“I recommend 160 Driving Academy to all individuals seeking to get their CDL. I had a great experience at Stockton 160 with the amazing instructors! Thanks to Mike, that taught me to drive, Rick that taught me skills, pre-trip and air brakes and Blair for putting it all together for me and giving me the confidence and knowledge to pass my DMV exam. I’m part of the “One & Done” club! Got my license 2/6/25 thank you 160!”

“My overall experience at 160 Driving Academy was very instructive, helpful, and friendly people. Everything from the introduction with Sam in Stockton, up to yard training with the instructors; Ruben, Rick, Luis, Blair, and Mike, was smooth and organized. In conclusion, I was able to acquire my CDL at 19 y/o and on the first try!”
Henry M.
“Prior to meeting Sam the manager at 160 and getting the opportunity to build a career I worked at a warehouse. Came with no experience and never drove a truck, they gave me all the experience I needed. I was excited to use the big equipment and having to be cautious in the truck. Everyone together was really helpful. Job opportunities were given when I graduated so I can choose what I WANT to do.”

“The instruction was stellar from all the instructors!!! All the instructors brought their own flavor and made great strides to be thorough with each lesson. Blair was encouraging. Mike was humorous. Rick was enthusiastic. As a result, I headed to the DMV and aced the CDL test in one try! My only major criticism is truck maintenance and communication from the fairgrounds. If the instructors could be better supported with their resources and equipment, class would go by much smoother for future students. On several occasions, we were short on trucks due to maintenance issues. This resulted in limited practice time for multiple students. Also, given how few instructors and equipment were available, it put a damper on how the courses ran. They all still made do with what they had somehow, but it wasn't ideal especially when each student is limited to just 15 days. The communication from the fairgrounds was another major issue that resulted last minute changes in location. There was some scrambling in having to wrestle with the events coming in. If there could be a push for better communication, it would make lives easier for both instructors and students. Overall, despite the setbacks, the courses and practice were effective. They 100% work, and the instructors executed their roles amazingly! I had signed up for the manual transmission. I was amazed at the patience and encouragement coming my way. These people WANT you to succeed! Thank you all for your amazing work! This has been an indispensable experience! To any future students ts at 160 Driving Academy: You're in good hands!!! YOU GOT THIS!!!”
