Review of 160
Staff was extremely helpful in accommodating my timeline to complete this training. I felt that each staff member I worked with made it their personal goal to help me toward success. Great school and I would highly recommend.
Best experience ever
I can’t say enough about 160 Pompano Beach. I was nervous going there the first day but within a matter of minutes I realized what a good choice I had made, the entire staff is absolutely amazing. I had some trouble at first thinking that it was a lot to learn in a short time but the instructors told me to just put some effort into it and it would pay off and it did. The location is clean and well kept, the course is structured and well organized. I was by far one of the best experiences of my life. After the last day of school I was scheduled to take my CDL exam in 10 days and went to the testing site and killed it on the first try, I left there and went to the DMV the next day and got a hard copy of my license, what a good feeling to hold that license in my hand. Thank you 160 driving academy.
Drive 160 Tacoma
I took my cdl course at Tacoma, Washington and I just passed my CDL course and exams, and I couldn’t be more grateful to Drive 160 Academy and my amazing instructor, Sue! Sue has truly been a game changer — her guidance, patience, and dedication made all the difference. She understands every student’s unique challenges and works with so much care and encouragement. She not only teaches you how to drive but also makes learning fun and builds your confidence every step of the way. Thank you, Sue, for your wonderful support and for believing in your students. And a big thank you to Drive 160 Academy for providing such a great learning environment and opportunity. I highly recommend this school to anyone serious about getting their CDL — you’ll be in the best hands! And one last thing for Sue. We need that sign for ONE & DONE or JUST GOT MY CDL 😁
Driving
The experience was great. Always wanted to drive a truck since I was little. Called talked to Lillian. Told me what I had to do. Had an awesome teacher Dan Goul. Showed me everything I need to know. Helped me out with the manual truck. Now thanks to dan i got a job over the road.
Go big or go home
It was like an exciting roller coaster ride, up and down but mostly up, the instructors were amazing they were all very knowledgeable and very helpful. Each instructor had their own style of teaching and made it very clear that their goal was to get you to know how to manage and control that truck in the most safe way! I highly recommend this school to whoever is interested in getting their CDL in the most proficient way!!! Big ups to Archie, Chino, Edgar, Petia, Trifon, Joel and Marta!!!!
Fastest to get it One & Done!
From day one I knew this was the school to help me achieve my goals! The rep Victoria R. was instrumental in allowing me to stay focused on each step. Answered all questions and ensured I had everything I needed to continue. Dave “Rolling Thunder” Turner was my classroom instructor, with his help I was able to pass all three tests and get permitted within the first week. He was very personable and had the patients but pace that I loved to learn from. Zovan J. was my Yard head instructor who thanks to his no nonsense but encouraging demeanor I was able to stay on track and catch on very quickly. The other instructors Dominic and Jason Fleming were top tier! Thanks to their hands on and direct teachings ”blue print” I was able to build with safety, competence, and over all a balanced set of skills. Dom gave me the space and confidence to learn from my errors and quickly adjust, where Jay added the right amount of pressure to push me past my own expectations in remarkable time. Lead Instructor Lora Gates worked magic for me on test day when the DMV had fumbled, she was able to get everything cleared and got me testing only minutes later. Thanks to 160 Drive Academy I now have my Class A CDL with no manual restriction and full endorsements - T H N X. Thank you all for the help you give and the lives you change!
“Passed My CDL Thanks to 160 Driving School!”
I had a great experience at 160 Driving Academy while getting my CDL. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping students succeed. They made sure I was well-prepared not just to pass the test, but to feel confident and safe on the road. The hands-on training was excellent, and the staff was supportive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend 160 Driving School to anyone looking to start a career in trucking. Thanks for helping me take this important step!
Awesome Instructor Chris
So first and foremost, I started finished and completed this program graduated, I’ll give you my review on 160. I started the class after already obtaining my CDL Permit I was promised from the start it was a 4 week program and honesty it may of been a 4 week program if the Head Instructor quit my first week at the yard (let’s back track we’re getting ahead of ourselves) so the first week regardless is your classroom portion, it’s a full week of setting behind a screen. The lady over you Bridgette is friendly and wants you to succeed, but doesn’t come out of her office and is constantly on live on some app, overall the classroom portion isn’t terrible, they could do more to get the classroom involved, the second week is your PERMIT week, they force you to take the entire week off just to go get your permit, and drug test done (in reality if you study CRISTCDL.com you’ll pass on the first try, and if you can pass a drug test it should only take one full day to complete leaving Tuesday-Friday empty with nothing at all to do for class. Now starting The Yard training first day there were hit with high emotions and aggravation because the Lead instructor decides hes going to give his “To-Day” notice not two weeks “to-day” which is no blame to 160, however the other instructor Chris is tasked with teaching 12 students how to pre trip, how to drive, and how to do skills all on his own, Hes stretched SUPER THIN, and really could’ve used help, however Chris absolutely bombed it, an amazing instructor taught me so much and really goes out of his way to help each and everyone of his students he truly cares about his students and did an excellent job, I passed this all because of his dedication and passion to teaching, Would I recommend 160? Yes, there’s just minor things they should fix, and get going and they’d be 5 star company. I cannot express it enough Chris the instructor is a phenomenal person and will do everything in his power to help you succeed, ive learned so much from Chris, and would happily take any of his classes he hosts.
Great people and great community
When you first start enrolling into the program they make sure you know where you getting into super nice teachers the way they teach is just amazing and always making sure you are understanding everything
Perfectly Imperfect
This roller coaster I was prepared for but it still had me baffled at how hard it was. I was working while coming into skool 5 days straight knowing I’m accomplishing my goal of passing no matter what. All the staff members believed in me from; Kristi, Doug, Aunty Tracey, Henry, Coach Will, James, and uncle Darrell, not once did they give up on me and it helped a lot and I wanted to make’em proud because we all human none of us are perfect so to receive encouragement from my peers made it even better when I cross that finish line. Don’t be to hard on yourself it’s ok to be patient I failed my first two attempts but not my third so just believe in yourself and KEEP GOING! p.s GOD DID on gang’nem Yessirskii.
