Sage Truck Driving School – CDL Training – Caldwell, ID

The SAGE driver–training program provides students with the ideal mix of classroom and “hands-on” training. The program is modeled upon the curriculum developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

On average, programs can be completed in 4-8 weeks depending on student availability, scheduling and SAGE location. This program fully meets the needs of students with no prior knowledge or experience in truck driving.

SAGE provides students with the same tractors and trailers used by today’s leading trucking companies. And the school has driving pads that include multiple turns, backing lanes and other features students practice on before driving on public streets. This is one of the premier driver training facilities in the country.

Upon successful completion of the program in accordance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation 49 CFR 380.503 and pasSAGE of the ID Class A Commercial Driver’s License graduates will be certified as an entry–level tractor trailer driver.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics lists heavy truck drivers as an occupation with high projected growth. According to the Bureau, “as the economy grows, the demand for goods and services will increase and more truck drivers will be needed to keep supply chains moving.” Trucking is considered to be one of the top job categories according to industry statistics. The American Trucking Association reports that through the year 2025 an estimated 890,000 drivers will need to be hired; this means over 88,000 drivers will be needed each year to meet industry growth and driver retirements. And there is no need to move: live in Idaho and take advantage of local, regional or national trucking job opportunities!

Many students get pre–hired by a major trucking company as a truck driver before starting class. This means your background has been reviewed by a major hiring carrier, and all you have to do is obtain a CDL and meet final hiring requirements.

In our SAGE program, each student receives one-on-one over the road training, on the road, behind the wheel with an experienced instructor – unheard of at many other school or career programs.

SAGE has years of job placement experience and long-established relationships with trucking industry recruiters throughout the nation. SAGE guarantees to provide you with job placement assistance not only while you are a student, but also for as long as you maintain a “clean” CDL and you are willing to work in the trucking industry.
