    So this is called a SAGE school, and it is $4,000 for 4-5weeks and 150 hours, they say they are PTDI certified but I found no information about it on the official PTDI website, so is this school any good?

    It's this one:

    Thanks

    But all the SAGE school are the same right? One on one meaning on the road only or the classroom is one on one also?

    I went to Sage in Utah. Great school and program. classroom is several students, typical classroom environment. All the driving is one on one. It doesnt get any better. When you drive 40hrs, you actually drive the 40hrs. Many others have you log the 40 hrs, but you only get 10 or so because you share the driving with other students in the truck.
    You won't be sorry, best of luck to you

    They say they have lifetime placement assistance, is that true? Meaning I can get their help for truck driving jobs the rest of my life?
    And the $4,000 tuition, is that all I have to pay, and that DOT physical, drug screening, CDL fees are all included in the tuition or is it separate?

    Job assistance is what I hear. I have not used it, tho, because I do just as well with internet and calling myself I feel. But I know they are there if I want. I am pretty sure the all the fees were included. I seem to remember them issuing a check to pay for DOT phys and license.

    Sage in Kingman does not have sleeping facilities. Class room is small, maybe 2-3 students. Driving is One on One.
