The Road of Freedom Now Begins...
I would never have thought about being a truck driver in a million years. This career was never on my radar. However, when I found myself out of a job (not by my choice), my family and I prayed about this career after a friend recommended truck driving. We believed God was telling us to go in this direction so we did. We scraped up what little money we had and I enrolled. The whole experience was an adventure worthy of a movie...there were wins, losses, tears, frustration, anger, despair, disappointment (I failed the test the first time), and finally the victory of obtaining the CDL. Lou (the branch manager) was encouraging throughout the process. Cheryl (chief instructor) along with Leslie, David, Buck, Ernie, Mark, and Adrian all had the patience of Job especially since I had come from an analytical background and wanted to know how things worked (e.g. overthinking). I would have never thought one recommendation from the veteran portion of the Kentucky Career Center for 160 Driving Academy would be the portal to change...I am so thankful that God put the right people in my life to achieve this milestone and my family is ready to ride on the road of freedom.
The best
The instructors are the best! They want you to pass and will help you if you just ask.
LORI CLASSES IS FIRE !!!!
At first, I was kind of skeptical when the branch manager told me my first three weeks was going to be on online classes whether I went to the New Britain school or did it from home and if you’re anything like me I’m more of a hands on Tyler die that’s how I learn but I’m gonna be honest Lori is a good teacher and she makes those online classes fine and knowledgeable as long as you listen to what she’s talking about and what she’s explaining and you pay attention you are going to learn as downed. The last class was very fun. She turned it into a game, but learning at the same time. Thank you Miss Lori I wouldn’t. I have passed my CDL permit if it wasn’t for you.
Fresh start
160 really wants us to not only pass but to be successful. The instructors gets to know you Individually, this helps them figure out what works for you individually. Tiffany is VERY helpful as well she expects you to learn the information in class rather than memorizing it. All and all I would say 160 really gets you ready for the real world.
Best Decision
What a great program with great group of instructors to help You complete your goal of getting a Class A CDL. The branch manager was super helpful in the process and the “Yard” instructors were an amazing group of individuals teaching and sharing their knowledge to ensure your success. Couldn’t have been happier with experience and can say it’d be the best decision you make. THANK YOU 160 (Dave, Steve, Dwayne, Josh, Bob)
Former student
If I could give them 6 stars I would…these guys were extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. When I had a question they answered it directly or pointed me in the right direction to get the answer..all of the instructors were very well trained and they all have had many years of driving experience and they are very patient with the students…there was no yelling or screaming or getting frustrated…they didn’t make you feel stupid for not understanding certain things. I would recommend this school to anyone who is wanting to start their career as a truck driver…if you do go tell them I sent ya 😉
160 driving academy
The thing that made me keep going there because I had a instructor that said, "I will never quit on you so dnt quit yourself". And they work at your pace. I took the test 1 time and graduated, my hole class graduated that day.

CDL Classes
I had a wonderful experience at 160 Driving Academy. I got training and experience from instructors with a lot of experience in the field. Passed all my permitting and licensing on the first try, One and Done!! Thanks guys!!
CDL
The instructors were amazing, had a lot of knowledge and patients. Had my doubts I could learn stick shift so quick but Collin broke it down and simplified everything that needed to happen in order to shift properly. 10/10 would definitely recommend going to 160.
