I just finished up with my sage program and received my hard copy license with my endorsements. The only thing I can say about one on one is its great in theory but not easy. Think about it!!!!! Eight HOURS A WEEK! UGH! THAT IS ONLY SPENDING *****EIGHT HOURS***** WITH YOUR TRAINER AND AROUND A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER. THATS NOTHING!!!!! if you really think about it. I KNOW I DID IT!!!!! there were five guys in my class and talking with them we all agreed. Its fine, and you will be fine, and I didn't write this to bust balls, im just telling you the reality of it. You must hold your permit for x amount of days before taking your driving test hence the five weeks of four hour training sessions. Sage is a truck driving school period! They will provide the equipment for the bare minimum amount of time needed! I just don't want you to think its " SAGE " it must be the best ever and their always going to do their best for me. Don't expect to jump in and drive for hundreds of miles while doing four hours of driving either! Those trucks burn fuel and fuel cost MONEY! that's all I am going to say. My instructor could not have been better! He was getting an hourly wage, that was insanely low! With that little bit of information, I wish you happy driving. I will say this again, this was not an attack on the SAGE program its fine, im fine, and you will be fine. I just wanted to say you are not alone if you feel any or some concerns with the driving end of the program. I will not write again on this subject! I have my license and nothing to prove or gain by responding to any post about my post. GOOD LUCK. ps I did not use spell check and I know I can not spell or type . TREAT YOU TRAINERS WITH RESPECT AND HEAR WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!! YOU ONLY HAVE A LIMITED AMOUT OF TIME BEHIND THE WHEEL>>>>>>> DONT WASTE ANY>>>>>>

I felt the same way when i was in school. Believe me Your Not Alone!!!! You are under a lot of pressure and its real but its not going to kill you. It took you 5 times to pass ur test soooo what YOU DID IT!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!now onto driving if you keep practicing you will get it... YOU WILL BE FINE!!! one problem at a time. Nobody is born a truck driver you have to learn how to do it, YOU ARE LEARNING Relax as much as you can and like the post before says try to enjoy it as much as you can. The more your in the truck the better your nerves will get. I have all the Faith in you!!! Your putting to much pressure o yourself!! relaxe and enjoy your life one day at a time. YOU WILL BE OK !!!!!!!
