160 Driving Academy turned my dream career into a reality. These wonderful people listed below become more than instructors, they become family. If you’re looking for a quick career change, give 160 a chance to make your life better in every way possible! Not only do they have a pretty quick course, the training that’s provided is astounding and efficient. Listed below is everyone who worked with me first hand and helped me become a certified commercial driver, each person was special to me in their own way so I decided to create a review for each individual. Jaima— was my Branch Manager, and upon the first time meeting with Jaima to discuss what 160 could do for me and my payment options to get me into the program. They have many ways to afford this new lifestyle and she worked with me diligently on getting what I needed in order for me to start the program. Jaima kept in contact with me from the time I had my initial meeting, throughout my course, and on all my testing days.. She assured me through the entire program that if there was anything I needed to let her know! Mike— was 1 of 3 of my instructors once I made it to the yard. To me, Mike seemed more like a father figure.. He teaches many life lessons and gives helpful advice along with the program (my perception.) Mikes teaching skills are out of this world! He has things narrowed down to a T, and runs a very tight ship! For those like myself who carry God with them in everything they do, Mike is a great mentor for this program simply because of who he is.. His character is one thing that isn’t shy to show throughout his many lessons and he along with the other instructors at 160 have a way of including fun in teaching! WHO DOESN’T LIKE HAVING FUN WHILE LEARNING?! 1. Last thing I’d like to highlight about Mike in particular is that he’s a person who’d give you the clothes off his back.. If he can help you in anyway, he always obliges to do so! On my testing day, I had caught a flat tire in my person vehicle while it was pouring down raining.. I called Mike and the crew at the yard freaking out, and Mike came out personally to help change my flat tire, and even prayed with me upon asking once we were finished.. Mike is one person who I can say I’ll remember for the rest of my life, based off these 4 weeks that I spent with him.. Truly made an impact on me and my trucking career! Roger— was second hand to Mike and all the good things I had to say about Mike, I could say about Roger. Roger stood out to me because he had no shame in including fun in his lesson.. When it was time to be serious Roger had no problem letting you know, but also had moments where you’d find yourself laughing while learning something that would carry on with you for the rest of your trucking career. Roger always made sure that you were on your P’s and Q’s, and also made sure you could recite the entire curriculum back to him at the drop of the dime, whenever you were asked.. Respect, Love, and Peace.
