Good Program

They have some really good teachers that will get you ready for the CDL test. They enjoy coffee and make it fun to learn new skills. James is a real pro who will show you how to put those tandems where you want them and has really cool suspenders

Phenomenal Guidance!

I'm a Graduate from 160 Academy and my journey was and still continues to be successful because of the the guidance, techniques and dedication the instructors offer! Specifically Pedro and Mikey Z; they're extremely patient with all students and when mistakes are made they assure students it's okay to make mistakes (non-Dangerous mistakes lol) as long as we learn from it and correct ourselves and very uplifting when progress is noticed. 160 Academy has every intention to make sure you're filled with confidence to ensure success on the road! 2 Thumbs up for the Waukegan location 👍🏼👍🏼

Gets you prepared

160 will provide you with the proper knowledge and skill set to pass your tests and get your CDL. Some of the instructors really go out of their way to help those who show they are willing to learn. Big thanks to Julie, Calvin and Dave.

One and done

Tony and Rasheed are the manual masters. I followed and did everything they taught and I aced the test on my first try. They took away all the uncertainty I had of driving. They showed us the right way to do things and showed us how to correct our mistakes.

The Gang

Thank you 160

My experience at 160 was one of the best ones I’ve had. Instructors were patient and very friendly. Learned a lot in the short time I was there. Big shout out to all the crew members at the yard there. Im glad I chose 160 academy. Honestly, I’m very thankful to all of you.

I made it!!

This was one of the toughest things that I have done but I wouldn’t have made it without all the help from all of the different instructors. They really put their time in with me because I struggled. The ones that helped me the most was Gerald, Russell, Tony and James. I appreciate all of them. Thanks y’all!!!

Absolutely Fantastic

My experience at 160 driving academy was absolutely fantastic! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable on all things tractor trailer. The process was very easy thanks to their guidance. I have my license now thank you them. I can’t say enough nice things about the course and the instructors. Thank you 160 driving academy!

Love love love this place!

Everyone genuinely cares about you and getting you through. You develop personal connections with everyone there. Steve is an amazing yard lead and is perfect for finishing you up. Kelly is excellent to drive with, he pushes you to accomplish things you didn't expect to be able to do. Rocky is excellent with maneuvers, he teaches you how to fix your mistakes and encourages you to make them so you learn. And Alex, the pre-trip guy, does an amazing job with encouraging you and helping you learn the pre-trip. Kim, the branch manager, is incredibly helpful, and encourages you through the entire process. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this place. You won't regret coming here.
