For many people, the biggest roadblock to earning a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) isn’t the training itself—it’s the cost. The good news? You don’t always have to pay upfront to start your CDL journey.

At 160 Driving Academy, we believe financial barriers shouldn’t keep motivated students from starting a rewarding career in trucking. That’s why we work with students to explore financing and payment options designed to fit different needs and budgets.
