Good experience for me
Bloomington Ivy Tech 160 Driving
This is by far the best CDL class you can take. Elexis and Mike were absolutely amazing to work with. Lex was great in getting me started in the class as well as helping me when I had any questions. Mike will be your yard instructor and he is the best instructor by far. I had an absolute blast, and if you do exactly what Mike teaches you, it makes the class so easy to pass. He is very thorough and to the point, which helped me pass the final exam in one try. One and done! It was smooth and easy, best experience with the best people. I highly recommend them!
100% recommended
Overwhelming at first but throughout the time there the service and staff were great to get you on track and break it down easier than expected.

Dear 160 Driving Academy Team, I am writing to share that I had the best experience at 160 Driving Academy that I could’ve ever hoped for. The instructors were amazing and patient throughout the entire process. Danny was super knowledgeable and inspirational. Driving with him, you felt guided by a professional; his knowledge was evident with every correction he made. He showed us exactly what to do and how to correct old bad driving habits, providing us with tools that taught us the importance of taking the right steps at the right time. All the students in the truck left feeling inspired and excited for the next lesson. Gaven was a fantastic addition to the team and was instantly appreciated by everyone! He joined the team and immediately showed his worth. He showed us how to downshift and offset like it was a hidden talent we all possessed all along. His patience and focus gave us the drive to perfect our skills every time we got in the truck with him. "Too much clutch" was his famous saying, and he dialed us in until we had the right pressure and confidence to clutch gently like it was second nature. His focus on technical details, ensured we developed the right pressure and confidence. Belay provided vital insight into the professional world beyond school. He emphasized the importance of safety and professionalism, ensuring we understood what it takes to do the job well so that everyone returns home safely to their families The individual attention they provided taught everyone in one-on-one ways how to be professional drivers. It was completely hands-on, and I couldn’t ask for a better team to instruct us. They didn’t just rush our course; they wholeheartedly showed us how to learn the skills we needed and clearly take great pride in teaching. They are very humble and completely professional. We didn’t just learn how to pass a test; we learned life lessons on being professional drivers. T ran the yard with respect and admiration, fine-tuning all the instructors to reach their full potential while also stepping in to show the students exactly how it was done. They made everyone feel safe and confident. The process wasn't rushed, but professionally executed. We left with life skills and the feeling of being part of a family. Thank you for such a positive experience. Best regards, Eddie A

Driving Academy 160 was hands down the best driving experience ever. I had an excellent experience with Driving Academy 160, and I want to personally recognize T. Lopez for her outstanding support and professionalism throughout my training. From day one, Ms. Lopez demonstrated a strong commitment to student success. She was knowledgeable, patient, and always took the time to make sure I fully understood each concept—both in the classroom and behind the wheel. Her teaching style is clear, direct, and effective, which made a huge difference in building my confidence as I progressed through the program. What stood out most was her ability to break down complex driving techniques into simple, practical steps. Whether it was mastering shifting, understanding safety procedures, or preparing for the CDL test, Ms. Lopez made sure I was well-prepared and comfortable every step of the way. Driving Academy 160 provides a solid foundation for anyone serious about getting their CDL, and having an instructor like Ms. Lopez makes the experience even more valuable. I highly recommend both the academy and T. Lopez to anyone looking for professional, high-quality training in the trucking industry.
Julie is the best
Great teaching, great help, great support. Julie is the lead teacher at the Palos hills location and she did everything to help everyone understand and learn at their own pace. She always offered extra help and would explain anything and everything if someone didn’t quite grasp the concept. She gives you the tools and knowledge you need to make sure you not only get your cdl, but are confident in it. The yard instructors guide you through each step and help build your confidence behind the wheel but for me it all started in the classroom understanding the basic to advanced details about driving a CMV and that’s all thanks to Julie at 160 in Palos Hills.

160 was great, Julie made sure she takes care of her students and supports and provides them with everything they need in order to obtain their CDL. She would reach out before test days and make sure you had any and all paperwork needed plus any checks to cover the costs at the dmv. Highly recommend this institute and highly recommend the Palos Hills location.
Earning. Y cdl
The instructors are great. You couldn't ask for any better people to learn from. Alot of knowledge & history they have in the trucking industry. But the equipment needs to be updated. For the past month I've been trying to get my cdl test in & passed & both test dates the trucks have been down. I was supposed to went March 17th and March 31st today. There needs to be another alternative when this happens. Maybe a rental truck on standby or even better, get better equipment. This is frustrating knowing I'm ready to take my cdl test & pass.
