Great Experience to Jump Start a New Career

The entire staff at the Connersville location made my experience amazing! Was provided with everything i needed to succeed! Eric was very helpful setting the standard and commitment that was needed to pass and exceed in the class! I would highly recommend 160 Driving Academy and i will always cherish the days i spent in class! I was actually sad when it was all over!

Great Experience

The 160 Driving Academy, in Bensenville Il. was a great experience! It was also a lot of hard work, which is necessary when trying to start a new career. The instructors are very knowledgeable. They take pride in the success rate of their graduates and their results have been outstanding. Their focus is on teaching the skills and materials needed to pass the State tests, obtain your CDL and be a safe driver. They're willing to give extra time and attention, if you're willing to put in the effort. Working with some of them wasn't always easy, but I'll choose to believe it's because they wanted me to succeed. After all, their job is to instruct and teach, not be my friend. I highly recommend the Bensenville branch. Special thanks to Maggie and Marta (office staff), who were very helpful and supportive while guiding me through this process.

A real review

I recommend 160 Driving Academy of Las Vegas. I am going to try and leave a real review rather than just praise or criticism. First the negatives. They sent me to a horrible place to get my drug test. They have said they are now using a different servicer. The first week of videos in a room with uncomfortable folding chairs and the laptops are old and tiny. The trucks at the school are a bit beat up and the yard you are trained in is small and is barely adequate. At times there were too many students so you didn't get enough hands on time with the trucks. Sometimes different information is given by different instructors in regards to how you are tested and it can be a bit of a chore to find out the real information. You need to be a bit proactive at this school to get the instruction you need. With these negatives why do I recommend this school? The friendly office staff worked with me to accept a partial cash/credit payment which was not easy for them. I'll also mention that at the time I signed up 160 was significantly cheaper than the other options I researched. I am not a natural wheelman and maneuvering/driving/shifting the truck did not come easily for me. The instructors at the yard stuck with me with positive encouragement and excellent instruction to get my CDL in my first try. These guys are real truck drivers and have a wealth of knowledge to share. No way I get my CDL without the instructors at the yard going the extra mile to help me. I'd single out names but I literally did not have a negative opinion of any instructor there so there are too many to name. This, in my opinion, makes the negatives seem like nothing because the goal is, after all, to get that CDL. 160 Driving Academy will get that done for you!

Great instructors!

Great experience! The instructors are awesome and make learning how to drive a big rig easy!

Excellent Service and Instructors

First of all before I write anything about 160 Driving Academy, I will give them 5 star. I am so much thankful to 160 Driving Academy to help me to get my CDL. I really like the instructor’s as well, They are so much experienced and helpful to get your CDL by any means. If the students just follow the instructions and apply the techniques given by instructor that would be sufficient to get your CDL. So, I really encouraged if anyone looking for getting their CDL - 160 Driving Academy is the place to go.

Great atmosphere and instructors!

160 Driving Academy was a place where you learned and was given the opportunity to practice for the CDL exam, good place to learn to drive a semi-tractor trailer.
