Graduated Students
Just show up
I had a great experience schooling at 160! The woman in office Becky, was so friendly and always helped me figure out my next step. My yard instructors Collin and John were extremely helpful and determined to get the class to pass their final test. Their different teaching styles work very well together too lol. As long as you just show up, put in an effort, and use your time wisely.. you will succeed.
Heck yea
James made preparation for the exam incredibly smooth and easy. I probably would've have done fine anywhere else, but I wouldn't have gained the same amount of confidence or received the same amount of attention as a student. James was always willing to answer questions, no matter how dumb.
160 training
Everyone was very professional and helped me to get one and done I would recommend this training facility for anyone wanting to get their CDLs
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.

My experience With 160 Driving Academy at Prairie State was great. The learning environment is good, the teaching and curriculum really helped me with obtaining my CDL.

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.
