Denver’s most popular truck driving job fair will be held May 15 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at SAGE Truck Driving School in Henderson. The fair is open to people with or without a CDL.

Trucking industry representatives will be on hand to answer basic questions about a new career as a professional driver, including how much a new driver can earn, career opportunities in trucking, a trucker’s lifestyle, fringe benefits, how to get a CDL, financial aid, and other important topics. Carriers at the job fair include May, Werner, Swift, Houg, and others. Each company is ready to hire experienced and new drivers.

Trucking companies are reporting a significant increase in freight traffic. Truck drivers are in high demand for both over-the-road and oilfield jobs. To meet the need, trucking companies are offering new employees more pay and benefits and drivers rarely face layoffs, even when the economy slows down.

“That’s why trucking is often rated one of America’s best middle-class jobs,” according to SAGE School Director, Bonnie Babcock. The fair will help prospective drivers get a feel for the industry.

SAGE Truck Driving School provides training for those with no experience so they can enter this fast-growing, high-paying field. SAGE has been a leader in providing quality CDL training for over 20 years. Many SAGE graduates earn in excess of $45,000 their first year. Most companies offer bonuses, health care options and other benefits.

SAGE highlights for new drivers include the following:

  • Free CDL prep course;
  • Loans, grants and financial aid;
  • VA, GI Bill, Workforce funding;
  • Class A or Class B options;
  • Private, maximum hands-on time;
  • One-on-one driving instruction;
  • Job-placement assistance;
  • Evening and weekend classes,
  • Industry-leading training standards;
  • No training contracts with any carrier; and
  • On-site CDL testing.
