160 driving academy

Overall 160 was a good experience. The instructors are very easy to get along with and put in as much as you do. You really get the feel after your first week as they push you to do well. The truck yard is very nice and easy to work with and overall the trucks are good to drive. Just want to say thank you to Mark and Ceasar for putting in the time and if you ask for extra time they will work with you. Thank you Amanda for all the information on 160 and we can't forget Dave. Make sure to keep 'em clean-ish!

No Regrets

Dedicated and knowledgeable staff and instructors. Not a moment went by that I felt like I was not getting enough instruction. I was adequately prepared for the learners permit and was more than prepared for the driving/skills tests. 160 Driving Academy should be the ONLY place to consider for obtaining your CDL. Money well spent! Thanks.
