Best in the west

I graduated today from school and I can’t remember a better feeling than I have right now. My thoughts in the beginning was all over the place because I was so confused. But Bensenville has the best instructors. I had a very hard situation arise that had me out of school for almost 3 weeks. Susie the (BM) was awesome ! She reached out to me on a regular along with Stacey to make sure I was ok. They hugged and embraced me and helped me cope with everything going on in my personal life. When I returned Joe said u going all the way next week. I couldn’t believe it I didn’t think I was ready and was terrified. Well today is next week he worked the heck out of me but we did it. His firmness is what got me my CDL. He pushed me and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself and for that I’m forever grateful

Best in Class

I graduated from 160 in June of 2019, what an awesome experience. Great Instructors all around, but I was really able to connect to the Lead Instructor Mr. Scott M. He didn’t just teach me how to operate the vehicle... he helped me understand how to make it do what I wanted. I made great relationships and still keep in contact with my 160 driving school team. Im so great full for the preparation this school had given me for trucking life. Thanks Debbie, James, Scott, and Ron!!!!!

Review for 160 Columbus Site

The Columbus, OH staff are wonderful people. Staring with Bernie and Donna in office and yard guys Steve,Phill,Jayson,Cody,Terry,Paul and Mike are helpful and truth be told very genuine. They care and sweat with you to succeed. That is all one ask for, to have professional willing to help you anyway possibel. So go see them, it will make you smile and will make them smile too!

Great

I had a great experience with 160 Driving School. The instructors Shelly, James and Jay were all great to work with. They had patience and time to work with you until you understood what you had to do. I would recommend. You as a person also have to be willing to put the effort and time in to get what you want out.

Trainer for a graduate

I work for a company who was going to hire a graduate of your truck driving school. After going thru orientation i was assigned to train Jeremy how to use the quallcoms and make sure he was a safe and a adequate driver. After 5 days of training he still cant shift gears, his backing into a dock is as bad as ive ever seen. I dont know if it is just him or the school just didnt care. He is totally unsafe and dont understand how he passed the road test. I dont understand how a school can put a driver out on the road with his skills, if he gets a job driving and kills someone, i blame the school for passing him...

One and Done!!!!!

Bernie, Ms Donna, Steve, Phil, Jason, Terry, Paul, Cody, Eric and last but not least, Chris!!!! Those names alone speak volume!!!!! From the classroom, to the yard, everyone was a pleasure to learn from...I knew nothing about trucks, and was able to pass on my first attempt....they have a great program and I want to give credit where it’s due! Thank you everybody at 160 Driving Academy Columbus!!!! ONE AND DONE!!!!!!

Previous Student

I had a great time in the yard with the other students and instructors. My instructors were vary experienced and broke down each step. I would recommend any one who is thinking of starting a career in Truck Driving to start here.

St.Louis

I passed!! Thats a great thing to be able to say after all the hard work you will put in, and yes like myself I know anyone can pass, Why? Dave, CB, Deb, Theresa, of St.Louis 160 Driving Academy are amazing teachers and have put in the time and effort to show me, you can do anything you put your mind to. Most importantly "Dont give up". They never gave up and allowed me to show my hard work ethic which ended up with a Class A CDL. Times are hard and they invested their time in me, and now I am able to provide a better life for myself and my family. I want to sincerely thankyou all, Deb thankyou for being there and ensuring im on the right path, CB thankyou for all the time with the off-set and parallel and pre-trip, and thankyou Theresa for showing me the 90 can be done in 1 shot, and most importantly Thankyou Dave for being like a tough dad, im so thankful that you never gave up on me and had i not listened to you, I know I wouldnt be on the right side of success. So thankyou. 160 Driving Academy and team St.ouis you gave me a career and a vision again. I have my life back thanks to you! I have spent half my life as a restaurant manager and decided to switch careers, and was scared and nervous, but it was all worth it thanks to you! Time to go make that money!!!
