angel Razo

Does NOT say raider express, it says "fort worth cdl training" change the name so people wont call looking for just training, im not trying work for you guys

Antonio Montelongo

I really enjoyed the school. Each instructor has their own method of teaching you what you need to know. From what I can tell, they are really dedicated to helping you learn. But a lot of it has to do with your own self determination. If you have the will and drive then you willl succeed. Antonio Montelongo

Great customer service

Raider Express has been nothing but a God send for me. I had an personal issue that caused me to have to leave in my first day of class. The company worked with me and I was able to start again the next week. Not many companies would even consider doing that. It is a fast and furious 4 week course, but like anything in life...you get out of it what you put in. If you do the work and progress day to day the instructors will work with you to insure success. I had never even seen the inside of a commercial vehicle before I started class, but 4 weeks later I earned my CDL and am moving on in training with the company. The training really is free, there are no contracts, the instructors are very knowledgeable and the company is one that I look forward to working for a long time to come. Marcus R.

The best CDL School and trucking company in the country! No other company will pay YOU for your time in school, give a month of OTR training AND doesn't make you sign a contract. There is one catch. It's you! If you're willing to work hard, stay focused and positive you will make it! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and experienced and there to help you succeed. My experience was nothing short of life changing. 4 weeks ago I didn't think I would be able to effectively and safely drive and control a tractor trailer but here I am now about to hit the road with my trainer. I know how to use my logs and map without a GPS. Thank you Raider Express for everything you've done for my family and I. It's a bright road ahead!

Marco Hernandez

It is like a family bro me very nice people personal and trainers

Tj Woku

Stephen Croft

Made learning how to drive the trucks a piece of cake

Paul Soliz

Great instructors great on road trainers getting in my own truck Thursday starting my new career as an OTR truck driver best decision I've ever made thank you Raider Express for making this possible

martin Alcantar

It's the Harvard of cdl schools, the instructors are great and prepare you for everything you need to know. Now that I'm in my own truck I feel confident enough to be able to face any problem i may have on the road, and if not there is a great support team willing to help with any questions.

Austin Blackwell

If you take this school seriously and do the best that you can every day you will earn your class a cdl. Everyone has an opportunity and the instructors will help you be the best that you can be.

Raider Express provides the necessary tools, instructions, guidance and ample drive time to successfully complete your CDL. Like any job or task you have to put in the additional time in order for it to be successful. The trainers never hesitate to give you feedback or constructive criticism on your overall performance. Each trainer has a different style of teaching technique, but the end goal is always the same, to make you a safe professional trucker driver. I successfully received my CDL in four weeks and now I’m on the road with a trainer for 28 days. Depending on your self drive you could be a solo driver in less than 3 months. If you’re thinking about becoming an over the road truck driver, then I would highly recommend Raider Express.

Ashley Gonzalez

They don't just teach you how to pass a CDL test, they teach you how to be a professional driver. You learn things you think are irrelevant until you actually hit the road and see the use for it. It is COMPLETELY free. Actually, negative free since they pay you throughout the school and also pay for your permit and CDL. If you can't hold your weight, they will let you go. Some of the trainers do come off harder than the others. Just listen to what they are saying and not the tone of voice they are saying it in. You are there to learn from them. They don't have to learn anything from you.

Mike Hamilton

With all good things, if you apply yourself this company will train you to be a safe and professional driver.

Alexander Escobar

At first hand I didn't know what to expect coming into the school. I said to myself FREE CDL training? Man it to good to be true this cant be true but I went in and got thru the school in 4 week got my CDL and learned alot of new stuff on how to better drive and backing to spot, now I'm on the road making some good money. I got to meet some great teaching staff and new friend from the class I was in. Great part of the school is if you take a little extra time to learn in the school they take extra time to show you and help you with whatever you need help in. Over all this was the best and fastest way to get your CDL and start a new career, I have no regret on quit my job and going full time to the school because in the end it will get my started on a better career and I'll be able to give my family a better life!

I have to say these instructors are very good at what they do and they make sure we are ready to passed our test. They also go out of there way to make sure we are ready to drive the truck with confidence and know how to drive the truck. I am wanting to learn as much as I can to be come a trainer and maybe help with instructing. Best decision I have made.

Fahim Tanha

Don't even think about this place... Horrible experience ever!

Good school.Listen and learn.Great pay

Ryan Elliott

The CDL school is run by a bunch of guys who are passionate about what they do. They teach you how to reliably control your in order to get you home safe without running anyone over. You can learn more here in a month than you can in a year from the major trucking companies. If you want a change of careers, or if you are tired of driving for your company this is the place for you.

I checked on multiple companies in my journey to get my CDL. The best sounding by far was Ft Worth CDL. FREE FREE FREE. Now with free comes people looking for "free" or a handout. You will find no handouts here. I applied and started the next week. My recruiter Stephanie has been there to assist with any questions or concerns I may have no matter how big or small. These people don't play around. I got sent home on the first day due to high blood pressure. I left that night, had a doctor's appointment the next morning, and came back one week later. It took me 5 weeks to complete the program, tested and now have my CDL. And it was 100% free. They even helped me with lodging because I'm not from the Fort Worth area. The instructors are tough but fair. If you are looking to be coddled... keep looking... seriously. I've not yet met a soft, sweet truck driver in my life. If you can't handle blunt and direct.. find a different career all together. The biggest jerk of the instructors turned out to be the biggest help. So if you do choose Ft. Worth CDL do yourself a favor -Listen instead of running your mouth and asking stupid questions. You just look foolish and you distract everybody else. And do yourself another favor... call around. You won't find a better deal. Other schools charge you in the thousands and there is no guarantee you're going to make the miles to pay back that loan. I owe $ 0.00 with exception of my lodging costs. But they did that as a courtesy and I couldn't have made it without them. A+++++ and would recommend checking here before you check elsewhere. And incase you wonder drug screening and physical is a DOT REQUIREMENT.
