Graduated Students
Blessed with the best
I highly recommend this company. Starting a career change can feel overwhelming, but these three men in the Billings location made the entire process so much easier for me. When I didn’t have the funds to get started, Ed immediately stepped in with resources and information I didn’t even know my local Job Service offered. His support alone removed a huge barrier. From day one, David (instructor) showed us that he was committed to making sure we were truly prepared. On the first day of class, he asked a student to start with a full pre-trip inspection, and in that moment I knew he cared about readiness and real-world expectations. David took extra steps to prepare us—he went above and beyond when it came to teaching skills, shifting, and getting us ready for the road test. His patience and dedication made learning to drive a truck feel manageable and even exciting. Randy (instructor) challenged us in the best way possible. You never knew when he would have you hop into the truck and perform the entire pre-trip from start to finish. Both he and David took the time to teach us everything we needed to know: working on skills, practicing shifting, understanding the truck, and preparing for the road test. Their consistent push to stay ready kept us sharp and confident. Because of them, I felt completely ready. They believed in me, and I trusted that if they said I was doing well, it was true—because they never hesitated to tell you honestly when something needed work. Their confidence, high standards, and genuine support made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide me through this new chapter.

160 Driving Academy – New Orleans was outstanding from start to finish! Rob and Ms. Lisa truly supported me every step of the way. They kept me focused and motivated (PMS!) and I never slipped off track (no TCF!), lol. I am forever grateful to 160 Driving Academy for helping me change my life. If you listen, stay patient, and trust the process, you will succeed and earn your CDL Class A. With Rob and Ms. Lisa on your side — no weapon formed against you will prosper. You won’t lose with them, and that’s a guarantee. Believe that! Highly recommend!

Awesome Experience
I just completed my course work at 160 and ultimately successfully obtaining my class A certificate. The instructor’s at the academy were very knowledgeable in the driving industry and providing exceptional guidance as I learned to drive the truck and perform all the pre trip inspections. I really appreciate all the instructors attention to detail and giving me the necessary information to excel at all the dmv required test. Lynn does a really good job keeping the class and instructors moving in a positive direction. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn and develop there driving skills. Thank you 160 family.

GRATEFUL
My experience was great, but I was a big baby my last weeks there because it was overwhelming & hard but my instructor JC was great he pushed me when I wanted to quit & had faith in me more than I did & he absolutely made the day go by fast with humor. & Natalie was the best. They both pushed me to the finish line & now I’m a Class A driver. Great staff! I highly recommend pompano location. I can’t thank them enough for my new start in life(-:
Mike was more than a teacher - a committed trainer.
I just got my CDL from the State of Texas. My instructor, Mike Beltran, was amazing. He showed such passion and concern. Nothing about this training came naturally to me. He worked with me to pass first time. I have sat through a lot of training in my life and have done a lot of training. It is not easy to maintain that level of passion and concern for weeks of training. Every student was his project and he was determined not to leave anyone behind.
