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.

I started with 160 Driving Academy in May, 2024. I loved it.. I never had any prior experience before driving a semi truck. I thought the management was great. The instructors will work with you to achieve your goal in driving. A very family oriented environment and they made you feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this school if anyone is considering getting a CDL license and wanting to make more money and change careers or start something new. My advice to anyone reading this would be to take the initiative first step and go for it. Take this journey!
Best Regards.
