Sage Technical Services

I attented sage in my hometown in 1998, graduated in 1999 and found the school to be very good. They are known here to have testing scores in the 90% area at the state test site. The driver trainer in truck time was one on one at that time. I went through a local transport company and had to agree to work for them for six months, after completion I left with good training and my CDL, and no residual tuition bills. If you can find the money to pay the 3500 hundred tuition yourself, you will have better options upon graduation. A fine school. drive55cat

 

I have a number of friends who went through the Sage school in NC at Isothermal Community College. They appreciated the one instructor with no other students in the truck during their driving time. Surprisingly about 1/3 of their students come from out of state. I have heard as far away as California. It is the only Sage school I have heard anything about though.

 

I went to Sage just over a year ago, and after seeing what the School where I work is like, I thank my lucky stars that I got outside schooling. I paid a lot more than most places, but I also got a lot more out of it. The Sage in northern Idaho was great; laid back, informative, and with enough diversity in the teachers that you didn't get just one side of the story. Plus, they let us park our truck at their range when we're home, which takes care of trying to find a home for it. All in all, I really enjoyed my training there.

 

How's going Harley, I have been also looking for a truck company to go to. I have read bad thing about Stevens and CR in this forum that just happen to find today. Drivers Solutions also offer me to go their school and work for PAM. I would like to hear more about this company, the brochures look they are organized and it seems fair to start with.

Thank You

I talked to a lady from one of SAGE's driving schools, and for the 150 hour (44 hour one-on-one driving) course it costs $3995. I swear I read on their website that they provide housing, but at least for that location you have to pay for a hotel. Perhaps I was wrong. I should be getting an email from them with more information, so if I get some new info I'll que you in.

 

I just got a recent quote for SAGE in Columbia, SC... 4085$.. Everything included.. Taxes.. The whole deal. Lodging was not mentioned being that I do not need it. Hope this helps.
