What Students in Birmingham Are Saying
“My experience was nice the people treated me nice. Great school.”
Mr 2.
“All of my instructors took care of me and guiding me through the class as if I was a son to them. It was plenty of times I had so much going on outside of class and they would not only teach me how to be safe and work a tractor and trailer but times where they were sort of my counselors as well. I’m glad I came to 160 I feel like I was made to go through 160 to get my foot into trucking.”

“Hello world, I'm a recent graduate of the Birmingham location.🥳 First, I would like to thank Ms.Diane,Mr.Isaiah, Mr.Greg, Ms.Whitney, and Fue. They did an amazing job with the students even tho they didn't have the appropriate equipment to train their students. It was an amazing experience and they did the best with what they had to work with. I really want to commend them for their commitment and dedication to the students. Last, but not least I really think the Corporate side of 160 driving academy needs to invest more in their instructors and definitely invest more in their equipment at the Birmingham location. Thank you 160 for the opportunity.”
Redrick P.
“I went to 160 in Birmingham Al and they were awesome...Everyone there knew exactly what they were doing. Mr. Thomas who was over it is a praying man and he is wonderful. Tim and Bruan knew their stuff. I was having a hard time learning to straight back and Braun worked patiently with me to learn and I did. Thanks guys for everything.”
