Graduated Students
Best instructor EVER!!!!
I went to the Houston Location(Oates Rd) and must say everything is a learning process, and will take time. What I can say is, the instructors there two in particular, one being Mr. G, who is the most knowledgeable and most helpful person you would ever get to experience in this field. Not only does he know his stuff he is very passionate about teaching and it shows. He applied the knowledge in ways easiest to comprehend but also easy to execute on the yard, at the DPS and most importantly the world of TRUCKING. Since we can be hard on ourselves at time and become quite frustrating in the process, patience was needed and he was there thru the whole process in FULL support mode. Then there was Mr. Tim, my time spent with Mr. Tim was very short, but nevertheless much was learned from this gentleman here, his experience in the field made it easy to quickly fix any common mistakes keeping a few things in mind. He helped me master my ultimate fear…. Right turns and now I am a truck driver. Bring a woman coming into this field, 160 Driving Academy but most importantly my instructors gave me all the confidence to dominate this field and I will make them proud. If you want to drive trucks go to 160 Academy but if you want to master driving trucks you go to 160 Academy of Houston and get the best hand down training from Mr. G and Mr. Tim. Thanks for making this experience pleasant for me. And thanks 160 Academy from the class to the yard.
Walk in with an open mind
Before attending class, I had the mindset that learning could not be fun or practical based on my previous experiences with grade school. However, my educator, Lori, made the experience interesting through class discussions of the "why" and "how" with regards to general knowledge, air brakes, and combination brakes. I left the classroom with a strong understanding of the material. Thanks Lori!
Great school
My experience here at 160 is great. The instructors are great and are good at what they do. If you listen and apply what they tell you , success is upon you! Great night shift!
Fantastic instructor and office manager
James and Terry were fantastic and bent over backwards to give me a great learning experience. I got my cdl in one try!
Great School!!!
I highly recommend 160 driving Academy. I passed my exam on the first try. The instructors are wonderful!!! Scott!!!! Great guy!!! He is a very patient instructor and very humble!! No matter how much you screw up, he wouldn't get mad at you, but will rather continue to work with you until you get it. No matter how much of a slow learner you are, he got you!!! He's awesome and has a soft heart!! Kelvin!!!!! He's wonderful!! He's a father figure to everyone!! He's loved by all the students. When he's absent for a day, everyone misses him. He's friendly, caring and very helpful and helps you feel relaxed while out on the road. He takes his time to train you very well. If you have a problem with Kelvin, then you are something else!!! He's a great old man. You will love him. Rick!!! Great guy but very straight!! He's very tough and at the same time very friendly and wants the best for you. I have heard students complain about him being tough, but from what I understand, his goal is to make you as strong as possible. He wants you to easily pass your CDL exam and become one of the best truck drivers out there. He emphasizes on safety. He's a great supervisor!!! Emma is a great manager!!! She helps you through the process and communicates with you on a regular basis to keep you updated every step of the way during your training. She does her best to have you scheduled for your CDL exam as quickly as she can. She's on top of things and can be counted upon. This great team helped me with my new career in the trucking industry. I had a great experience with them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone to them. They are awesome!!!!

James Rocks
James is a fantastic trainer he takes his time with the students to make sure they are 100% and will get their class A.
Instructor Andre
My experience in the first week of 160 could not have gone better. My instructor was Andre. He was excellent. Kind, knowledgeable, and very energetic. He not only made the class fun, but he also made everyone feel special. He treated us as individuals instead of just a class of random faces on a screen. I could not have asked for a better instructor. He never made anyone feel dumb for asking questions, and he was very patient. Thank you so much for everything! I can’t wait to start yard training!
