The Best

160 driving academy is the best driving company. Family orientated and they do not give up on you. I thank you all the whole staff. Blessings 💯💯💙

Just passed my road test

My experience was great. Mrs Kristi Bryant was always there for me when I needed assistance, rather phone or email… The 1st week or so on the truck yard was hectic because I was new to this, but once I settled in with the instructors it all start coming together. One instructor Utivia explained things as simple as possible which started giving me the confidence I needed…I am very much thankful & eager to start my new career

It’s The Truth

Dope experience! 160 Driving Academy’s staff (office & the yard) are patient, informative, clear/concise & was very dedicated to helping us move along. I couldn’t have chosen a better school.

Schedule planning

My translucency driving was excellent they really do work with your schedule for example I worked night shift which was 10 to 6 and it was able to work around it so I was able to go to class without any hassle or problems and it was just a great experience all around.

Good School for Learning Truck Driving

I have just completed the 160 truck driving course. I had to study hard. This is an accelerated program of 160 hours total (40 hrs -Classroom and 120 hrs Driving Time). It is a lot of information to learn quickly and you get a lot of tests but the information is thorough. You should have good study skills or at least a good memory to go through this course. You should also be mechanically inclined as well as handle academics to complete this course. Both skills are needed. I do recommend this course but it is serious work. My classroom time was no problem but I dropped a Driveshaft on one of the trucks my first week in the driving portion of class. I developed the Nickname of Driveshaft Willie. I like it and think I will keep it. I now have my official Class A license. I am so proud and grateful. I recommend this course to anyone who has the determination and necessary skills to study hard. I am glad to join this family of workers. Good luck to all future truckers. Thank you 160 Driving Academy. 🙋🏽‍♂️🙏🏽

160 Driving Academy

Since day one of training with 160 Driving Academy, I was brought in with open arms and alot of one on one training. The instructors were great to work with along with my career path. I felt like apart of the family and even though I have graduated, I miss being onsite and working along with the instructors.
