From beging to end. My experience at 160 driving academy was smooth and something compared to a walk in the park. Once I received my permit and made my way to the yard I knew just like

Agata at oak creek was my branch manager. She was very helpful and accommodating. She always picked up her phone and try to help me anyway she could.

Best Trucking School for Job Seekers pivoting into New Career

I just completed the 160 Driving Academy program and passed my driving test today. My previous career was working in the technology sector as a Talent Acquisition Leader for 18 years, but was displaced during the Covid pandemic. I decided to make a career pivot into the growing market in the trucking industry and after researching schools, I chose 160 Academy. From the start, Amanda Corolla was able to quickly process me into the next open class and I found that the Testing preparation was thorough and the driving instruction was excellent. The instructors are all experienced Truck drivers who now teach. The Head Instructor, Ceasar, is a superb teacher and leader for the team. I personally had a slow start with shifting, but all the instructors (Mark, Pedro) took the time to get me squared away. They also fostered a supportive environment for women who were in the program, which made it easier for everyone who has an interest to join. All the instructors were focused on safety and doing things the "right way." I am already getting call backs from new applications on indeed , but will be getting together with Amanda to work with their placement program. If you are looking at a driving school, I strongly recommend 160 Driving Academy.

Great School. The Best Staff.

I came to 160 to learn a new skill and start a new career during Covid. Before the Covid shut downs I was working in entertainment marketing, and my industry completely froze with no sign of of anything returning to normal. 160 presented me a path forward with a 4 week long intensive program to develop driving skills that would prepare me for the trucking industry job market. Tim and Rau were my instructors, and they were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help me understand anything I was struggling with. I went from no experience operating a manual transmission vehicle to being able to perform essential parking maneuvers, drive a semi like a competent driver, and passed my dmv test with 4 weeks of training. MaryAnn is also the hero of the office. She makes sure you get your dmv appointments in a timely manner, and keeps you updated on any important information you need to know. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to learn a new skill and start a new career.

Top Notch

I had an amazing experience as I obtained my Class A CDL. It started with Bernie working hard to get me into the school and encouraging me to get my permit prior to class. Then, the yard time was phenomenal as they taught me each step to passing my exam. Steve, Cody, Paul, Dave, Kirk, Sophia and Reagan were top level instructors who truly cared and gave me the knowledge and confidence to use their recipe for success. You do have to put in the effort and homework to study the Pre-Trip, but if you are willing to work at it then they will see that and give you the tools to succeed. Then, afterwards you will have Bernie and Frank stepping up for you and assist you to find a good place to start your career. I would give them 160 stars! Great people and amazing experience. Thank you!
