    I forgot too add that you may not be able to get into your first choice company no matter what school you go to so just suck it up and go to who ever will hire you for the first year and then try to get into your first choice later.

    I had my permit and was ready for school but you will have to still study in class because they do alot of pratice tests to make sure that you have learned what they teach. They will make you do pratice test before the class goes and gets their permits they are graded and the grades are all recorded you will have a gpa at the end of school. Mine was 92.39 I did bad on one test and was slipping on a few others most of my grades were 85-100 had one for 63 I did the wrong test then flied through the right test and got the answers missed up with the numbers

    Take the best opportunity training you can get and stay with it for a year. It does not matter the type of trailer when it comes to your health. Just eat right; leave the buffets alone or use common sense. (No seconds, thirds, etc.) Balance between protein and carbohydrates and walk at a good pace every day for at least 30 minutes. Some stretching and other exercise are always good, but you may not have the time each day. However, if you follow these common sense rules you should be okay. By the way, stay away from so called diet food and snacks. They are not diet and you will blow up from eating them.

    Good luck and Keep Smiling.

    Sage is only 150 hours but the training is on on one in the truck that is how they slide by with alot of companies.
    I can go anywere I want to after my accident that I had is 12 months or older. I only have 6 months left for that.
    Most companies say 160 but all of them will take the 150 if they like the school.
