Best decision I have made for my future

Easily one of the best decisions I have made in my life was choosing this school over others. Mr. Gilbert and Ms. T.C. are the best teachers I could have asked for. This school is definitely faster paced, but with the staff there it absolutely works in the time frame you have. I would be lying if I said I was fully confident in being able to complete the program after my first week in the yard. But after going on the road with Mr. Gilbert and guidance on my maneuvers with Ms. TC a few times it felt so natural. I have never driven a stick shift in my life before this, and I was a One and Done on my test. I absolutely cannot speak highly enough about this school. Do yourself a favor and if you are considering trucking, GO HERE!!!

160 Driving Academy - ONE AND DONE ✅

Here at 160 Academy, I have learned everything there is to know to be a great trucker! I highly recommend you to go to this school if you are interested in this trade. After only 4 weeks, I was able to pass the test and obtain my Class A CDL as a ONE AND DONE! Special shout out to TC, Mr.G and Mr.Tim! Thanks for all the support!!!
