Graduated Students
Forever grateful!!
The whole process from beginning to end was what I would call "a breath of fresh air." Lori at the branch office made initial process inviting and comfortable. So much so that I didn't even want to talk to any other schools. I appreciate her for getting me started on my journey. Then, meeting Rob Meyers was where I knew this was going to be exactly what I needed. He assured me that I was going to get the best instructions and education possible, and that he and his instructors were going help me build my confidence to the point where I know for a fact I will be a successful driver. "Mama" Lisa and Ms. K. were exactly what I needed. They exhibited qualities as instructors that not only challenged your abilities to drive, but also challenged your personal self to have the courage to fail so you can succeed. I applaud and am gratefully appreciative of the time, patience, and quality of work that everyone gave to ensure I get to where I am now.....CDL certified!!

10 out of 10, the best program around!
I knew it was a good program from the moment I started interacting with Kristina when she was getting me registered. She was respectful and joyful, fun to talk with and I could tell she wanted me to excel in the program. she took care of everything for me and helped me through the process. Then for my week of online training, Craig was amazing, to say the least! He was extremely knowledgeable as well as personable. He made the class fun and taught me exactly what I needed to, and was able to form an amazing rapport through the camera. Then once I got to the yard I got to meet Jeff and Moose, let me tell you, you won't meet another pair of guys as amazing as these two! They are very professional and help you get the skills you need and when things seem like you aren't going to pass or you're not cut out for this. You turn around and here comes one if not both of them to help break it down and help you understand. On top of their amazing teaching skills, they are just all-around fun people to be around! If your kind of teacher is someone who is knowledgeable yet so fun and personable to be around, then these two are your guys. They can form a good rapport with every single student that comes through, including myself. Every single person involved in this program that I interacted with has left their mark on my life. I find myself thinking that it's a little bittersweet now that I have graduated just because I won't have the privilege of being a part of such an amazing program. All of it will be an experience that I will not soon be forgetting. If you are looking for a program to get your CDL I HIGHLY recommend 160 Driving Academy, trust me you won't regret it! And a final thank you to every single staff member of 160 Driving Academy!
160 training
Katherine was very helpful and professional at the Toledo location. The class material was taught at a great pace and it helped set me up to pass my permit the first go around. Thanks Katherine and Liz
Great tool for success
I had little to no knowledge about driving a commercial vehicle before taking this course. I found the information to be spot on! The instructor Liz is very knowledgeable and was an incredible asset to my learning experience. Our director Katherine is amazing at doing anything needed to help in the process accommodating all of my issues that have come up for me. I am very pleased and thankful for the opportunity this course has supplied me. Thank you guys!!
Teachers Who Cares About Their Student’s Success
Where can I begin? I came into 160 Driving Academy about 2 years ago and didn’t have the money to pay for it so I saved up and applied myself as soon as I got there. I watched one video of my Assistant Lead Instructor Fletcher Harley and I told him that I wasn’t coming out on the yard until I felt like I was ready. Little that I knew, by the time I came out there I was far advanced from most of the students there, but it wasn’t enough for me. So the harder I went on myself the more I studied and showed my determination to get it and understand what I was looking for and talking about pertaining to the Pre Trip. Then, the shocking news that rarely happens actually happened to me. They took me out on the road to practice on a manual shift on just my 3rd day of being on the yard. I observed, I went hard on myself when I did something I knew better than to do because my instructors kept telling me the formula to perform every maneuvers, in which, was the exact same thing that they were explaining to everyone else. My determination and motivation from looking at my wife and kids asleep in bed was the fuel I needed everyday to do better than the day before so I can provide a better life for my family and with the help of 160 Drive Academy Staff. I’ve never seen any group of teachers that cares more for their students until I came to 160 Drive Academy. I appreciate everything they instilled in me to help me understand what I needed to know and made sure I was ready before I set off to do my road test. Thank you guys from the bottom to the top of my heart. I DID IT‼️💪🏾 With YOUR HELP 💪🏾❤️🖤💯💯 Calvin “Mr. Dance-A-Lot” Hunt was a ONE & DONE‼️ Thanks to you guys. Thank You‼️
Best school for a cdl
Everyone there was great from the office to the yard. Chris is very good at what he does. Complete info on everything you need to know. Lillibeth was amazing and was always on top of everything. And the yard, Scott was very helpful and patient as he could be. Thank you to all of the staff in Tulsa for the knowledge and help getting my cdl.
Unforgettable Experience
160 Academy is awesome. The instructors are amazing and very informative. Dewayne helped me through the starting process and taking classes and Ralph guided me with the right tools needed to pass my CDL driving test . At times I felt like giving up, they gave me the encouragement to keep going until I succeeded in getting my CDL license. And now because of 160 Academy and these incredible instructtors, I am on my way to a new career.
