Exceptional training staff

I had a great experience with 160 personnel. The training was everything I needed to obtain my commercial drivers license, from the first day in classroom with the hands on instruction, to the actual yard training (which consisted of learning how to maneuver and drive the semi’s). My very first encounter was with Tre. He was very knowledgeable and made it easy to understand his direction. He taught me pre-trip basics and straight backing on my first day! Darnel was extremely thorough in his approach; and very particular. I love that he provided explanations in his method as it made the lessons easy to retain. Geo was awesome because he specialized in simplicity - which is what I needed after understanding the methodology in Darnell’s instruction. Geo kept it plain and simple and I appreciated that! Darrel and Tre always ensured my grades were updated properly. Derek was absolutely amazing as well. He was my go-to contact person if I needed to inquire about anything outside of class. He was easily accessible. I really appreciated that. Both Derek and Darnel kept everything (and everyone) running smoothly. Tim and Paul were excellent. Although I never had the opportunity to work with them on the yard because I didn’t utilize a manual truck, they were both very personable and knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of trucking and all that it entailed. I learned a lot …and the process was enjoyable. They each added their own spice and made it easy to stay motivated to return to training each day. I’m now a professional driver! Thanks 160!

Chattanooga school

I had a awesome experience at the Chattanooga school and the driving yard! Michelle at the classroom we’re always prepared and was a easy learning experience. Rocky and all the instructors at the yard were very helpful and knowledgeable in preparing me for the driving and pre trip test at the dmv. I’ve walked away from this experience with the confidence knowing I can get the job done and make a good living in this profession. Have suggested this school to several people and will continue to do so! Can’t say enough about my experience!!

Satisfied

Aaron Brown was my instructor, he seemed to truly care about our class. He was great and took the time to break everything down for us as a whole. He stayed on us and made sure we all understood what he was teaching us. I recommend 160 for anyone wanting to get their CDL. Thanks AB and the rest of the 160 staff. See yall at a truck stop somewhere 🤪!

Great Experience

I haven't been to any other school, but my time here was great. All the instructors can show you different ways to learn certain things, Especially the manual instructors. They can come off a little harsh, but it engraves the information in you and once you learn, its all smooth sailing. I was a one and done because Aaron picked out the small things I was doing wrong, so thank you to everyone that gave me tips, got on to me when I needed it, and made me feel at home. I'll be back with my fleet to let you see the greatness that has come out of 160.
