Great class with good instructors! You’ve gotta be self motivated and driven to pass this course. They give you everything you need to succeed. You just have to listen and take the advice given
Great School in Albuquerque New Mexico
Tom was absolutely great I have never driven a semi before truck driving school had lots of confidence when I took my test and I passed the first time
My experience
Towards the end of my experience things started to click. Instructors/staff gave me the assistance needed to be able to achieve the goal. Would like to thank Tony, Roscoe, Phil, Eli, Jarret and Tacy for the encouragement assistance and push down the stretch #TruckDriver.
Awesome school!!
So first off I can't select the location off the school I went to but I attended the Plant City, FL location and let me tell you I'm not blowing smoke or sugar coating this. That location and those 3 instructors were amazing Marc, Adrian and Steve you guys rock! They taught me well haha they had a well organized pretrip book to help you with seeing and knowing what the parts are and the verbiage they want you to use on test day that alone was super helpful with trying to memorize all the parts and things you need to do during pretrip all 3 instructors are awesome guys and super helpful they want you to succeed and they will help you with everything you need to know for test day I can't thank them enough. If you are truly wanting your CDL and you are willing to put in the work for it these guys and this school will definitely help you succeed I passed my Class A CDL test thanks to them and the hard work I put in with the constant studying. To 160 driving academy thank you for being a great school and to the Plant City location thank you very much guys yall helped me make my dream career come true
Mac is hands down the man @ 160
So at first when I came in I wasn’t too sure if I really wanted this because I had a serious family situation to occur in my first week. So Each day I wld come to school doubting myself. Then on week 2 I said to myself well you better give it your all now or quit. Mr. Dean wldn’t of let me quit if I had even tried to. Which Im thankful that he is there in the position he is. He keeps everyone on track from the students to the instructors. I was also thankful that he put me in Mac group. It’s something about a calm tone, patient person that calms me and grabs my full attention. That’s how Mac the instructor over the automatics is. I cld be in the truck nervous overthinking things and then next thing I know he would begin coaching me or who ever through what we needed to do. I went from being worried that I was messing up too much to each day starting to feel more and more confident. Honestly by week 3 i felt I was ready to be tested. Each day all I did was applied the steps that was given to me and all my maneuvers worked. I would go home and replay everything that Mac had said during training. The next day I would conquer it. I will say everyone learns different some of us may take a little more time or a different strategy. We had people from different parts of the world in our class and all of them appeared to be understanding and working well with Mac. And not to just call on my instructor whom I think is the best but I observed all the other instructors. I would trust my friends and family in the hands of any of them. 160 on 85th is where you want to be they’re a great team
Game Changer
Starting from the top, Renee! Thank you for so patient with the GI Bill process. Once on site, I was dazed and confused. But the instructors got me gathered, focused and confident to complete the task at hand. Jordan, Pierre, Karl, Emmit, Drew and my guy Randy, all very sharp and competent at what they do. Great crew of INSTRUCTORS!! Randy really reeled me in toward the end and gave me some great pointers. Thank you for the 1 on 1’s after each drive. I’ve been out of the military 6 years and have been enjoying my stagnant daily routine. Now I have my Class A CDL, “Game Changer!” Thanks a million guys, Monj B.
Passed my test the first time
First i would like to thank Arrin my instructor for pushing me above and beyond expecially with safety. Also for all the others , Blake,Brian , and other instructor with the locks on his head to give me other ways of training. The people in front office kept me on schedule and was able and willing to work with me from beginning to end. IM CLASS A MANUAL BABY!!!!!
Family
When I came to this industry, I left my office job that I was in for 5 years as a sacrifice. The very first day that I reached out, Angela made it her business to help me find some way to obtain this goal. Even in the beginning when I wanted to give up because I saw no way of this happening she was still in contact and still pushing trying to find some type of way to make it happen. Now starting off… I can’t lie I was nervous but Mike, Clarence, Chris, and Charles assured me that I would be okay and would do better than what I gave myself credit for! Not only did these people become a family in 30 days, they taught me how to do a banging 90 degree back with little to no effort, not only did they teach me the how and why of everything detail of the truck.. but why it’s necessary to know even if your job will never have you touch it because it’s for your safety! I’m asking for a lifetime membership in the 160 family here in Greensboro! Like I will forever be in contact with them because in the great words of Chris “The day you stop learning, is the day you should park your truck” I truly appreciate this experience and I’m sending a lot of people to this academy! I don’t have family here but with them I felt right at home!
Great school
Awesome driving school! All of the instructors and personnel are amazing and very patient. They provide all the knowledge and tools to obtain your CDL a long with a great environment to be around. I would highly recommended to anyone who is wanting to get their CDL to attend 160 driving academy!! One of the best experiences!! Commerce, GA location.
