I had an amazing experience going through this academy. Julie at Palos hills was a huge help from start to finish, always on top of her game. I had great instructors along the way Laurence, Henry, Jabari, and Sharjah. Thank you for pushing me. I start my first job at Werner Enterprises tomorrow.

Everyone who is with 160 will go beyond and will help you out with getting you ready for your CDL all you have to do is to listen to them all of the instructors are the greatest they take the time the one's at the Harvey yard are the best hands down the best I'm know a class A driver because of them

I was sent to 160 Driving Academy by my employer in order to get my CDL and consider myself very lucky to have gone through their program. I did my classroom portion at Morain Valley Community College in Palos Hills and my driving portion at the yard in Harvey. From the start, Julie was both very professional and very encouraging. It is rare to find someone who seems as genuinely passionate helping others as she is. Julie made sure that I had all the information I needed every step of the way, and was available if I ever had any questions or issues. I ended up finishing the whole process in just over 5 weeks and passed the state exam on my first try (and hence got to join the school's 'one-and-done' club). I've gotten thrown right into driving the class A vehicles back at work and I feel very comfortable doing so after going through 160. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to give themselves a huge leg up and be always in demand in the job market by getting their CDL.

I am a one and done graduate of 160 and I thought the entire program was organized and has a great process of helping students, and most of the instructors make it easy to learn too.

I went to the Palos Hills location to get some information on obtaining a CDL. Thats, were I met Julie the branch manager from the Palos Hills location. She was great from the beginning. Julie showed me all my options on how I can join the 160-academy program. They had great payment options and they also assist you if you need to go thru the WIOA program. Julie laid out how the whole program works and maintain great communication throughout the whole process. Once I arrived at the yard for my training I had a great experience with my instructors. The main instructor Will S. help out a lot to help keep everything on track. I want to thank the instructors Brian, Henry, Bonnie, Gerald, Moses, Shahara, Lawerence, Don, and Reggie with helping to put everything together from pre-trip, skills and driving on the road. I had a great experience and had fun doing it. I highly recommend 160 Driving Academy for anyone who is looking to obtain their CDL. Thank you!!

My experience couldn’t have been better. Sure some days were more difficult than others, when you’re just learning everything. But the instructors and branch managers will help you with any questions you have along the way as long as you ask them and apply what they are telling you. Doing what your supposed too and making the most of your time really helps and goes along way. I couldn’t have asked for a better school to help me obtain my cdl.

I really enjoyed my time at 160 Driving Academy. My branch manager Julie is hands down amazing! She's very helpful, thoughtful, and energetic. I could write an essay of how amazing & awesome Julie is! I'm extremely thankful to have her as my branch manager. Her knowledge and positivity is why I chose 160 Driving Academy. Thank you Julie for looking out for me:) S/O to all of my instructors, all were amazing and very helpful. Thank you so much!

It was very cool on joining the trucking club . When I searched for 160 I seen all the good reviews on their website. I joined on February 26th & got my license on April 23rd 2024. Honestly if you do everything they tell you to do, you will get it right away ONE & DONE! The faster you learn it, the quicker you’ll be out & graduate.

There’s a lot I can say about Julie, but I’m going to keep this as short and sweet as possible. Julie is the absolute best and keeps this program alive. Julie is incredibly passionate about her career as well as each and everyone of her students. Julie is kind, compassionate, thoughtful, and so down to earth. Julie treats everyone of her students like gold; she cares about us and our success. She always guides her students in their best interests for them to be successful. I always kept Julie’s good luck token with me; the smarties that she gives to every student. I can now say I successfully earned my CDL license thanks to Julie! Thank you Julie for your motivation and kind words every time I needed it! As well, Julie deserves a huge raise! From one successful student to the next, trust in Julie!
