Awesome job

Agata is awesome at getting you set up and your classes on the computer super well she also is very informative about everything that goes on while in school. Mike, Terry, and Jamell are awesome instructors in the yard they have all have a ton of knowledge and care about the success for all the students in the yard. The staff is all super friendly here

great

my experience with 160 driving academy was great fast and fun.

Best Academy in the Area

Had a fantastic learning experience with the 160 Drive team with Agata as a fantastic branch manager. Handled all my questions that I had in class. Terry, Mike, and Jamell were one of the best yard instructors one could have. They all helped with each process required in obtaining a CDL license. From learning the pre-trip to over the road. Couldn't have asked for a better team.

Knowledgeable staff

I recently graduated from 160 driving academy in Springfield IL. The staff at Springfield IL was not only knowledgeable but professional as well. Heading up the classroom phase of the course was Janie Brown. Janie's positive attitude and constant encouragement helped me get through the classes easily. The driving side is taught by Steve Smith. With Steve's patience and teaching capabilities I was driving a tractor trailer combination in a short period of time. Thank you Steve and Janie for a life changing experience!

satisfied with program

Working with Joe was great he found me a grant to get the school paid for and really helped me, Jamell, Mike and terry helped me gained the knowledge I needed to get my cdl license. The program was worth my time and effort. I would recommend this program to anymore that's interested in getting their cdl license.

Highly Recommend 160 Academy!!!

160 Academy was a phenomenal experience for me. From the classroom to the yard, the instructors were very knowledgeable in every aspect. It took me only three days to pass my written exam at the DMV and then three weeks later the 1st day I was able test for my pre-trip, skill, and road test I past with flying colors. So If you are serious about getting your CDL’S first go and sign up with Romary in the office. Next you’ll be in Dave’s classroom an excellent instructor he’s going to give everything you need to pass the written exam. Here is something that stuck with me remember ( YOU ARE NOT DRIVING A VOLKSWAGEN!!!!). Lori is going to teach you how to pass pre-trip just remember to have camera phone ready on record she is going to run it down. Antonio on driving another excellent instructor. Last but not least you have your lead instructor Greg only thing I can say is (TO COOL!!!!) 160 THE BEST !!!!!!

No Regrets

Dedicated and knowledgeable staff and instructors. Not a moment went by that I felt like I was not getting enough instruction. I was adequately prepared for the learners permit and was more than prepared for the driving/skills tests. 160 Driving Academy should be the ONLY place to consider for obtaining your CDL. Money well spent! Thanks.

160 driving academy

Overall 160 was a good experience. The instructors are very easy to get along with and put in as much as you do. You really get the feel after your first week as they push you to do well. The truck yard is very nice and easy to work with and overall the trucks are good to drive. Just want to say thank you to Mark and Ceasar for putting in the time and if you ask for extra time they will work with you. Thank you Amanda for all the information on 160 and we can't forget Dave. Make sure to keep 'em clean-ish!

Thanks for helping

My review is on Mr. Joe, from the first time that i came in he was very nice and always smiled. When I started I came in with very bad back pains and he made sure that he extended a nice word when I left to make sure that I get better. When I was losing that confidence that I couldn't do this he made sure that he informed me that quitting is not an option which he mentioned when I came in to registered. I failed 3 tests back to back and I asked for a tutor he made sure that I had one within 10 minutes of that question. To sum everything up Mr. Joe is a very nice guy, helpful and understanding to ones needs dealing with this program. Keep him around

Awesome Experience

I'd like to give thanks to Joesph Suedbeck, Jamell,Michael and Terry. These four men where the glue to getting me started on the road. 160 trucking is a no non sense Academy and if you come with an attitude to get it done they will help you. Jamell, Terry, and Michael are run that Academy like a well oiled machine. I'm forever grateful and humbled by this experience. Completion by Yanova Kasiya
