So far I've never had to back with more than one other student, I got my own truck and idled until it was my turn. Still you get a good amount of backing time. I heard of a student in another school in my area who was in a truck 8 hours and got 30 minutes of backing time. You do get one on one with an instructor when you're driving on the road. Sage is not the cheapest route to get your CDL but not the most expensive either. Personally I'm glad I went with them. Back when I was looking for schools. Sage school out of Salt Lake had a ratio of 1 to 1. __________________ There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

I just went through Sage in SLC and they definitely did not have a student / instructor ratio of 1:1. On the road driving IS one student / one instructor per truck, though. Sage Corporation in general is like all CDL schools in that their primary purpose is to get you your CDL rather that to fully train you for a trucking job. However, I thought the instructors at Sage in SLC were pretty awesome guys who did their best to give students the best possible training within that framework. If you are in the area I highly recommend them.
