Hard work pays off!!

Just graduated 160 Academy yesterday and I'm feeling excited about my new career direction, Chelsea (Branch Mgr.) Is great and very helpful, the instructors are all awesome and all very helpful, you got questions just ask they all want everyone to succeed but can't do it for you, you gotta want it and be open to learning and put in the work!! Special shot out to instructors Erin, Keyon and Kyle I learned a lot and appreciate you guys so much!! And P.S Kyle, I'm still "King of the hill."

Great Experience

I had a great experience at 160 Driving Academy Flint. I had excellent instructor's that really care about each student. They take the time to figure out how you learn the easiest and help you understand everything needed to pass your CDL test. You can tell they are passionate and dedicated about helping. The experience was like no other, hands down best around. The instructor's that helped me the most were Erin, Keyon, Kyle, LC and Tom! Thank you all for the amazing experience. I recently passed my CDL test and had an interview the day after I passed. I am currently employed with a construction company and I owe it all to my instructor's! I can not thank you enough.

Not one to leave reviews

Not one to leave reviews, but 160 Trucking is hands down one of the best and easiest places to learn how to drive trucks. The instructors are super accommodating and very helpful, answer every question diligently including if you ask the same thing multiple times with no issue. Huge shout out to some of the instructors, Keyon, James, Jacob, Erin and Dave. Super helpful and I wouldn’t have been able to get the class done as quick as I did if it wasn’t for them. I enjoyed every minute of the class as the instructors as a whole made it a fun learning experience. Thank you all!! (P.s just listen and study and you can be apart of the one and done club as many others have)

Great experience!!

First of all I want to say thank you to all the instructors and staff! You guys are all amazing and great at what you do! My first week I worked with Keyon and LC, they gave me the foundation and fundamentals I needed to learn and build on my driving skills with the manual transmission. My second and third week I worked with Jacob, Erin, Keyon, LC and Kyle learning my backing maneuvers (only so many because it just didn’t click for me, lol) Kyle took a different approach and used something I was familiar with to help me understand and then it clicked! My third and fourth week I got to polish up my skills, again, I worked with Kyle and he was so patient in helping with my downshifting and on the road maneuvering in traffic. He made me feel comfortable and not so anxious. And, I can’t forget Penny, even though I didn’t work with her directly she checked on me from time to time and offered to help in areas I was struggling. All in all it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend 160 Driving Academy in Flint to anyone looking to obtain their CDL!

Awesome crew!

160 was a awesome crew! They worked with you really well! Very fun and safe environment, would recommend to anyone who is interested in getting there CDL A! My favorite instructors were James and Jacob, they helped me graduate early and worked with you on everything you were struggling with! Would recommend to anyone!:

Best ever

So I’m just going to say it. I tried to use Star’s CDL CLASS A facility. But they barely work with you. I tried to pass my backing skills twice and failed. So I signed up for a 40 hour refresher course and with 160 Driving Academy. All the instructors actually work with you and show you what your doing wrong and the right way to do it. I loved going to the training sessions and boy oh boy did I learn a lot. So if your looking for a place to get your CDL CLASS A this I the place you want to be. They have an amazing staff and I passed this time with flying colors. They had me so prepared that I wasn’t even the least bit nervous when taking my test. And I came home everyday on an amazing mood unlike when I went to Star. A huge thanks to the entire staff and all the instructors.

Awesome Instructor

Very precise and knowledgeable. Answered all of our questions and explained everything very well. Highly recommend!!!

Mr Gambrell

Mr Gambrell gave me the best educational experience I ever imagined having.

June 2022

Location was as expected. Not a resort location, but met the needs for a classroom and yard for exercises. The instructors were very good. Tough but fair. YOU NEED TO STUDY… you will have to learn the information they give you. Theres no way around it. If you follow their program you will do well on your state test.
