Angry Sage Technical Quotas?

Does the director each Sage school have to meet monthly quotas for students who attend? Seems like I was pressured to attend ASAP at Sage...with the director knowing my background, nothing major, but it hampers my chances of getting a driving job.

This, I am finding out now, after I graduate. Before that, I was reassured that my license suspension wouldn't affect me getting a job. It was suspended on my error, not a DWI, or drug related, only being suspended for a month because I moved from AZ to NY, and had to take care of the matter via mail and the phone. But, every trucking company I've talked to so far says that because my license shows up as having been suspended on my 3 year driver's report, that disqualifies me. EVERY company has told me that. Except TMC, which sent me a pre-hire. I talked to the recruiter and he said he has to do paperwork, then for me to call back on Friday. Supposedly, I go to orientation on Oct. 27. If, when I call back to TMC, they turn me down, I will be very upset, to say the least. I am starting to feel I have been bamboozled into attending Sage.

yeah - it does seem as though you got stiffed. I went to Sage here in CO, and they were anxious for me to attend, but they didn't pressure me.

There IS a certain quota they need to meet.. I don't think it's so much as an arbitrary number assigned by corporate, but more along the lines of "we need this many students in order to pay our bills"
