Sage is a truck driving school that has classrooms nationwide, and is considered to be one of the best in the industry. W/S does offer their own in house cdl school, I think you’re able to work off the tuition, they do have tuition reimbursement which is something I’m taking advantage of myself. They have facilities at their Missoula terminal for lodging, weather you’re a “10 day orientation” (like me) or a “30 day student” there is no charge for lodging but food is up to you. They do have cars for you to use to get to the store for any supplies that you may need.
Currently I’m driving a van but am eligible for flatbeds after 90 days, W/S does not haul refers, I’ve spent most of my time in the Western states but if you desire the East they will gladly route you there as they do have several runs from GA/NJ/OH. The majority of freight is carpet, furniture, paper and liquid beverages, most is no touch or drop/hook. Trucks are late model Freightliners and Volvos.
I was dispatched a load to my home town, when I got here I asked my dispatcher for a couple days off, his reply “no problem, call me in a couple of days when you’re ready to go back out” I’m liking it here.
Feel free to PM me if you need any specific details.
