I attended 160 driving academy for 3 months October-December I was not able to pass because of my own mistakes but the instructors are great and they push you to be the best Trucker you can be even when I struggled I never had a bad day or experience at 160

My experience with 160 driving academy was very helpful. The instructors, at the Jacksonville location made things very simple & easy to learn. However, Anton (Jacksonville) & Eddy (Orlando) help me understand controlling the trailer! Key points on the tractor & trailer. I’ve already recommended one friend & I will be recommending more to either one of those two. I feel exceptionally confident driving after learning from them.

160 driving academy was a great fit for me. I have a we’re all grown mentality and understand what we’re here for type of attitude. I feel like everyone at 160 driving academy from start to finish embodies that same mentality. I quietly had so much going on in life, and need to handle situations, make money on the side to stay on top of bills, as I lost my job and car to an accident were I was T boned. Isaiah convinced me to continue with no days off so I could go in get it done and over. As I get to the yard I then meet Anton, and one of his 1st messages was that I can work with you all day long as long as you don’t give up on me. He completely stood by that statement to say the least. Oh yeah, Anton grades you fairly tough so don’t expect for him to baby you. He wants you to be confident and know your stuff. I finally meet Fletcher who was on vacation my 1st week on the yard and instantly I begin feeling comfortable about how to control this trailer when doing maneuvers. He knows all the little details that will help you while operating that truck. Umm, did I mention he is the Pre-trip God…He also constantly reminded me you will be just fine, maybe he saw the attentiveness in my eyes but I appreciate it.Now, Sergeant was the basic trainer in my eyes as you need basic training before advance training with Fletcher… and lastly Q is there support person and he is more attentive than you may think but I tried to keep this nice and brief so thank you all for your support… They need better trucks if I had any complaint but hey that’s not under their control.… Anton, Fletcher and the team keep doing a GREAT JOB!!!! One and Done…IT CAN BE DONE!!!

Female truck driver here, I attended 160 in the past, Ron was amazing very helpful and encouraged me from the beginning to the end. Anton and fletcher speak to female students inappropriately, and I will never forget when Anton use to torment me when I struggled with my backing. So to the new students out there don't allow him to belittle you because you're having a hard time with backing. It took him 8 years, and more than 3 attempts to pass his cdl test. He also raised his voice at me in front of other students, and told me I would never get a cdl. Clearly that’s not the case. So to the current students take your time, be patient, and 160 please look in to getting more respectful instructors with better communication skills.There wasn't a Lucinda in my class at all. Someone who's focused on learning isn't about to comment on another persons experience that they weren't even there for. You don't know me, and you wasn't in school with me. I have nothing to do with your learning. Ghost don't get to tell anyone what they learn, but my license does. I came to show all the instructors my appreciation because there were helpful instructors. Like I mentioned above. That's all. It's behind me now.

Sorry to Akur but maybe she was crushing on the instructors more then she was learning. These gentlemen work day in and out to make sure we learn, but as adults we have to be willing to learn and not take this as a hangout. The fact this young lady came back and talked to these very 2 men she claimed didnt know how to speak to her is crazy but I get my work done and hope to make them proud. Truth they need better trucks for training and more efficiencent staffing throughout 160 to make sure testing is in so students can indeed be out with 160 hrs thats what the school advertised.

It’s been 11 months since I passed my road test with 160 driving Academy. I took it in a manual and Tom was great from start to end. When I had a problem with jtech taking my road test Tom Stepped in and solved it. Thanks a lot for doing what you do.
