Instructors have decades of combined experience

5.0 out of 5 · Kimberley S. · 6 years ago

My experience at 160 driving academy was overall great. There were a few bumps in the road (much pun haha) along the way, but they were always professional and made sure to focus in on any weaknesses you may have as a student. Each instructor brought something to the experience. Heather was spot on with the pre trip, Kelly was awesome at shifting and I learned to float gears with no prior experience driving a manual, Tim perfected my down shifting and Pat was the maneuver whisperer. I passed my skills/road test on the first try with confidence because I was totally prepared by this awesome team. Sidenote, you do still need to double clutch for the road test, but on the road, it's not always possible or even necessary to do so. I got real world knowledge and advice from a team of REAL truckers who have been there and done that. I thank them for everything and I still can't believe it's already over. I would recommend 160 driving academy to anybody in the Detroit area looking to obtain their CDL.
