I recently graduated from 160 Driving Academy and am extremely grateful for the exceptional support I received from Collin, John, and Leroy. Collin, as the yard manager, demonstrated outstanding organizational skills, meticulously tracking our driving hours and skill development. Despite facing moments of discouragement, Collin's unwavering encouragement and ability to push through insecurities were instrumental in my success. His constructive feedback, along with thorough explanations of safety measures, made him an outstanding instructor. I highly recommend him. John dedicated time refining my parallel parking skills on the yard, contributing significantly to my overall proficiency. Although my interactions with Leroy were limited, his calm, encouraging, and friendly demeanor during our trip left a positive impression. Thanks to their guidance, I successfully passed my CDL test on the first attempt, even in a manual truck, despite never having driven a 10-speed before. Grateful for the valuable experience with this dedicated team.
I had a great experience schooling at 160! The woman in office Becky, was so friendly and always helped me figure out my next step. My yard instructors Collin and John were extremely helpful and determined to get the class to pass their final test. Their different teaching styles work very well together too lol. As long as you just show up, put in an effort, and use your time wisely.. you will succeed.
I want to express my gratitude to Collin, John, and Leroy, the instructors, who go above and beyond to ensure your success. Additionally, Ms. Becky excels in the classroom. Great program overall for getting your CDL

When I initially made the phone call to 160 Driving Academy to inquire about the school I was immediately invited into the Munhall PA office, since that was good travel distance from my home. Within 2 weeks I was actually sitting in class. The first week went by like a blur. The remaining 3 weeks was spent at the McKeesport, PA training yard. The instructors are awesome and they give you a sense of security and confidence. I was actually driving a 18 wheel tractor trailer truck in less than two weeks at the training yard. I drove on the highway, two lane country roads, and residential neighborhoods where steering a big rig can be challenging. I graduated from the academy just two days ago. What a great feeling of accomplishment. Sky is the limit now for me and I owe it all to this great 160 team, from my initial classroom time with Mrs. Becky, to my 3 weeks with John, Colin, and Denny at the yard. I thank all of you for the start of my new career.
160(Pgh) was the best. Collin & John (Instructors) teach u, 2 work hard on learning every part of the truck. I c y 160 track record is nothing but “Wins”Thanks 4 not letting me give up 👍🏾
I graduated from 160, April 2022 from the Munhall, Pa branch. And the McKees Rocks 160 yard. I have been OTR since. I can tell you that the yard instructors truly over prepared me. Elliott, John, my bad kid Colin lol. They truly trained and built me up into one of the best drivers and the best backers the trucking industry has ever seen! I hear it everyday from veterans 30+ yrs out here. I’m so small 5’3 and a female, they’re shocked. There is no parking spot I have not been able to get in to. I foresee problems before they become a problem. I drive safe for me and for everyone else. I am forever thankful!
