My experience with Julie from Palos Heights was the best. Julie made sure from the beginning that all of my questions were answered and all my needs were met. Julie is simply amazing, professional and personable. Julie, you are the best!!

Julie M is the GOAT!

There’s a lot I can say about Julie, but I’m going to keep this as short and sweet as possible. Julie is the absolute best and keeps this program alive. Julie is incredibly passionate about her career as well as each and everyone of her students. Julie is kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and so down to earth. Julie treats everyone of her students like gold; she cares about us and our success. She always guides her students in their best interests for them to be successful. I always kept Julie’s good luck token with me; the smarties that she gives to every student. I can now say I successfully earned my CDL license thanks to Julie! Thank you Julie for your motivation and kind words every time I needed it! As well, Julie deserves a huge raise! From one successful student to the next, trust in Julie!

Florence 160

From the beginning the staff was very upfront and direct with their instructions and what we needed to accomplish each day. Staff was helpful and treated us with respect guiding me to “One and Done!!” I appreciate their guidance and the friendships we developed. Thank you Florence 160 Driving Academy

COME AS YOU ARE - THIS IS YOUR SCHOOL!!!

I walked into this school an Accountant and walked out a Confident CDL Graduate and FEMALE Trucker!! Mrs. Julie Mensching was my continuous catalyst and support system from DAY 1 - Mrs. Julie answered all of my questions, texts, emails, phone calls, & seemed to be awake 24 hrs a day!! She's resourceful, Encouraging, PROFESSIONAL, Thoughtful, Trustworthy, Witty, exciting to work with & a SUPERB Branch Manager that never let anything slip through the cracks with students. She is her own Personal Assistant!! ENROLLMENT PROCESS - 10 STARS CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE - 10 STARS PROFESSIONALISM OF STAFF - 10 STARS YARD INSTRUCTORS - 10 STARS ORGANIZATION OF CURRICULUM & YARD TRAINING - 10 STARS COMFORTABILITY OF STUDENTS - 10 STARS *WEATHER WHILE ENROLLED - 0 STARS (It was FREEZING!!) LOL **The classroom learning environment was spacious, clean, comfortable, well-lit, & stress free. Easy to concentrate & communication with instructors was awesome! I truly learned there are no DUMB questions because all of mine were answered without prejudice. ** The YARD TRAINING is where I wanted to faint a thousand times, HOWEVER, the instructors did not allow me to do that! I exhibited every emotion known to man including tears and it didn't faze any of my instructors. They all were passionate, caring, sympathetic, but REFUSED to let me give up. The instructors were like drill sergeants at times to instill in students the importance of SAFETY & PERSEVERANCE which is key in Trucking - I respect that 1,000% The instructors work one-on-one with students to perfect any problem areas until they get it right!! The student trailers were a warm safe place to take a break, warm up, brainstorm with fellow students & watch instructional videos. OVERALL - I highly recommend 160 Driving Academy for obtaining your CDL and New Career. I've learned valuable information and met a diverse group of people who genuinely care! 160 is my 1st Trucking Family & I'll never forget this experience! THANK YOU 160 STAFF!! :-)
