Graduated Students
1ST TRY CDL A GRADUATE
My experience with the Memphis crew of 160 ACADEMY was eye opening and amazing for myself and my husband who graduated during the summer months of 2023. We are proud to say we attended this school! Everyday was a excellent learning experience, especially the PRETRIP FOR YOUR LIFE (game) sessions... Keep up the Great work (staff)and keep applying pressure to all the students!!
Golden ticket
The experience I had at 160 has been exceptional. Chris was my instructor and he did a great job giving me advice and tips to achieve my skills. Chris is patient and has great communication skills. He doesn’t just focus on one student but all his students. You just have to come ready to learn and achieve your goals each day. Jeff has been good to me as well he is always giving advice and tips to help with knowing how the tractor and trailer work with each other. I would say that Chris and Jeff are the best instructors there and they want you to win. They answer all your questions, are patient, great with communication, and know what they’re talking about. They both have at least 18 years of trucking experience. They taught me so well I didn’t have to complete all the hours and finished a week and half early when Chris submitted me. I took my CDL test one time and passed. I’m a one and done and have a GOLDEN TICKET. Ms. Nita in the front office got me a job the same day I passed my test and I got an interview the next day. I’m very thankful for the experience.

Great Review
Hello my name is Miguel and when I started looking into getting my CDL I came across these people and I’m sure glad I found them everyone that the Chattanooga office are really great people and at the 160 training center so called there yard every CDL instructor there was really good at explaining everything and making things clear I could ask the same questions 10 times and never got a bad response or anything always willing to explain things over as many times as I needed a big thanks to Bill , Richard, John, Emory,and Wilson a bunch of great guys thanks for everything job well done
240 course
From the start I had a very welcoming process. Marta made everything easy and simple and the initial registration was very quick. Once I made it to the yard, the instructors were very competent on the material that we had to retain. Archie and Petia were the first stop, they set the tone for what would be expected from us. I was a little overwhelmed with all the material we had to know and the different notes we were handed, but the constant drilling and reciting made it all second nature. Keith and Chino gave me the recipe to success. They both made the skills sections super easy. I enjoyed that part the most. Lastly Joel brought everything together he knows how to be serious and bring a lil laughter to the moment as well. Great team, the only thing I would hope that gets better is timing on when new student join the program. At times there was too many students and not enough trucks.
Instructor Andre Gambrell
Great instructor and great giver of the information. He goes above and beyond to help out and we enjoyed his teaching style as well as his grown human style. Very entertaining instructor.
Best school
Thank you to Mr.Andre and Ms.Lori for being the best instructors to teach me how to become a professional driver. Not only did they fill my head with the most cdl information but they both were very patient and full of knowledge. Thank you both again
Great experience
Rodger was a top notch teacher from start to finish. For those in the know he is the shifting guru. I can’t thank everyone enough for an amazing experience. Will definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to get their CDL.
