School recommendation in DFW area? Or any other schools in other areas with exceptional training?

The school I have been going to is decent, granted I have nothing to compare it to, but outside of some of the material being outdated (which they are working on... finally). But Sage Truck Driving School is not located in the DFW area. Mine is here in San Antonio. First 2 weeks are classroom learning, then you get 3 yard drives, then 7-8 on the road drives, first few on the road ones are in industrial park, less 4 wheeler traffic then last couple are on the path you do for road test. the prescribed time frame is about 3 weeks, however that's assuming you have all your tests done by the last day of classroom training cause they won't schedule you for those drives till then.

tuition is something like $4400, plus MVR, drug screen, dot physcial, per mit and other dmv test costs. because they partner with our local community college you can get fin aid that will cover a little more than half of the tuition.

I heard alot of good things about sage at St phillips college. Are you a resident of San Antonio? If not what ate you doing for the housing situation because they told me that they don't provide housing. Did you find any discounted hotel?

School recommendation in DFW area? Or any other schools in other areas with exceptional training?

Hello,

I was wondering what would be a good training school to go in the DFW area? I was thinking about joining RAIDER EXPRESS i don't know if i will be accepted. I'm clean no usage of drug. Only have two speeding tickets one for 11 and 14 within last 3 years. Not much of a work history i been in college spring and fall and work in factory's and security during the summer since i graduated high school .. 23 years old now. No degree and Truck Driving is something that has been on my mind for the past 6 months.

I have already been accepted to STEVENS TRANSPORT but i feel like i wont be prepared for the road test after two weeks with them with 3 other students in the trucks seems like it will be hectic. I don't want to fail and end up getting stuck with the bill. I'm looking for something more ONE ON ONE training wise with a smaller class size. And i want to learn how to actually do the job right.

Thanks and have a merry Christmas!
