I love 160 driving academy. All of the instructors was great. Sara did an amazing job and was very helpful and patient with me. Dwayne the lead was also awesome down to earth love that guy. MS. T is a bad ass love her she will get you in shape and get you the knowledge you need she is a hoot lol. Denisha was also amazing funny and make you feel at home.
Sara will waste your time. She doesn’t answer her phone calls or text messages. She will lie to you And say she waiting for her accounting department to get back with her so that they can login into your account. I been waiting since December 16th for her accounting department lol. The crazy part about this is I’m not the only one she doing that too. I’m at another school and 5 other people said the same about her.. Tried to enroll in trucking school and got my time completely wasted. Had me take a drug test and DOT physical just to keep giving me the runaround. If you’re serious about driving, make sure the people you’re dealing with are actually honest and organized. Lesson learned. If you trying to come in there with a program she will waste your time because she wants you to pay out of pocket or go through one of her financial people. Sara is not for the people and not actually trying to help my screenshot are not in order but yes she will waste your time 1*
Drive 160 was the best decision I could have made for my career change. The start was a bit rocky but after the wait to get on the yard I happened to get some of the best instructors I could have prayed or paid to have. Dwayne was really cool and laid back allowed me to learn at my own pace with the technical knowledge. The newest instructor came in with her years under her belt very relatable and easy to learn from. Then you have Ms T. She is very straightforward no bs’n and no beating around the bush. Some people may find her off putting but for me she is the biggest reason I passed my exam the first go round; I can’t thank her enough. She played no games with me and got me the precise skills I needed to do what needed to be done on exam day. A big thank you to all of them! It’s only up from here I can’t wait to go back with my progress
160 Driving Academy is the best place to get your CDL training! After getting my CDL, I was free to choose who I worked for, and it was affordable, too. Sarah worked with me to get the most discounts for signing up and helped me start the process quickly. The instructors were very knowledgeable and helped me understand everything needed to pass the exams. Josh Matteson, thank you for helping me know how to pass the written general knowledge exam and the air brakes and combinations exam! The officer was impressed by how quickly I could pass the exams. The 160 Driving Academy app was invaluable in helping me to learn the material and study for the written exam. Ms. T, thank you for pushing me to stretch beyond my capabilities and encouraging me during yard training. Darren, thank you for your ability to see my successes and help provide valuable feedback to help improve myself. Dusty, thank you for your wisdom and experience operating these giant monstrosities. To the instructors at 160 Driving Academy, thank you all for your patience and hard work! You all did what you said and helped me to attain my CDL license. Standing in the yard with other trainees in frigid temperatures while learning to maneuver these tractors and trailers was hard work. Every moment was worth it, and I will never forget the time I spent training with you. I now start on a new adventure, and I am on my way to being able to support my family financially. Thank you again, 160 Driving Academy! Keep up the great work!
This place was great. Came in listening to what they had to teach. In school Sarah and Jess where the best. In the yard Chris, Nick, Dave, and Miss T showed me they way of doing it. I put it all together and it gave me a one and done. So glad I came here and not Roadmaster!!!
