“160 driving academy in Mead WA was an outstanding experience. If anyone is wanting to get their CDL dont even look anywhere else. From the time i talked with Crystal at the classroom branch, to the driving instructor’s, David and Ivy at the yard I having nothing but praise and gratitude for my time there. David and Ivy have outstanding knowledge and maybe more important, patience with not only myself but all the students. I cant thank them enough, getting my CDL was very important to me, they made me feel welcome, knowledgeable, and confident. Thank you so much”

“Thank you so much to Dave and Ivy Cotton!! You guys made this such a fun and easy experience!! Couldnt have done it without you both!!”
Holly M.
“Starting my journey I started looking around the area like everybody else looking at reviews and pass rates. When I called around the one that really helped me with all my questions was Crystal from the Spokane 160 driving academy. Even days after when I still had more questions she wouldn't leave me hanging she would reply with all my questions answered that same day. She got us right on board with getting in, what steps we had to take to get going. Now on our first day of our CDL on the yard training we met Dave and Ivy. One of the most caring, loving and most welcoming people I have met. You can tell that they really care about their job. I know that words can't describe the feeling and support and pushing you to be better. I know others that have come to this school felt the same way. I want to thank them for helping me and even supporting me up until the day of my test. Who ever reads this "YOU WILL NOT REGRET COMING HERE". Thanks .”
