AWESOME SCHOOL, HANDS DOWN!

They genuinely care about the students. From the instructor Randy, to the branch manager Tiffany, they go above and beyond to see you succeed. I definitely recommend this school!!!

Former student

If I could give them 6 stars I would…these guys were extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. When I had a question they answered it directly or pointed me in the right direction to get the answer..all of the instructors were very well trained and they all have had many years of driving experience and they are very patient with the students…there was no yelling or screaming or getting frustrated…they didn’t make you feel stupid for not understanding certain things. I would recommend this school to anyone who is wanting to start their career as a truck driver…if you do go tell them I sent ya 😉

Fresh start

160 really wants us to not only pass but to be successful. The instructors gets to know you Individually, this helps them figure out what works for you individually. Tiffany is VERY helpful as well she expects you to learn the information in class rather than memorizing it. All and all I would say 160 really gets you ready for the real world.

Best school, great instructors. All out great program

Trust the process.

Before I started I had never driven a manual transmission car. But after attending the Peoria branch I acquired my class A CDL after the first time testing. The instructors were calm and patient and eager to answer and acknowledge all questions and concerns. I would recommend in a heartbeat!

Great School

Experience was great. The instructors Randy and Jeff were great. I really enjoyed working with them. Would recommend this school for anyone who wants to learn how to drive a truck

Awesome school

It was an awesome experience going to 160. The teachers were great. I felt her comfortable with all of them. I’m very happy the helped me accomplish my goal at getting my cdl. Now I’m a driver in Savannah Ga. Which has been my dream place to live and with out 160 it would do never happened.

My personal experience

What an amazing experience I had with the instructors and the guys that were training with me we were like a family and we learned a lot from each other and helped each other out through out the training course, and if anyone is looking to get their CDL from somewhere I would tell you this is the right to do so.

Great program!

I was nervous joining the program it’s a lot of money, but I’m so glad I did. The manager is really nice. I was having problems attending class everyday, but they worked with me. The only issue I have is while you're at the yard there is so much time that everybody is doing nothing when we could be driving more.

160 Drive

Great Instructors soaked up all the knowledge that they shared, also hands on and they wanted you to exceed to be successful.
