Positive experience: Pros: -Instructors make this school. Crash, Frank, and Russell are great instructors with many years of experience. Clarence is a foul mouthed, cranky old man with no patience. -Plenty of time behind the wheel to practice and pass the DPS exam. -One on one driving sessions (mostly) Every now and then two students might need to be paired up due to low number of trucks. -Sage makes sure you are fully ready to pass the DPS exam. -Job recruiters will visit school and most students will walk away with at least several pre-employment offers. -DPS test is done on site and provided by the school. Cons: -Way too overpriced. There are several schools in the San Antonio area, and Sage is definitely one of the most expensive. Scholarships are available but you have to meet their criteria. -Student cohorts, which begin about every two weeks, are overfilled which leads to scheduling conflicts. SAGE likes to fill the cohorts with as many students as possible, with a limited amount of trucks and instructors so be ready to wait to graduate from anywhere to 3-4 months. CDL course is NOT 8 weeks as they claim. -Trucks are old and would not reasonably pass most DOT inspections. Overall, SAGE is not a bad place to acquire your CDL. The instructors are great and they will make sure you are ready for the DPS test and a career in trucking. The cost however is very high and there are many options in the San Antonio area which are more reasonably priced, but perhaps with less time behind the wheel. Ask plenty of questions and make the best decision to your needs. If you are in a hurry to get your CDL, then SAGE is not for you. For a quality experience, SAGE is the right place for you.
