160 Driving Academy of Raleigh is a truck driving school that offers a fast and affordable path to a career in trucking. Students can complete their training in just four weeks and start their careers with salaries around $40,000. The school boasts a high rate of tuition reimbursement from employers. While the academy highlights its experienced and supportive instructors, some students have expressed concerns about the learning environment. The school's truck lot has a high student-to-instructor ratio, leading to limited access to trucks and training time. Students report long wait times to practice maneuvers and a lack of available trucks. Despite these challenges, students praise the instructors for their patience, helpfulness, and dedication. The academy acknowledges the need for improvement, particularly in the computer systems used for classroom learning. Some students found the computers slow and outdated, impacting their learning experience. Overall, 160 Driving Academy offers a rapid training program with supportive instructors. However, potential students should be aware of the limited resources and potential wait times on the truck lot. The school provides a family-oriented environment, where students feel welcomed and supported in their journey to obtain a CDL license and start a new career.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars | 10/10 Experience My experience with 160 Driving Academy has been nothing short of amazing. I came into this journey extremely determined, but also very overwhelmed due to some personal things going on in my life. There were moments when it felt like a lot—but Ms. Robin never gave up on me. She was there for me in every way possible. She never lost contact with me, always checked in, kept me motivated, and reminded me why I started. Even when things got heavy, she stayed consistent, supportive, and encouraging—and she’s still motivating me to this day. Because of Ms. Robin and the support from 160 Driving Academy, I pushed through when I could’ve quit. If you’re looking for a school that actually cares about you as a person and not just a student, this is it. I’m beyond grateful. 10/10—highly recommend!
I went in there not knowing nothing about trucks or driving! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Came out of there with my CDL license ONE AND DONE. Highly recommended for anyone. Shoutout to Kelsey,Tom,Antonio,Jose and Corey good instructors and very helpful.
I came into 160 Driving Academy in Moline, IL skeptical and guarded because of things I had heard, but Tesla, the Branch Manager, completely shifted that experience. From the moment we spoke, she was sharp, professional, organized, and clearly about her business. She listened to every concern, broke everything down with confidence, and didn’t dismiss how important earning my CDL is to me. She even went out of her way to try and see if there was a spot open for an earlier start date — that speaks volumes about her leadership and work ethic. Tesla leads with integrity and intention, and because of her, I feel confident and solid in my decision. If you’re serious about getting your CDL, this is the location you want — and Tesla is exactly who you want leading it.
