“The best school to come to if you want to get your CDL and pass doing everything the 160 way. Great instructor on the day/night shift . If you want it, you’ll get it done”
Keith
What Students in Pearland Are Saying
“I had a great time working with the instructors especially Aaron who I was with majority of the time, very detailed methods was being taught to put me in the best position to be successful! If you are dedicated to being successful and getting your CDL then they are dedicated to helping you earn it but you have to be willing to listen and break bad habits. You will also meet some cool people that’s on the same mission as you which could possibly be friends built that will continue on in the trucking world.”
Jermaine B.
“I haven't been to any other school, but my time here was great. All the instructors can show you different ways to learn certain things, Especially the manual instructors. They can come off a little harsh, but it engraves the information in you and once you learn, its all smooth sailing. I was a one and done because Aaron picked out the small things I was doing wrong, so thank you to everyone that gave me tips, got on to me when I needed it, and made me feel at home. I'll be back with my fleet to let you see the greatness that has come out of 160.”
Hailey M.
“I had the best experience with the school all the instructor are nice and they show you and explain how to do everything you need to get you prepared for your test”
Norris W.
“My experience at 160 was full of up and downs. The first week was easy sitting in the classroom studying for my permit. The hands on with the truck was rough learning how to straight back took some time. I want to thank TOM and ARRON two of the best instructor at the Pearland location. They were patient and talked in a calm manner, they really helped me a lot. I thank GOD for them.”
