Outstanding Teacher

Bill is a very good teacher and knows his stuff. He always would put in the extra effort when he would see a person struggling with a certain part. He also made it fun just to be there in the class. Bill is just a wonderful person to be around as well. I will always remember him when I am on the road now. Thank you Bill and 160 Driving Academy for the wonderful experience. David Spencer

Great driving school!

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!

My time with 160

I want to share how incredible my experience has been with 160 Driving Academy, especially with the team at Palos Hill. Outstanding team**: Julia, Shannon, Brian, Gerald, Henry, Mac, Will, Armont, Sahara, OG, Meni, Wilson, and the rest of the crew are truly the greatest assets. They consistently work without complaint, even in the yard on the coldest days when it’s snowing, raining, or windy. Student-first mindset**: They go above and beyond to help students reach their goals of obtaining a CDL. They’re supportive, patient, and dedicated to making the process as smooth as possible. Exceptional support at Palos Hill**: Mrs. Julia stands out for her willingness to enroll students, assist financially, and handle documentation. Her commitment is a big reason many students succeed. Team-wide dedication**: I’ve never seen a whole team work so cohesively and positively as the 160 family. Their teamwork and care make a huge difference. Personal milestone**: I proudly obtained my CDL today, and I owe it to this amazing team. I’m grateful for the guidance and encouragement I received. A bittersweet note**: I already miss the yard and the daily interactions with everyone, but I’m leaving with confidence and gratitude. If you’re considering CDL training, my experience says: go with 160 Driving Academy. They earn your trust through hard work, support, and real results. Thank you, 160 Driving Academy — I love you all and will carry these memories forward.

Great School

I recommend 160 to anyone looking to get their CDL. I was able to get in quick and was given all the tools and guidance and preparation needed for the skills and on road testing. The instructors were great and such a big help. I appreciate them so much and thanks to 160 I got my CDL.

Palos Hills and Harvey

All instructors at the yard are helpful and easy to learn from. Julie at Palos Hills is the best and helpful with everything. Easy place to get a one and done

Best instructors

Jeff, Nancy, Chris and Roger are great instructors. They set us up for success. If you put in the work, show up, and follow their instructions, it’s a win win!! One and done for me and many others i’ve seen come through while I was in class. Kudos to 160 Louisville!!!!

Got me in there!!

Beyond informative. From Mr. Brown getting me secured with shifting to Mr. Marcus helping me get settled into my setups for maneuvers and Mr. Terry getting me comfortable herring into position to lock down my Pre-trip inspections and alley docking. Had a good time learning and becoming good enough to be able to get in and out of training without any issues so I thank the team for all their help!
