Trucking Is Life
Had an awesome time. Learned a lot from all instructors they pushed and motivated me to knock it out safely and efficiently. Great school to go to to learn basics and get ur CDLS 10/10 gonna miss those guys.
Excellent Instructors
Paul and Chris are excellent instructors. The Marmet Yard is rough and needs gravel, but the yard instructors do their best to train everyone up in their 3 week training period. The class size depends on how many the local branch sends out. Sometimes up to 12, sometimes down to 4. The company still does a good job training students despite limited resources.
Greatest Experience
My experience was Challenging, useful, and Supportive. The Coaches and Staff were very professional, passionate and helpful. They made me believe in myself when I had doubts. The Coach that I learned the most from was J.C. Without him , I might’ve given up, but he motivated me and gave me confidence that I got it!! And I succeeded and I’m a Great driver making good money. Thanks 160 Driving Academy!!
Ihosvany Marquez is the best
If you are looking to get your CDL, do yourself a favor and ask for Ihosvany Marquez. He is hands-down the best instructor out there! He is incredibly patient, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his students' success. Passing the pre-trip inspection and backing maneuvers can be incredibly stressful, but Ihosvany breaks everything down so it’s easy to understand. Thanks to his excellent coaching, I passed my test with confidence. Thank you, Ihosvany, for helping me start this new career!
Not flexible enough for most student's needs.
They try to force students through the program too fast. Not everyone is in a big hurry to get their CDL. They don't ask you when you want to take the driving exam. They tell you. There are not enough instructors out there to give you adequate training. You either pick it up quickly or else you're out. Don't expect much from these guys. Do your research before paying them. This program is not right for everyone.
My Great Experience
Where can I even start… Julie, Eiman, or Mary? It took me a while because I was doing the weekend program, but from day one Julie and Eiman were there hand in hand with me through the whole journey. This is the place where my future started and where I began a new road toward success. I would not be where I am today without God and His soldiers on the ground — Julie and Eiman. You guys have been nothing but amazing, supportive, and helpful every step of the way. If you truly want to change your life around, this is the place, and these are the people to do it with.
Great Experience
Came into this a little worried I wouldn't grasp it in time, but the instructors at 160 Barstow were extremely patient, helpful, and professional. I got my CDL now and can't wait to start my career on the open road! Thank you Dom, Zovan, and Jay for all you have done for me and continue to do for other students.
Inspired to get CDL
I graduated from 160 Driving Academy today originally I was born in Guyana where I worked as a police officer and worked in asset protection. I came here as an immigrant and did regular work before at 60+ years old. I met Sam at 160 Driving Academy I had an idea about truck driving but was not convinced I had to get the money and did not know what direction to go in. I was inspired by the mentor and the interviewer Sam in the office who got me the loan to pursue my goals and ambitions. I had to work five days a week and two days of school, which was tough, but the sacrifice was worthwhile. I advised anyone aiming to get a CDL to go for it. It is a wide open field and a job that will change your life. It will put your family in a more stable and secure environment. Shut out to 160 thank you to the instructors and everyone who helped with the practical 160 is the GOAT of driving academys
