At first, it was hard but when you get closer, everything you learn be put in a test. Everyone there want you to get your CDL but it’s up to you if you really want it. I wanted it, if it wasn’t for Eddie, both Dan and Pete pushing you to the limits. I love them for that, I complain at first but there’s none. They did they job hundred percent. Thank you so much!

At first, I had an awesome support from Stephanie since I stop at the office to get informations about the program… She always super efficient and carefully!! Wen I start at the yard, first week I thought I enlisted in the army, it was hard, tiring, a lot of information, first time inside a truck, driving this giant on the street, a little scary… At first, the instructors seem tough, but don't be fooled… pay attention to the instructions, which are very good, then you will realize that they are great instructors, and super nice people… It was an intense, difficult, tiring three weeks… But extremely rewarding. Thanks to all the instructors, and staff at 160 Academy.. Once again, thanks for everything. ONE AND DONE

Brian , Nancy, Roy, Dan, Daniel, and Eddie are all amazing instructors that took their time and had patience with me and ensured I was ready to go when my test date came. I couldn’t be any happier with my experience at the school. Everyone had their own way of teaching but in the end they all wanted the same thing for each of us. Amazing people ID recommend this school to anyone.

As a student coming from Boston and looking for the best school that could get me my Cdl was very hard.Coming to 160 drive was the best choice I ever made it was very exciting the reason why is because my branch manager Stephanie walk me through everything I needed to know she was very sweet and nice but she is all about Business. Now I don’t even know we’re should I start when it came down to working on the yard.And let me tell you my lead instructor Eddie this man was sent to from heaven this man never gave up on me he always had faith in me even though I didn’t he always said hey look at me remember why you came here you didn’t come here for nothing do this for your son. And Mr. Brian my instructor this man never left my side not one’s we had over ups and down the reason why is because I wanted to give up he told me I believe in you when I first started to work on offset this man kept making me get out the truck and look when you here Brian say’s pull your breaks and come here I was getting mad when he kept doing that until I understand what I was doing and what I was looking at I was getting frustrated every time and I started to realize why he was doing it he said Alex if you want your trailer to go right turn your wheels to the left when it was time for me to do alley dock this man made me cry because I wanted the easy way out and he was not having it he said you better not come this far and now you want to gave up he said I have faith in you I’m giving you all I got you better take it and run with it you just got to trust the process and let the trailer do some work you can’t do all the work for the trailer just trust the process and I did I could truly say if it wasn’t for Eddie and Brian and John and Daniel I don’t know how would I pass the CDL they had nothing but tough love They never gave up on me If I had the chance to refer anyone to this school I would the reason why is because of these guys If I gave every detail about my experience in the school I would have wrote a book I love you guys and now I am a graduate from 160 driving academy if I could do it you could do it to.

Every single instructor at the Orlando location was amazing! From the branch manager, Stephanie, to the lead instructor, Eddie, everyone went above and beyond to help. Thank you Russ, Daniel, Ron, and Pete - I couldn’t have done it without you guys!

If you’re looking for instructors, who are kind, affable, knowledgeable, and of course helpful then you are in the right path to your transportation career. In the short time that we must obtain a CDL, 160 Driving Academy in Orlando helped me to press on every time I would feel drained or frustrated. Nancy and Dan conducted the pre-trip inspections in a way that I could pick it quickly. Roy’s and Ron’s amiable and peaceful nature usually helped me relaxed and offered guidance and encouragement to use good decision-making skills. And as always Eddie and Stephanie giving me good advice whenever I needed help. Overall, I had an excellent learning experience and would highly recommend the Orlando team!

Awesome learning experience at 160 Driving Academy. All of the instructors and branch manager were very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and had immense patience. As I am someone who sometimes needs to hear and learn something after a few tries. They take the time to answer all your questions, even if they need to repeat it for you to actually learn it. The course was fast paced so try to study as much as you can before you actually get to the yard everyday to practice your pre-trip inspection, skills and driving. If you are struggling with something, just ask the instructors to help and they will go above and beyond to help you. Overall great experience, highly appreciative and definitely recommend 160 Driving Academy.
