Highly Recommend!!!!

Starting my journey I started looking around the area like everybody else looking at reviews and pass rates. When I called around the one that really helped me with all my questions was Crystal from the Spokane 160 driving academy. Even days after when I still had more questions she wouldn't leave me hanging she would reply with all my questions answered that same day. She got us right on board with getting in, what steps we had to take to get going. Now on our first day of our CDL on the yard training we met Dave and Ivy. One of the most caring, loving and most welcoming people I have met. You can tell that they really care about their job. I know that words can't describe the feeling and support and pushing you to be better. I know others that have come to this school felt the same way. I want to thank them for helping me and even supporting me up until the day of my test. Who ever reads this "YOU WILL NOT REGRET COMING HERE". Thanks .

Blessed

CDL

Dave and Ivy were the best teachers! They taught me everything I needed to know and were very patient and supportive through out my training. I would recommend anybody who lives close to Spokane to go through this company.

David and Ivy Cotton

160 driving academy in Mead WA was an outstanding experience. If anyone is wanting to get their CDL dont even look anywhere else. From the time i talked with Crystal at the classroom branch, to the driving instructor’s, David and Ivy at the yard I having nothing but praise and gratitude for my time there. David and Ivy have outstanding knowledge and maybe more important, patience with not only myself but all the students. I cant thank them enough, getting my CDL was very important to me, they made me feel welcome, knowledgeable, and confident. Thank you so much

Don’t wait!

I had the best experience at 160. All of my instructors were highly experienced with decades of knowledge to be able to teach and provide me the confidence to get behind the wheel and succeed. The instructors dedication to the craft and safety of driving is truly unparalleled. Thank you 160 driving academy for leading the way!! If you’re in need of a fresh start or just starting out in the workforce this is the place for you. Dedication, study, believe in your ability to succeed, you’re worth the investment! Good luck!
