Awesome Experience
I just completed my course work at 160 and ultimately successfully obtaining my class A certificate. The instructor’s at the academy were very knowledgeable in the driving industry and providing exceptional guidance as I learned to drive the truck and perform all the pre trip inspections. I really appreciate all the instructors attention to detail and giving me the necessary information to excel at all the dmv required test. Lynn does a really good job keeping the class and instructors moving in a positive direction. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn and develop there driving skills. Thank you 160 family.

A Great and Worthwhile Experience
My time at this academy was well spent! This is definitely one of those careers that requires lots of attention to detail and safety which is impressed early on in training. You get what you put into it! The trainers are honest and realistic about the work and what is needed to be successful which I really appreciated. They have a lot of students coming through and do the best they can with a growing academy. Despite the influx of so many, they work extra to make sure you have the tools you need to get your CDL. I really appreciate all the help I received towards attaining my goal at a new career and life!

Just graduated
Going to 160 Driving academy was awesome. They worked with me and got me my cdl ASAP. Worth every penny. The instructors got me ready to go in with confidence and pass first try. Couldn't ask for more.

Excellent Casual Mastery!
My experience at 160 was much better than I expected. I expected it to be stuffy and rigid, but the reality was the total opposite. The atmosphere and the flow of things at the Reno/Carson City training yard was very casual and personable, but don't let the chill demeanor of the instructors fool you. All of the instructors were extremely experienced, knowledgeable, skilled, helpful, patient, and just plain friendly. They did whatever was necessary to help you understand everything required to pass the CDL DMV tests. The only things I wasn't the biggest fan of was that all of the training trucks weren't the same and that the training needed a little more focused structure. Overall, my time at 160 was great, the instructors are pure gold, and I would highly recommend people to 160. I'm grateful I chose 160.

Old dogs can learn new tricks
The thing that makes a great school are the instructors,. The atmosphere they create is phenomenal. What I got out of this school was the skills I needed to get my cdl and some great friendships that fortified my success.

Damon, John and Lynn
I got invaluable information, learning and skills from each instructor. Damon taught me many mechanical things. I wouldn’t have thought about brakes and their function to the degree that I learned. John’s unwavering patience and dedication to get me to “trust the process” guided me throughout the class. And Lynn got me to finally double clutch. It was a group effort from all of the instructors but it somehow clicked, over night, with Lynn. In short, the entirety of the knowledge and instruction from them all got me through. I passed my dmv cdl test on the first try. Although, as with anything in life worth doing, there were some struggles. But I think this team can streamline this program and make it better and stronger. Did I mention I had a ton of fun? I also got a job the same day I passed the dmv test. I leave for training in a couple of days. Thanks to you all. And thank you Stacy for getting the ball rolling for me. ❤️

The word is out!
I am very impressed with the quality of the Reno location classroom and yard staff. The seamless transition from classroom to the yard was something to be admired. They demonstrated a very high level of professionalism and skill. The yard work was some of the best training I've ever received. Each instructor has their own information and skill to impart on their students. I couldn't have asked for better. All my questions and concerns were addressed in easy to follow instructions. Skills modules were progressed at a constant rate and were challenging enough to keep progress moving without compromising safety. They could have submitted me for taking the road test a week earlier than they did. Instead they waited the extra week, which proved the out with my "one-and-done" at DMV. Even though 160 cost a little more than the other Reno competitors, it was well worth the extra money. That is more than proven by the students that transferred to 160 from their competitors. I think the word is out, and the word is 160.
