What Students in Denver Are Saying

“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.”

“Dear 160 Driving Academy Team, I am writing to share that I had the best experience at 160 Driving Academy that I could’ve ever hoped for. The instructors were amazing and patient throughout the entire process. Danny was super knowledgeable and inspirational. Driving with him, you felt guided by a professional; his knowledge was evident with every correction he made. He showed us exactly what to do and how to correct old bad driving habits, providing us with tools that taught us the importance of taking the right steps at the right time. All the students in the truck left feeling inspired and excited for the next lesson. Gaven was a fantastic addition to the team and was instantly appreciated by everyone! He joined the team and immediately showed his worth. He showed us how to downshift and offset like it was a hidden talent we all possessed all along. His patience and focus gave us the drive to perfect our skills every time we got in the truck with him. "Too much clutch" was his famous saying, and he dialed us in until we had the right pressure and confidence to clutch gently like it was second nature. His focus on technical details, ensured we developed the right pressure and confidence. Belay provided vital insight into the professional world beyond school. He emphasized the importance of safety and professionalism, ensuring we understood what it takes to do the job well so that everyone returns home safely to their families The individual attention they provided taught everyone in one-on-one ways how to be professional drivers. It was completely hands-on, and I couldn’t ask for a better team to instruct us. They didn’t just rush our course; they wholeheartedly showed us how to learn the skills we needed and clearly take great pride in teaching. They are very humble and completely professional. We didn’t just learn how to pass a test; we learned life lessons on being professional drivers. T ran the yard with respect and admiration, fine-tuning all the instructors to reach their full potential while also stepping in to show the students exactly how it was done. They made everyone feel safe and confident. The process wasn't rushed, but professionally executed. We left with life skills and the feeling of being part of a family. Thank you for such a positive experience. Best regards, Eddie A”
