I had an amazing experience at 160 Trucking Academy and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to earn their CDL.
Every instructor genuinely cared about their students. A huge thank you to Ms. Key, Mr. Gerald, Mr. Armant, Ms. Shahera, Brian, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. OG. Each instructor had their own teaching style, but they all shared one thing in common: they truly wanted every student to succeed. They took the time to answer questions, explain concepts, and make sure we understood the material. They didn't just teach us how to pass the CDL test, they prepared us for real-world trucking.
For anyone thinking about attending, my biggest piece of advice...read full review
I graduated 04-16-2026, most instructors was fantastic. Like Mr.G, Mac , Augie,Brian and Shahara. Mr. G and Brian gonna help you make sure that your Pre-Trip is on point. Shahara,with that whistle gonna implant L.R.S.R.L in your whole being. And Mac gonna drive them skills (off-setting) all the way home for you. These is the people that made it happen for me,it’s other instructors there you just have to get a good feel for the ones that works for you.
I recently got my CDL from here, I want to first off thank each and every instructor for helping me and guiding me through each stage. You guys are amazing! I will say this, it will not be easy if you do not apply yourself at home daily and at the yard; have patience and trust the instructors, they will not steer you wrong. Don't be afraid to ask questions; remember stay calm no one is perfect.
