160 Grit Crew 4-Life!

Dear 160 CDL Driving Academy, I would like to acknowledge the 160 Driving Academy (Palos Hills, IL) / 160 CDL-Training Yard (Harvey, IL) branches, for their impeccable strategy, training techniques and unwavering diligence of standing by everyone of their students who go through their courses. As a recent graduate of the 160 Driving Academy and recipient of the “One and Done” Club Award, an extinguished honor, for not having to redo any portion of the test and passing it on the first attempt. I surprised myself, and couldn't believe how well I did on testing day. Having no prior CDL training and suffering from test anxieties for as long as I can remember. I'm proud to say it was not luck, but the acquired skills that got me through it. I was like WOW, I did that! I would also like to give a shout-out to the Branch manager - Julie Mensching for going above and beyond for all her candidates, you truly have a “Heart of Gold”! Also, to the 160 Harvey Yard managers and Instructors. Who, regardless of rain, sleet or snow kept us focused, warm and safe in below freezing temps this winter season of 2025. As a Veteran of the US Armed Forces, I salute you for not leaving any man/woman behind. You sat in the trenches with your troops, regardless of the conditions. I commend you all, for you are the epitome of what a truck driving school should be modeled by. In conclusion, 160 Driving Academy encouraged me to believe in myself once again and to understand the importance of staying studious and focused regardless of past misfortunes and/or circumstances. Thanks again for the opportunity to procure a moment in life filled with personal growth, career advancement and a chance to achieve life long happiness via on-the-road success. I want all of you to know that you have my deepest and sincerest gratitude. As for my 2025 Graduating class, 160 Grit Crew, 4-life! Sincerely Antonio Aguirre A/K/A “The Doctor” P.S. Additional Honors and Acknowledgments go to Ms. Ware -IDES of Burbank, Ms. Del Valle - American Job Centers at RJD Colleges and Uncle Sam - the U.S. Department of Labor for their WIOA Grant Program. Thanks for your collaborative efforts, putting me one step closer to securing a career in transportation.
