Graduated Students
Family is the place to learn
I want to say Thank you to Tee, Tony, Mike, Scott and Robert. Every single one of you helped me successfully complete the program and taught me what I needed. Meeting the other peers and uniting as a family to get through this was a blessing itself. There were days that I doubted if I made the right decision. When those moments happened one of you would step in and reassure me that I did. Taking the time aside to guide me and answer my questions was what I needed. It felt like a family. It made it so much more easier to make me want to keep coming back. We had good days and we had bad days. I just want to make things clear to Mike and Robert, I really wasn’t being stubborn. I just have a unique way of learning and processing. I purposely was not listening to what y’all had to say. When I was in High School I was told this is why I would never be able to be a truck driver. Today at the age of 48 with my Family at 160 Academy in Commerce City we proved, that even someone like me can do it! It really does take hard work, commitment and resilience to make it happen. It also takes the wisdom, smiles and knowledge y’all provide. We all really do learn and process things differently. Thanks for not giving up on me and I’m grateful I didn’t give up! Faith, prayers and family have made me remain a believer! Tee and Tony thank you for being my right and left hands literally when I needed you! I have been wanting to attend 160 Academy for years and I am happy that after researching other schools, I made the right decision by choosing this one! P.S. Thanks for toughening up my skin!
Great experience.
The trainers were very patient and very helpful with learning the steps for skills and I recommend coming into the program dedicated and ready to listen and fix your mistakes as you go. The instructors will be there for you but you also have to be dedicated and willing to improve on your own, they can only let you know how to improve, you gotta do your part and try to fix your mistakes when they arrive, but I recommend 160 driving academy, got my CDL and very thankful for Phil and the instructors for sharing their knowledge with me and helping me pass.

160 driving academy Lubbock
I would be lying if I said it was easy givin that I’ve never driven a semi truck before I started this program but the classes that you take set you up perfectly for your test if you apply yourself .it was allot to take in at first but like I said if you just apply yourself and you really want it then you will get your cdl in due time. With that being said once you make it to the yard and start learning more about the functions of your vehicle then they have a great instructor Eddie to teach you everything you will need to know in order to pass your test at the dmv. In my opinion Eddie is the best person they could have chosen to teach their students the ends and outs of truck driving and he might be sturn at times but it’s because he takes pride in his work and he’s passionate about what he does .thank you Eddie for everything you have taught me and I intend to make you proud in the future.
Thorough and courteous
I wanted to take the time out to thank Nicole the branch manager at Drive 160 Craig, the instructor and Dave the other instructor were very thorough and telling us what we need to know answer any question through their experience of driving themselves. Nicole, I want to thank you for being patient and taking the time to email me and call me back when I need a question answered to proceed with the program you are amazing.
Fantastic place to learn!
Everyone is great at the Commerce city yard. T is a joy to be around and is an amazing instructor. Mike is the lead and is great at the technical aspects and coaching to prepare for the final exam. Tony, Dre, and Earl do a wonderful job of explaining and coaching that makes sense and is practical. Scott is a huge source of support and is always willing to listen and give instruction. With their guidance I was able to pass the final exam in the first shot obtaining a CDL A with no restrictions. Thank you to everyone over there. I couldn't be more grateful. 5 star experience!
Why not 160 Driving Academy, they are the best!!
160 Driving Academy is the best place to not only learn to be the best truck driver. It's also a place to meet really great people, we'll start with Chris. Chris has a great drive to want to go out and beyond to help us, in other words he doesn't mind getting down to the nitty gritty. Dust and all he's outside giving us great ways to remember that pre trip. Clarence is a firm believer that safety is important when backing those trucks, so he's going to keep reminding you to look at your surroundings and check those mirrors. He's a great guy, you should catch up with him while you're there. You'll like his personality. Can't forget about James, he gives you chances to try to do your 90°, off set , and straight back on your own. And that was the thing that helped me also, but never the less as soon as I made a mistake. He corrected me A.S.A.P. so I could make the adjustments needed to accomplish the task at hand. John is really good at getting you right with your in cab inspection and having a great view of what you have to remember as far as what's needed for D.M.V. and he has a great attitude about everything that he teaches. Alexander gets you ready for the road going out with him, gets you ready for smooth deliveries with your stops and go's. I know I probably scared him a few times, but he taught me how to bring it to the smooth deliveries of stop and go. Dale believes that you need to have have everything together, before he lets you get on that road. You're gonna want to take everything that everybody else has taught you, and give it to Dale just the way all of these guys taught you from day one. Cause they are all right when it comes to safety, they all believe in that. My favorite from the start ,it wouldn't be right if I didn't mention the Lovely face of the school. Ms. Angela she'll be the first one that you'll meet she gets you rolling right away. A very great way to start my adventure towards my career. I thank you 160 driving academy for being great. At 43 years old, now I'm a successful business owner. And I owe it all to the Greensboro N.C. 160 Driving Academy Team ! Thanks Guys, I Love You All And Be Blessed. GO TEAM 160 !!!!! Sincerely, Donald.
