Got me in there!!

Beyond informative. From Mr. Brown getting me secured with shifting to Mr. Marcus helping me get settled into my setups for maneuvers and Mr. Terry getting me comfortable herring into position to lock down my Pre-trip inspections and alley docking. Had a good time learning and becoming good enough to be able to get in and out of training without any issues so I thank the team for all their help!

Great Instructors at 160 Academy Shreveport,LA

Our instructor Mr.Terry is patient very knowledgeable when he is giving instructions. He describes what you need to do to correct your driving skills. Mr. Brown is also very knowledgeable as well as he teaches you how to shift gears and down-shift gears. The school is blessed to have both of them here at 160 Driving Academy in Shreveport,LA 71119.

160 Shreveport

Shreveport 160 was a good choice for me to make for getting my CDL. Everything was great about the program except the actual training area. The yard was in terrible shape with large holes to avoid while trying to learn your maneuvers for your test. When it rained, there was entire sections you had to avoid to prevent getting the truck stuck. Along with the yard, some of the equipment was in bad shape due to bouncing around that yard so much. The standard trucks and the trailers were in pretty bad shape with bad air bags and air leaks. The yard make it harder for students to learn and made it harder for the instructors to do their jobs too. The sole yard instructor was great and made the school a better experience overall but, he needs help with the amount of students he had to manage. There should be at least two instructors to help with people in the automatic class and people in the standard class... Get that yard fixed and get the instructor some help to make this a way better experience for students.

I got that GOLD CARD

There are a lot of school to achieve your Ls.. that what we call em nowadays.. my brother graduated from DDA & I chose a different route, 160 Academy was a great choice for me! I can’t speak on everyone else’s experience but for me, it was a very nice, open eyeing experience. I joined school in April and finished in October. The classroom part of the course was short & sweet. Nlaftwr that it’s time for the yard training, now that I’ve graduated I can say go in with a open mind, it’ll help you in a long run! I had great instructors who actually cared for the lesson, instead of ppl who just teaching! Everyone experience will be different but I am so thankful and pleased with my choice of 160 Academy and im sure if you choose them you would be as well!

Shawn was an awesome instructor and always answered any questions I had. He was very calm on the road when I was learning to drive which I greatly appreciated. He's fun to be around and made my experience at 160 great. All around great person and one of the best instructors I've ever had.
