As a woman , I was nervous, but the team at 160 are very supportive and patient. The knowledge is priceless. Tom, who is very experienced, will guide you through any maneuver. He is no nonsense. His true goal is to hear that you passed. Tim is a positive instructor. Josh, very direct and present in listening who wants success for each student and takes the time to go over the lesson as many times needed insuring you complete each attempt. The best for last. Jeremy, willing to go that extra mile to make sure you understand your positioning preforming your skills as well as driving. Jeremy is top notch and is the most patient Instructor. His way of teaching puts you at ease. He listens and shares his experience. He allows you to see your own potential. They are a great group. I actually failed my first two tests. My first because of points off my skills. My second because of a dumb mistake of my own. I passed the pre trip inspection and in cab without any problems. The paperwork too memorize is on point. The skills I am confident now more than ever that I will pass. They are a very special group. I am appreciative and ready for the next chapter in my life. I owe it to Emilio, Tom, Tim, Josh and Jeremy. I leave there with new friendships and the ability to make the kind of money needed now more than ever to support my family. Thank you 160 Academy. Sincerely, if you want your CDL, this is the place to aquire the knowledge and skills to obtain your license in a short period of time. Priceless
