NC Schools - Advice?

Does anyone here have experience you would care to share about the following NC schools:

1) Carolina Trucking Academy, Raleigh, NC
2) NC Truck Driver Training School (Johnston Community College)
3) SAGE, Rocky Mount, NC (Nash Community College)

Good? Bad? Recommendations? Experience?

Thanks in advance for any help in choosing the right one.

Soundman,

I can't testify yet but I just applied to Johnston County Community College myself. It's supposed to be excellent. Pull up their website and request info. They'll send you a pamphlet and an application. Cost is under $700 for in-state and each class has a recruiters day. Puts you in a position to be a little more choosy with who you hook up with. I'm hoping to get in the 5 May day class but they do offer a night course (+ weekends). I talked to a Schneider driver the other day and he said his mother (!) went through it. I got his e-mail address and I'm gonna get him to pass mine to her to see if I can get some additional scoopage. If I do, I'll pass it along.

Any additional information would be great. I have looked at their website and sent for their information package. The location and cost would both work well for me. It would be reassuring to hear of others who are satisfied customers. Thanks for the quick reply.
