Awesome CDL School
My experience with 160 Driving Academy was excellent! The ELDT training was very informative, which made the Classroom training, easy to complete! The site manager, Zach was very knowledgeable and very eager to help with anything that I needed. Also, he was very professional! The instructors on the yard were great and knowledgeable truck drivers in the past they gave very helpful ways to learn how to get your CDL! Scott and Derek were very good and helpful because they allowed me to make mistakes and figure out how to correct them after they gave me the proper guidance on how to do each maneuver once. Bill was a great yard Manager, although I will Say he should smile a little more because everybody really knows he’s just a big self teddy bear below that tough exterior🤣!! But no, really all joking aside they were all great instructors on the yard and a big shout out to chris the manager of several sites as well for showing me how to do the final maneuver!! And last, but not least the state examiners over at the other office are great people as well especially Bill my state examiner he was Great and a nice guy!! So if you’re thinking about giving 160 in Columbus, Ohio a try go for it I highly recommend them. Five stars is not enough.
Great Thanks to Tiname,Tre, Barry, Joe & Mark
My review is directly intended for Steve Gold. I give 5 STARS to ALL of the instructors at 160 Driving Academy: Lincroft New Jersey office/Freehold New Jersey Training Yard. First and foremost. I must begin with my initial contact to enroll, with the Lincroft, NJ. office. I spoke with Tiname, she is absolutely amazing! She has demonstrated a genuine caring and commitment to seeing that the Academy's students succeed. I have such an appreciation and respect for her level of professionalism. If I had a question or concern. If Tiname did not reply that same day, she would get back to me within 24 hours. Any issue that came up, she was on top of it, and it got resolved immediately. Tiname made the process smooth and stress-free. This was very important to me because at the time of enrollment and during my yard training. I was working 3 Jobs, actively looking for a new residence to move to and nursing my mom back to good health (which is ongoing), thus my delay in writing my review. I am so grateful that Tiname was the 'Gatekeeper' to my entering the 160 Driving Academy. Receiving my CDL is not just a credential for a trucking job. For me, it's a huge step into a career that's literally "A LIFE CHANGER". I am blessed with the opportunity to financially provide for and uplift my entire Family!! As for the 'keep it real' Instructors at the Freehold, NJ. /Brookdale Community College location: TRE - BARRY -JOE and MARK are GREAT! Bar none. They are committed, passionate, and very likeable individuals. They bring a collective wealth of knowledge of real-world situations in the trucking industry, to serve as a reality check to the vast responsibility we have to "Safety, Safety, Safety", on our roads. To be ever aware and conscious of this fact is of primary importance, and we as students thank The Academy's Instructors for the context in which their priceless guidance has been given. The instructors knew how to engage us in instruction and conversation, as we all have different ways of learning and absorbing the information that we were given. That's an impressive and acquired skillset not to be taken for granted. The instructors are No-Nonsense, but the many light moments of laughter that we've shared with them has balanced everything out. If I had to do it all over again. I would choose no other location but this one! I sincerely thank ALL of the instructors for "being there" not just for me, but for all of the students. I definitely chose the right place to get my CDL. I intend to "Pay It Forward" for future 160 Driving Academy Students. Steve, Happy 2025 New Year! And thanks for creating your awesome Academy. As we students helped each other to remember the script/required knowledge to pass our CDL Tests. We developed a sense of camaraderie in helping one another. That's quite an invaluable lesson to learn anywhere. Happy New Year to Tiname, Tre, Barry, Joe and Mark. As well as to the 160 Driving Academy ALUMNI. Much Love and Appreciation!
Great
I would like to thank the whole team at 160 in Commerce City. The school really helped me grasp the ins and outs of safely operating a tractor trailer. All the instructors were great. They all had different ways of teaching and that also helped to learn more than one way to look at things. Thanks again to the team.
Great experience
Everyone who is with 160 will go beyond and will help you out with getting you ready for your CDL all you have to do is to listen to them all of the instructors are the greatest they take the time the one's at the Harvey yard are the best hands down the best I'm know a class A driver because of them
Great Experience!
160 Driving Academy Monroe is an exceptional choice for obtaining your CDL. This group of instructors are most definitely among the best for you to obtain your CDL. Because of their experience and fantastic teaching skills, I was able to pass my test on the first try! As a bonus for training at Monroe…yo get your CDL Training and are also tested right at 160 Driving Academy Monroe/Tannersville! You can't beat that!
Samuel and his team is awesome
Just amazing the experience with this group of people in this organization is just freaking amazing I have now created a better life for me and my family because of the influence that Mr Samuel and his team has given me honestly if you fail this course then you wasn’t actually paying attention to these gentlemen because they mean nothing but the best they make it personal for you becoming a great truck driver

Thank you for all the help!!!
I had an amazing experience from beginning to end. My recruiter Gianna was incredibly helpful through the whole process of getting into the academy and went digging for any promotions she could find for me to make my experience just that much more pleasant. She was incredibly kind and respectful through the whole process and was always just a call away anytime I needed anything regarding the process. The school itself was also very enjoyable, they made it easy to learn the material and it didn't feel like a chore to go to class and learn. Definitely recommend coming to 160 Driving Academy if you are ever planning on getting your CDL!!!!!
A fellow student
My experience with 160 was good, I managed to be a one and done thanks to my instructors, when I was sent to Topeka instructor James Watson really made me feel welcomed, almost like I had been there the whole time and helped me get my CDL.
