    I'm a resident of Michigan, but am following my father to South Florida in July of this year. I was thinking of attending SAGE in Ft Pierce, but it says: "Certificate Program – (320 hour) with proof of 1 year Florida residence - $4,725.60 Classes start every week." Does this mean that I need to live in Florida for 1 year before being able to graduate from SAGE? Also can I get hired to truck companies that hire from Florida even when I didn't live there for a year?

    I don't want to wait a year doing nothing, and I'm not sure if I should apply to truck companies in Michigan and hired here first before moving to Florida.

    I would probably give the Secretary of State's office a call as well as SAGE to get definite answers.

    Its offered from a state college, most if not all colleges give discounts to in state residents. I wouldn't think it would matter to any company if you lived there a year.

    Are there alot of companies hiring from south Florida?

    Northern Cuba Trucking Association has a list of companies hiring in that area.

    They're in the phone book.
