160 driving academy review
If you're looking to obtain your CDLs and pursue a career as a truck driver, I highly recommend the 160 Driving Academy. We had the pleasure of working with Martha, who was an absolute star. Despite running into a few hiccups that had nothing to do with 160 academy, Martha was always there to help us out. Once we sorted out the paperwork, my father was able to complete the class with ease thanks to the exceptional and highly skilled staff at the facility. The thorough training ensured that my father was well-prepared to pass the test and obtain his CDLs. The instructors, including Archy, Mr. Chino, Mr. Joe, Mr. Huego (hopefully spelled correctly) and Keith, were all excellent and helpful. We are incredibly grateful for their support and highly recommend the 160 Driving Academy to anyone looking to pursue a career in truck driving. Don't waste any more time searching for a better option - the 160 Driving Academy is the way to go.

Best Truck Driving School
Mike, Roger and Tony were some of the best people I have ever met. They have years of knowledge and know just how to help anyone over come any obstacles they may face while trying to obtain your CDL’s. Mike was especially helpful during my time there. I would recommend this driving school to anyone who wants to obtain their CDL’s and create a better future for themselves and their family.
Great place to get your start
I loved every thing about this class . Kathy made me feel cared for from the beginning when I called to get started. The classroom week was very informative and made it easy to get my permit. I spent my first week in the Freeport yard with Anthony. Anthony was a great teacher, he was strict but never yelled or criticized me or anyone else. He told us what we did right and what we needed help with without discouraging us. I spent the rest of my drive training in the Rockford yard because I needed to switch from manual to Automatic (bad knees). Every instructor had their own way of teaching so if you didn’t get it with one, another teacher would make it click, Jay was awesome at verbally teaching skills and making you feel like a friend at the same time. Boni was tough but great at getting me to drive my trailer instead of my truck. Zack was great at teaching in cab testing ( I FAILED AT LEAST 4 times my first try with him). He made it well known how important it was. Rob gave great tips on tire placement when turning. Charles and Gene were both strict and no nonsense instructors and they made sure we knew what had to be done to succeed. I would do it all over again ! I appreciate them all!
Outstanding Staff
Outstanding staff, instructors and support staff were very helpful! Whenever I had an issue, I could go to their staff and they would always have a solution for my problem. I knew nothing about a semi truck and now I’m getting job offers. 5 Star Instructors! Plus I noticed when I tested at the DMV we were the only school in this area that consistently passed on our first attempt. Actions speak louder than words! Go 160! Let’s Go! What is today?
Great Experience
Everything was great. From first meeting Chris and him helping with me to get financial aid that was a grant I don't even have pay back. They answered all my questions and kept up with me the entire process. When I started on the yard all the instructors Scott, Abby, and Casey were so helpful and interested in teaching you everything you need to know to pass your CDL test. If you take this course you'll seriously you'll definitely be ready to test. Anyways overall great experience plus added bonus they want you to keep in touch so they can be sure of your success after the school. Can't go wrong at the school in Tulsa that's for sure.
Lawrenceburg, IN 160 SCHOOL.
I just completed my 4 week course with 160 in Lawrenceburg Indiana. It is a new location but the instructors are top notch. They give instructions clearly and are willing to listen to feedback from the students to improve the program. Skills Course setup was amazing and accurate when compared to test site course. They had one automatic and one manual and with few students we had a lot of time and hands on practice in the trucks. Overall I would give the site a 9/10.
Got my CDL a!!!
Got my cdla!!! Thanks to all my instructors staff and to Sara. Thank you for all the help, support and knowledge
