160 THE BEST
Hi my experience at 160Driving Academy was off the chains all the instructor were very attentive and paid attention to the finer points of teaching and they were all different mostly in their approach to me personally Joe was easygoing and to the point but if you broke a rule like driving across the yard he’s let you know, Meanwhile Mark was strait to the point no nonsense kinda guy. Jordan is easygoing but to the point. Tony’s like an encouraging big brother. Jimmy takes care of the whole situation he’s the real quiet one that will put you on the right track if you fall off. And so with that kinda field of professional instructors how can a student fail. There’s no failure here, let talk about Tiname Bond who runs the office she’s the one who actually makes sure the recruitment easy with all the right help and info need for a new studen like me to feel very comfortable in making my decision to sign up160 Drivng academy and I’m thankful for her assistance overall I rate 160 ACADEMY at the very Top. Thank you 160 D A yours truely Gary Pine
Review
160 driving academy was a great choice the trainers are great there will push to to get your cdl I had a excellent time there
Got It!
I want to say thanks to Sara, officer manager, for the school. She gave lots of info and always seemed 100% invested in my dream of getting my CDL. Although I wish they had new classes bi-weekly to give each class ample opportunity to do maneuvers as well as driving the instructors gave their all. Shout out to Ms T and Mr Hughes! I enjoyed working with Dennis and John as well but Mr Hughes will always make me think of safety first and I hope I never forget his training, his wisdom and his support when we were out with him. I got that dang thing and they were the reason why. Thanks 160!
160 Driving A.
My time with 160 was nothing short of a great experience. Warren, Jack and Preston where excellent teachers with a lot of patience. Wouldn't change a thing about my experience there!
Got my CDL!!!
The program made it very easy to remember the steps needed to take in order to get my cdl. I was thinking about going back to automatic, thinking manual was too difficult. That was until Bryan the manual instructor said give me two days and youll be more confident with shifting gears. a week after that conversation i passed my test and got my CDL! THANKS 160!!!
Awesome staff and instructors
Cds staff were very attentive to my individual needs. Very flexible schedule, and an amazing environment to learn in. I recommend this school for anyone looking to earn a cdl.
Great team of leadership
I’ve had a CDL for 10 years in the past, my company sent me to 160 to get my license again and I learned things about the trucking industry and being a safer driver out in the road that I didn’t know about. The trainers there are very experienced and are there to help you succeed in your goal of getting you CDL. Their experience has changed the way I look at the commercial driver experience. Go check them out!!
Awesome instructors
The instructors at the Saint Cloud mn location are amazing there patient and knowledgeable in what they teach. The downside for me was there isn’t enough time to learn to drive a manual truck. And the branch manager joe is very tough to get ahold of and doesn’t communicate with you if a date changes like the start date or exam.
I’ve gained the skills to pay the bills!
Initially, I was apprehensive about starting CDL training during the middle of a pandemic but 160 Driving Academy quickly put me ease when I saw all of the precautions that were taken including daily temperature checks, mandatory masks and wiping down the vehicles after each driver. When it came to the yard instructions, I worked primarily with Roxana and Lance. Both gave me great insight on how to operate a commercial motor vehicle and essential backing techniques, so much so that I was offered a position with a company as an Intermodal driver (lots of backing). My only critique or suggestions is to dump the parallel parking and teach a 45 or 90 degree backing. All in all it was a GREAT experience and I would definitely recommend anyone to 160 Driving Academy.
Fresno 160
The Fresno 160 guys Raul, Miguel, and Tim are all really good guys and very very helpful. You can ask them anything about the industry and they will let you know. More importantly they do everything they can to help you out and make sure you absolutely get all your skills and pre-trip down to get your license at the DMV. They really do everything in their power to make sure you get your license and are successful!
