Amazing

I had Jo as a instructor and she was amazing and taught me so much through the week the real world story’s and examples of her experiences really helped with understanding everything she was teaching

Instructor review

Josephine (Joe) is by far the best Instructor/teacher I’ve ever had in any school format. For those that struggle with retaining school information, Joes super thorough and her personal experiences from the road really help you understand and retain important information. Being a terrible test taker, Joe’s way of teaching I managed to pass every quiz and test with flying colors. Thank you, Joe!

dear everyone

Great School but even better Staff

I want to give a shout-out to Ashley Tompkins, my advisor at 160 Driving Academy. She's not one of the trainers, but she was a huge part of why I got my CDL. Ashley was there every step of the way with my enrollment. Anytime I reached out, she was there. If she couldn't pick up because she was busy, she called me right back. She answered all my texts. When I kept getting rescheduled for new test dates, she sorted the whole mess out. She was sorry that this was happening and helped to make up for it. And when I passed, she congratulated me like it was her own win. If you're thinking about getting your CDL through 160, ask for Ashley. She'll take care of you. - Pierre Jean

Engaging and experienced teachers

Had a wonderful time learning with instructor Liz. She took the time to answer our questions and made sure we understood what we were learning. She has a lot of experience and had a lot of real life examples to share. Very interesting and beneficial class. Thank you Liz, and everyone else who taught with her!

Instructor Josephine

She is an outstanding teacher and a true professional who represents your school/company so well. You are lucky to have her on your team, and I’m grateful to have had her in my corner!
