    Hello, I currently getting ready to start Sage here in the next month. I'm just wanting to know what I'm looking forward to. I was told I could not do my dot physical or drug test at the local clinic (thru my dr I trust) and I had to go thru them. I am not one who goes to the Dr on a regular basis and dont really like people touching me so If I knew what to expect I can prepare myself. If any one has any info on their procedure I would appreciate it. Thank you

    Sage is a great school. And they really won't be touching you for a dot physical. It's pretty basic. Blood pressure,weight, eyes, hearing. I think the only time the doc touched me was when she checked my knees. Whole thing took maybe 15 minutes.

    I went to Sage in Rocky Mount NC. Great school. I start orientation with Watkins Shepard this monday in Conover. You should take a look at them. They are also out of Missoula.

    Must depend on the location I guess, when I talked to Sage out here in Denver they told me I could just go out and get a DOT physical myself
