The Hidden Skills Trucking Companies Care About More Than Driving

Truck driving is about much more than shifting gears, backing into a dock, or passing your CDL exam. Today’s carriers are looking for professional drivers who can think critically, communicate effectively, use technology, and represent their company well every time they get behind the wheel.

In fact, many employers say the difference between an average driver and a great one has less to do with driving ability and more to do with the professional skills they bring to the job.

At 160 Driving Academy, students don’t just learn how to earn a CDL—they develop the skills that help them succeed throughout their trucking careers.
