Freehold, NJ - Brookdale College location

I attended 160 Driving academy at the Freehold, NJ - Brookdale College location. First, I’m a female student and felt I was treated fairly and equally to my male counterparts. The instructors taught me everything I needed to know to feel prepared and pass my road test, which I did one and done. Instructor Joe was fun and approachable. He talked about real life experiences and was the perfect person for a laugh when you were having an off or stressful day. Instructor Barry was more direct and to the point. But he made sure we had all the tools, materials, and resources to pass our pre trip/in cab and manuevers for the test. The day of the test Instructor Mark met me at the test site and thoroughly explained what I should expect from the examiner which put me at ease. I spent most of my time there working with Instructor Arthur. To my understanding he manages the office, onboards new students, plans out the day etc. but because they were down an instructor he spent the majority of his time hands on in the yard with the students. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. He was extremely patient, he went through each manuever with me step by step, he made us aware of our mistakes but applauded us when we did well. Even when he was in the office doing office work he was still watching us in the yard and providing us with direction through walkie talkies. He asked for student feedback, addressed concerns, and implemented next day changes. He even arranged for me to test in the truck I requested and felt most comfortable in. He was just an amazing instructor all across the board. I highly recommend this location for anyone looking to attend a truck driving school! Chelsea M.

These people are awesome!!!

Amazing!!! It's a great school with great staff to help you earn your CDL. I will never forget my experience with them and they will leave you feeling the same way. If you're comparing schools right now, please finish up and go with 160 and get started there as soon as possible. You will not regret it, I'm 1000% sure

Real Instructors, Real professionals!

Want to give all the instructors at 160 driving Academy and outstanding review! Your staff is top shelf! You all taught me everything I needed to know about driving a truck and knowing everything I needed to to pass my CDL test! Staff and instructors always helped And corrected me we needed. They always answered all my questions and gave me all the tools outside and inside that truck. I also noticed when I tested that other schools were failing and we were passing. So if you want to go to a good trucking school, go to 160! Thank you 160 you all are great!

Great place to get your CDL LICENSE

Location manager.

Denise Chuma, the manager at this location is a people’s person, so professional and knowledgeable about what she is doing, I’m not a computer expert, in class she took her time to teach me about logging and operating the computer ( thank you) , she’s always happy, in a good mood, I had a great experience in class. At the same time, I don’t want to leave out the examiners in the Cleveland location , Ryan and Gwen, they were so professional and knowledgeable and patience; they explained every step of what I was going to do that they expected from me nice and clear, may God bless Denisse, Ryan and Gwen, I’ll never forget them. ( I want also thank josh and Doc, at the yard, without them I wouldn’t have my CDL).

Great instruction

I recently graduated from 160 Driving Academy and am extremely grateful for the exceptional support I received from Collin, John, and Leroy. Collin, as the yard manager, demonstrated outstanding organizational skills, meticulously tracking our driving hours and skill development. Despite facing moments of discouragement, Collin's unwavering encouragement and ability to push through insecurities were instrumental in my success. His constructive feedback, along with thorough explanations of safety measures, made him an outstanding instructor. I highly recommend him. John dedicated time refining my parallel parking skills on the yard, contributing significantly to my overall proficiency. Although my interactions with Leroy were limited, his calm, encouraging, and friendly demeanor during our trip left a positive impression. Thanks to their guidance, I successfully passed my CDL test on the first attempt, even in a manual truck, despite never having driven a 10-speed before. Grateful for the valuable experience with this dedicated team.
