Excellent program

My experience With 160 Driving Academy at Prairie State was great. The learning environment is good, the teaching and curriculum really helped me with obtaining my CDL.

Best team of instructors!

All the students that I trained with passed the first time! Thanks to the Team of Deja, Antwon,Wayne, Larry and Amir. We tested with confidence and had the knowledge from the intense and direct training the team provided. Excellent location choice for school, you won't be disappointed. Choose Prairie State and get your CDL.

Thankfull

Hope all is well I would recommend 160 at prairie state to any one. I had a life changing experience Antawan and his team are true professionals who know what they are doing. I never drove before and they taught me how to respect and drive a truck 🚚 I got my class A CDL and passed on the first time they got me prepared to succeed 💯 and put some good honest money in my pockets $$$$$ they know there jobs very well and go stand on you to help you succeed and get your license 💯 and really learn the truck go drill you everyday to make sure you know what you talking about as long as you want it they go help you get it. I must say the whole team needs a RAISE!!!!!!!!$$$$$$ Can't go wrong going to any 160 school but I can only speak on that one also the people at south holland are very good also they get you ready to pass out all you gota do is listen and pay attention. God bless all of them 🙏 and thank you for help to change my bank account $$$$$ Love 160

Excellent instructors

I really enjoyed the environment and the people I met at this location. The instructors made you feel comfortable and confident as you progress through the program. When it was time for me to test, I had no doubt in my mind that I was going to pass everything in one day because the instructors are going to make sure that you are equipped with everything you are to know. Glad to be apart of their "One and Done" club!!!!!

South Holland

I had a great experience at 160 Drive staff and human was very helpful. resources. The trainers provided excellent communication and understanding was very helpful.

Best site. Best instructors ever!!!!

My experience at 160 was a blessing honestly. I’ve heard of so many other schools/yards where ppl complained about these I didn’t experience here. Marsha is the absolute BEST at getting you started. Twon, Wayne, & Chris takes everything from there & they are in my opinion the best. My progress came along way now looking back. You won’t know anything starting off and they are very patient with you. Best school ever! Thanks for opportunity
