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.

Instructors
I had a wonderful time at 160! In 3 weeks i leaned the proper way to maneuver a 18 wheeler. I had a-lot of one on one training. i wanna give a special thanks to sherrod white , nick cleaves, Doc , brown and alberta. I love the whole staff. They’re professional & knowhow to teach a person who’s never drove a 18 wheeler to be a pro in 3 weeks. highly recommend this school.
I held the belt
James made it a fun environment. He also had good patience with me, When I made a mistake he made it enjoyable rather than myself feeling down. All in all great experience and great instructor.
They are so helpful and kind.
I’m writing this review because the lady Miss Sally helped me to get started, and I am very grateful for the opportunity she was by me every step of the way setting up my appointment and she did an excellent job
Lincroft NJ
I went to the freehold/lincroft NJ training facility , the instructors were great , they make sure you learn the concepts of the training and they work one on one if you are not getting it. I only had a love for driving trucks but never had any kind of experience in a tractor/trailer , I didn't even know what a fifth wheel was until instructor Tre took me in the office and explained the entire mechanism and the coupling process. Instructor Barry was also a genius in teaching the maneuvers of how to straight back and offset parking etc. When it was time to train on the road , all of the trainers made us feel very comfortable and safe while doing it. Thank you JOE, BARRY, TRE, AND The entire training staff at the Lincroft / freehold NJ location
Outstanding instructors
For anyone looking to grab there CDL, I’m recommending 160 academy 10 times out of 10! I first talked with Kassandra who set me up with all the information I needed to get enrolled, any extra information I was concerned with she was quick to respond and very helpful. The driving instructors Nick and Steve are amazing. Throughout the 3 weeks of the driving course they remained calm, cool, and collected. Through their experience and instruction I went from no experience or skill to feeling confident enough to operate a tractor and trailer and breeze through any inspection within a week and a half. So if you’re looking for a quick academy with patient and experience instructors that want you to succeed, 160 all the way! Thank you guys for everything!
