What Students in Denver Are Saying

“160 driving academy is awesome! Thank you so much to all of the instructors there- T is the best teacher on the road! Thank you Tony and Mike! I was really nervous for my test and Victoria made me feel comfortable and calm! Thank you so much!!”

Ashley M.

“Driving Academy 160 was hands down the best driving experience ever. I had an excellent experience with Driving Academy 160, and I want to personally recognize T. Lopez for her outstanding support and professionalism throughout my training. From day one, Ms. Lopez demonstrated a strong commitment to student success. She was knowledgeable, patient, and always took the time to make sure I fully understood each concept—both in the classroom and behind the wheel. Her teaching style is clear, direct, and effective, which made a huge difference in building my confidence as I progressed through the program. What stood out most was her ability to break down complex driving techniques into simple, practical steps. Whether it was mastering shifting, understanding safety procedures, or preparing for the CDL test, Ms. Lopez made sure I was well-prepared and comfortable every step of the way. Driving Academy 160 provides a solid foundation for anyone serious about getting their CDL, and having an instructor like Ms. Lopez makes the experience even more valuable. I highly recommend both the academy and T. Lopez to anyone looking for professional, high-quality training in the trucking industry.”

“This is my second go around for my CDL the first time was in 2005. However the team at 160 Driving Academy in Commerce City/Denver is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!!..Although this was a refresher course for me per se' some of the student there had never once been inside of a big truck. The instructors were extremely patient and knowledgeable and most of all PROFESSIONAL. I would certainly recommend 160 Driving Academy Commerce city/Denver Colorado to anyone interested in obtaining a CDL..GREAT JOB guys and I wish you all well.”
