Negative experience: I recommend going somewhere else. When I was there a month ago I was not happy with the overall experience. There automatic was broke and there manual trucks barely worked one couldn't leave the yard at the time and the other had a hard time switching gears in some cases. If you do attend make sure you ask if the trucks are working properly. I went to sage trucking and passed with flying colors in a manual. More one on one training no more than two students at a time.

Fantastic experience: I went here a year ago. I had Eric and Tom as instructors. They both were fantastic. I honestly can’t say enough good things about them. They do more than just prepare you for a test with their years of experience in the industry. Megan in the office is also great and was very helpful in figuring out payment options. I highly recommend going to this location to obtain your CDL. (Connersville, Indiana)

Positive experience: I only could give a 4 star due to the equipment but as far as the branch manager (Megan) which was a tremendous help from the start of applying to the finish. Also to the two instructors that was great and will do what is needed to help u along the way (Tom & Chad) was two of the greatest people I've ever met. As far as the equipment wasn't the best mediocre at best but everyone changed there teaching enough to work with the equipment and got me through. Thanks to all

Fantastic experience: 160 Drive Academy in Connersville is THE best school in the state. Their course is simple, follow their methods and you WILL succeed. The instructors do not hold your hand, you have to want it, but they motivate you to want it. Big shout out to their Branch Manager Megan Munchel who works hard for each and every student and to the head instructor Eric Noble who's foolproof curriculum and "will not accept failure" attitude helped me succeed. Don't take my word for it, their student's success rate speaks for itself.
