“This school was everything I could ask for. Was kind of worried about the fast pace but thanks to Mrs TC and her tough love I was able to drill that pre-trip in my head and had Mr G and Javier to help with the tips and tricks of moving the trailer where I need it to go. The first week I went from not even being able to do a straight back and thanks to these awesome instructors and people I was able to be 1 and done👌🏾”

“Really enjoyed my experience at 160, I had a small class during the holidays with some bad weather sprinkled in. But Ms. TC, Mr. G, Steve all did a great job at making the most of the time we had. 3 weeks to learn everything you need to pass is a bit intimidating but they worked great together and ensured we had all the training and knowledge needed to pass the test one the first try. I decided to get mine with the manual endorsement and Mrs G couldn't have been anymore patient and caring and supportive through the whole process. I watched him calm down a student that was spiraling. He talked him back to calm and he was able to finish the day's driving out like a pro. Thanks 160!!”
