Going through 160 Driving Academy was the best decision. I learned so much on week one with James he was an excellent teacher especially having to teach over 100 of us online through our virtual class. He was very helpful answering any questions I had about the class throughout it. Like anyone else I’m sure, I was very nervous going to the yard to start practicing but when I got there my instructor Rob made the class feel comfortable and at ease. It was very easy to learn and accomplished everything we needed to get our CDL’s and for that I’m so grateful for 160 Driving Academy. Thank you for one of my biggest accomplishments, can’t wait to start driving and better my career path!
