“Just amazing the experience with this group of people in this organization is just freaking amazing I have now created a better life for me and my family because of the influence that Mr Samuel and his team has given me honestly if you fail this course then you wasn’t actually paying attention to these gentlemen because they mean nothing but the best they make it personal for you becoming a great truck driver”

“I had an outstanding experience at 160. From the moment I enrolled, the entire team was supportive, professional, and genuinely invested in my success. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and patient, offering hands-on training that really prepares you for life on the road. The curriculum was thorough, covering everything from safety procedures to advanced driving techniques. What sets this school apart is their dedication to student success. The behind-the-wheel training was especially valuable, giving me the confidence I needed to pass my CDL exam. I highly recommend 160 to anyone looking to start a career in trucking. It's clear that they are invested in their students, and I am beyond grateful for the experience and knowledge I gained here!”

“From the very beginning, signing up with Sam to the yard dealing with nick and bob. Annett was also great. Very professional and respectful people. Love their jobs and are willing to help you however you need it. Sam and Annett are very nice people and will help you out whenever you ask, They are on it with quick responses. On the yard, very calm and respectful. Nick and Bob are amazing teachers that have patience. They are willing to help, even when it’s outside of school they are very understanding ( in my case I injured my knee) professional, respectful and love teaching others is what your getting at 160 yard in Sacramento and 160 all together. I own my own hauling business and I recommend this school to anyone that wants to learn.”
