But the thing that truly separates them from any other school, is they treat you like your family, they actually CARE.

From the front office folks, Jelena, Candice and Michelle(who are God sends) to ALL the driving instructors. You WILL pass your state test.
Special shout out to Matt, Sean, Tony and Max for treating me like I was family and wanting me to do nothing but Ace the test. It meant the world to me. If I missed someone I apologize, but do understand I'm old. You guys are the best! The Sage Truck Driving School was great to work with. Put me on their attendance list as soon as possible, class instruction was great, but the hands on driving definitely was helpful not only for myself but everyone in the class. Helena and her team of instructors and office staff are the best, I highly recommend Sage to anyone looking to go through CDL driving school Everybody was great. Very helpful. I can’t say enough. Staff is thorough, friendly and helpful. Amazing school and great instructors I First showed up at Sage a little intimidated and afraid by the massive size of the vehicles, as I was about ready to learn to drive. Everyday that passed I gained more knowledge and truly was looking forward to learn what holding a CDL was all about.
Since day one of training I knew I was confident and in the trusting hands of Sage.

Для всіх тих, хто хоче почати свою кар’єру в сфері перевезень я рекомендую цю школу. Всі інструктора професійні водії с великим досвідом, завжди підскажуть, покажуть та допоможуть якщо це потрібно. Від моменту початку теорії до екзамену пройшло приблизно 40 днів, майте це на увазі якщо вам потрібна швидкість, а не якість. Велика увага приділяється паркуванню, але в програму школи не входе парковка під 90 градусів , але якщо захочете спробувати то вам допоможуть. Траки всі в гарному стані, в ході навчання ви їздите і по місту, хайвею, невеликих дорогах , а також на майданчику де вчитесь виконувати різні вправи.
Рекомендую!  I felt completely comfortable there, while in the classroom as well as in the yard and on the road learning in the trucks.
The instructors were down to earth and relatable while being completely professional.
Thank you for providing an educational foundation for the next step in my life. I can't say enough good things about the staff and trainers at Sage Truck Driving School. Not only did they provide excellent training, but they were supportive when, to quote one of my trainers, I "lost my way" and needed to get my mojo back. They were patient, and broke down the steps into manageable pieces and cheered me on when I suceeded. Jelena worked with me to help me be successful. Worth the cost and commitment if you are willing to put in the work. My sincere thanks to you all!! Good place to get CDL
All the staff friendly & happy to help students
Am glad I chose SAGE Ttuck Driving School     Place is very well ran!!!  I can write about my experiences. The two I’ve been through but it will not be believable, so just to keep a long story short. THIEVES. Take your money somewhere else  Lots of exciting opportunities Excellent Great School! Everybody was very friendly and laid back very helpful and always in a good mood. Special thanks to Cathy and Ernie! They were patient and talk to you through your trip. I'm actually sad that my schooling is over.  I’d give zero stars if I could.

I received my CDL here. Sage Gave a glowing recommendation for Doug Andrus out of Idaho Falls so I signed on with DA.  Doug Andrus wanted me to falsify my Hours of Service Logs so I quit and reported them to FMCSA. When I reported what happened to Sage, Sage told me that they have a good reputation with Doug Andrus and I must be mistaken.

I won’t recommend a school that will preach one thing then look the other way when it happens in real life.  Great place to learn to drive very good course. New trucks to learn on . Great staff Such CAREING teachers I graduated on 8/22/2019 all I can say wow!! The instructors are incredibly patient and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Staff here was wonderful! This is an excellent example of getting what you pay for. While Sage is more expensive than a lot of schools, it is WELL worth the money. The instructors at the Caldwell school are all professionals. They were intelligent and encouraging, even for a student like me who struggled at parts of learning to drive. Even after graduation I felt there was no problem with me coming in and asking questions about specific companies or just driving in general. And let me also say that if you graduate from Sage. it is a major bonus when getting jobs from the best companies out there. Excellent instructors that go far above and beyond any expectations I had before starting. If you're looking for a trucking school, to upgrade your license or just brush up on a few things I would highly recommend Sage in Caldwell. Everyone working here is absolutely amazing. From Jelena the director who got me started the day after my funding was approved to all the classroom and driving instructors, Dan, Perry, Janet, Bert, Doug and Matt, who took their time with me even though I was on an accelerated refresher course to make sure I passed all the testing. They routinely have companies to talk to and do what they can to get you with a great company. They are awesome! Today was dot class at my new job in ND and I had by far most CDL knowledge in class. These guys did a fantastic job packing me full of info and I feel fully geared up with knowledge! Thanks Jolena, Terry, Janet, Doug, Perry, Dan, Bert, Ernie you guys are best!! Excellent training, patient staff.

I recommend this school to anyone who wants to start a career in transportation. All instructors are professional drivers with extensive experience who will always advise, show and help if necessary. It takes about 40 days from the start of the theory to the exam, keep that in mind if you want speed and not quality. Much attention is paid to parking, but the school program does not include parking at 90 degrees, but if you want to try, they will help you. The trucks are all in good condition, during training you drive around the city, highway, small roads, as well as on the playground where you learn to perform various exercises.
I recommend!

I felt completely comfortable there, while in the classroom as well as in the yard and on the road learning in the trucks.
The instructors were down to earth and relatable while being completely professional.

From Jelena the director who got me started the day after my funding was approved to all the classroom and driving instructors, Dan, Perry, Janet, Bert, Doug and Matt, who took their time with me even though I was on an accelerated refresher course to make sure I passed all the testing. They routinely have companies to talk to and do what they can to get you with a great company.
