Excellent school for those who want to learn hands-on. Their goal is to get you your CDL.

More than expected

I came to 160 not knowing a single thing about trucking. Galinda was very helpful with getting me set up with the class and was always available for questions. Dave the instructor for the class was very thorough with the information needed to obtain your cdl permit. Once in the yard Denise was very outgoing and was relaxed enough to make it easier to learn but still strict enough to make sure you are doing everything the proper way. If you show the effort to learn you will pass this course. Thank You 160 for teaching me to obtain my cdl and teaching me HOW to DRIVE!!

Awesome Training

160 driving academy has the best training and instuctors hands down. I would recommend to any person whos trying to get a CDL go there. I was the best experience in my life and im glad i had the chance to go there. I learned alot and more then enough safety and all. the springfield MO location is one of the best if you ask me, thanks to Jory, Jeremy and Steve , these are great people thanks>.

Minneapolis location , best

Best school in the town, instructors cares a lot and will do every in their power to help you succeed. I was part time student and graduated in 7 weeks. Passed my exam in first attempt. branch manager prierriss is very friendly and a problem solver, so if you ever have issue he is their to help you out.

Great School

I want to say that I had a great time with 160 Driving Academy. Starting with the first week of online training in the Chicago Heights Location, it was smooth, no complains, the front desk lady was always helpful. After passing my Permit test and moving onto the South Holland Yard for training, every instructor in there knows what they are doing and help you understand what you are learning. A great shoutout to Greg, Shamika, Tim, Antonio, and the rest of the instructors at the South Holland Yard. The reason why I gave it a 4 stars is because of the amount of students that are in that specific yard. This is no fault to the South Holland Yard but more for the people above them. When I came in I asked what the instructor to student ratio was and I was told 1 instructor to 4 students. The first day at the yard it was 1 instructor to 11 students. We would stand and wait for 2 hours just to drive for 10 minutes in the straight back. As of today I did notice that there are new instructors and they will be opening a Lansing Yard to help ease the amount of students that go to the South Holland Yard for training. This is good for the instructors on the South Holland yard because it will mean smaller groups per each instructor. Perhaps 160 Corporate did see that South holland was overloaded of students which is good, but my experience was rated a 4 star due to what I went through in the 1 month that I was there .

This schools is hands down the best!!

i loved it!!!!!!

Thank You 160 Driving Academy

Lori,Tim,and Jim were very good at the instruction, Lori was a pleasure to work with, she has a vast knowledge of the industry, i give her five stars plus, i also give Tim the same, one and done

This schools is hands down the best!!

Walking in the door as young as i am 18, it was very intimidating. At 160 the instructors go above and beyond especially at the crest hill location. At the crest hill yard you are not just a number and that is what i liked best. The instructors build a relationship with their students. Work hard and it will all pay off!!

Great Experience!!

I had a great experience from the moment I walked through the door and getting enrolled by Galinda to getting into the drives seat, I learned a lot from David in the class and from Denise in the yard. Great course and Great staff!!

Work hard

The school and the instructors are really good, if you take it serious they will make sure you get your license.
