$35 per week

Sage Logistics Co.

Job Description

Job Description

Earn Your CDL-A | No Upfront Tuition Payment Required | Optional Housing Available

Ready to invest in your future and start a career in trucking? Our CDL-A Academy offers a path to obtaining your Commercial Driver's License (CDL-A) without having to pay tuition upfront.

This structured training program is designed to help you prepare for your Commercial Learner's Permit (CLP), develop your driving skills, and work toward earning your CDL-A. With a manageable weekly tuition deduction and a company-funded payoff of the remaining balance after the initial payment period, you can take an important step toward a new career without having to cover the full cost on day one.

No obligation to work for the company after completing training. Your CDL-A is an investment in your future and can open doors to opportunities throughout the trucking industry.

Program Highlights
  • No upfront tuition payment required
  • Four-week training program: 20 business days, including one week of preparation for the CLP
  • Tuition: $7,995, paid through weekly payroll deductions after training
  • Optional housing: Shared hotel accommodation with another student
  • Hotel shuttle: Transportation to the Academy provided for students participating in the housing program
  • No post-graduation employment requirement
Tuition & Payment Structure

The program is designed to make CDL-A training more accessible through a structured payment arrangement.

  • Total tuition: $7,995
  • Weekly tuition deduction: $75 for 52 weeks, totaling $3,900
  • Company tuition payoff: After the 52-week deduction period, the company pays the remaining tuition balance, subject to the program's terms.

This structure allows you to work toward your CDL-A without paying the full tuition upfront.

Optional Housing Program

Need a place to stay during training? Students may participate in the optional housing program.

  • Total housing cost: $1,295
  • Weekly deduction: $35 for 37 weeks
  • Accommodations: Shared hotel room with another student
  • Transportation: Hotel shuttle to the Academy location

Housing is optional, and students who participate are responsible for the stated housing deductions.

Tuition Reimbursement Opportunity

For students who choose to continue their careers with the company, additional tuition reimbursement is available.

Students who remain with the company for the full 2.5-year qualifying period will begin receiving tuition reimbursement in week 54 , at $50 per week through week 78 , in accordance with the program's terms.

This offers an additional financial benefit for those who choose to build their careers with the company over the long term.

What You'll Need to Budget For

Although tuition payments are structured to reduce the initial financial barrier, students are responsible for certain additional expenses:

  • Meals and personal expenses during training
  • Applicable CDL testing, licensing, and other required fees

Please plan for these expenses before beginning the Academy.

Applicant Requirements

To qualify for the CDL-A Academy, applicants must meet the following requirements:

  • Be at least 21 years old
  • Have held a valid U.S. driver's license for at least 12 consecutive months
  • Have an acceptable Motor Vehicle Record (MVR)
  • Have no serious traffic violations within the past 12 months
  • Have no drug-related convictions within the past five years
  • Successfully pass both a urine drug test and a hair drug test at the beginning of the Academy

All applicants must meet the program's eligibility and qualification standards before beginning training.

Take the First Step Toward Your Future

A CDL-A can be the beginning of a new career path, and the right training program can help you take that first step with a clearer financial plan.

If you're motivated, meet the eligibility requirements, and are ready to invest in yourself, this Academy could be your opportunity to get started.

Apply today to learn more about the CDL-A Academy and take the next step toward your future in trucking.
