Student Spotlight: Meet Alfredo, A True 160 Success Story

From the moment Alfredo A. walked into 160 Driving Academy, he knew he’d found the school that would help him achieve his goals.

“From day one I knew this was the school to help me achieve my goals! The rep Victoria R. was instrumental in allowing me to stay focused on each step.”

Alfredo’s journey is a perfect example of what happens when dedication meets great instruction. With Victoria R. guiding him through enrollment and preparation, he never missed a beat—staying focused, confident, and ready for the next challenge.

In the classroom, Dave “Rolling Thunder” Turner brought knowledge and energy that made learning both fun and fast-paced.

“With his help I was able to pass all three tests and get permitted within the first week. He was very personable and had the patience but pace that I loved to learn from.”

That momentum carried right into the training yard, where Zovan J. led with structure and encouragement.

“Zovan was my Yard Head Instructor who, thanks to his no-nonsense but encouraging demeanor, helped me stay on track and catch on very quickly.”

The lessons didn’t stop there—Dominic and Jason helped refine his driving technique, turning challenges into confidence.

“Thanks to their hands-on and direct teachings ‘blueprint,’ I was able to build with safety, competence, and an overall balanced set of skills. Dom gave me the space to learn from my errors, and Jay added the right amount of pressure to push me past my own expectations.”

And when test day came with an unexpected hiccup from the DMV, Lead Instructor Lora Gates stepped in like a pro:

“Lora worked magic for me on test day when the DMV had fumbled. She got everything cleared and had me testing only minutes later.”

That support made all the difference—Alfredo went on to earn his Class A CDL with no manual restriction and full endorsements (T, H, N, X) in remarkable time.

“Thanks to 160 Driving Academy I now have my Class A CDL with no manual restriction and full endorsements. Thank you all for the help you give and the lives you change!”
