Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at 160 Driving Academy! I got my CDL in less than five weeks, and the staff in Tampa was amazing. The best part was not having to sign a contract with any carrier, and the branch manager made starting my new job really easy. The branch manager at the office made my who process a easy one she was very informative and I recommend anyone looking for a CDL contact her at the Tampa office.. I will also be referring my family and friends.

Fantastic experience: 160 Driving Academy was the best decision ever for my dad to get his CDL. From start to finish, I knew this was the right choice for us when it came to education providers. The training process was straightforward and easy to follow, and the staff was incredibly helpful and supportive. Thanks to the entire team, you really helped make my dad’s dream come true. Highly recommended!

Negative experience: training class on the yard was over crowded ended up having to switch after 8 weeks of trying. spent 8 hours a day to get maybe an 45 mins behind the wheel. edit ended up having to go somewhere else as they count the time your onsite not the time you spend training careful if the class looks full skip it and save your hours.

Fantastic experience: Best experience I’ve had yet in our search for a driving school. The customer service, communication, and informative information I received was par none, phenomenal. The woman we met with was patient and delivered thorough understanding for what their school offered and what we could look forward to in the line of work. My son was a bit terrified of all the hoops prior to this meeting and is now looking forward to applying. This experience reassured his confidence in his choice of truck driving and my confidence in the process of it all. 10/10 recommend this location.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing journey it was. Truck driving is not easy but with the training, the consistency, and the never give up attitude 160 helped get me through and graduate. This school really changed my life they never gave up on me and they never let me give up on myself. Im excited for the future and the road ahead thank you 160!!!.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at 160. All of the instructors were very patient and made sure you learned everything you needed to learn. I am so thankful for my experience and everyone I met while attending 160 academy 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: This school has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was I able to get it financed but the staff really cared about my success.

A big shout out to Avalon, James, Dwight, Bill, and Steve!!! Great staff and Instructors. Looking forward to 2024!!! Happy New Year

Fantastic experience: Great school! So glad I chose 160 to start my CDL journey. All the instructors definitely help you feel more confident, I just passed my state exam today! 10/10 would recommend

Negative experience: Bait & Switch They advertise ''no upfront costs'' but it costs -about $5500, due upfront.

Fantastic experience: Great school all of the instructors are really great and helpful James, Dan & Eddie helped me so much to get my CDL ! Also Steve and Adrian were absolutely great.

Fantastic experience: These guys are really good at what they do. They were able to identify my strengths and weaknesses and to give specific instructions for my improvement. They were very patient and I actually enjoyed the experience.

Fantastic experience: It was a great experience and challenge for me, because I am deaf. The trainer, James, had the same feeling of facing a new experience and challenge when he trained me, but we bonded immediately. Even though, his patience was appealing, he achieved the outcome well! He made sure that I accomplished my goal! However, from his experience, he would be able to train a deaf person again! Trainers do have different methods of teaching and make sure that students understand the differences of the way trainers teaching them. Finally, they all treated me and others well and they always mention if there is any question, we ask! Do not be hesitate to ask for help if you have struggles. Highly Recommended!

Fantastic experience: My experience at 160 was amazing, my teachers were awesome and extremely patient with me, i was originally a class b driver, driving medical Rv’s, so i had never driven a semi before, so once i got out to the yard i was terrified, but when the time came for me to get into the truck my teachers ( Adrian and James) made me feel so comfortable and assured me that i would be great once i learned how to drive the rig, and they were awesome and so hands on. So yea I GRADUATED AND GOT MY CDL with the help of 160. Also in the background giving me support and great advice and just a friendly check up just to make sure i was getting everything I needed Avalon was the best and i mean the best, there were days i was just frustrated with myself and i could just call on Avalon and she knew just what to say to get me back on track. Test day maaaan, Mark and Dan made sure i was calm and out of my own head to keep me focused on what i came here for, so i found a true family in my school 160 and will always recommend people to come and get their education for their new career here. YOU WONT REGRET THE DECISION I PROMISE!!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best instructors and examiners I've had. I have to give a BIG THANKS to James (the lead instructor), as well as the other instructors at the school for teaching me everything I need to know to be safe and successful on the road. The main focus is learning the information to obtain your CDL, but they also made it a happy and fun environment, with all the stories and jokes they had. Also can't forget about the examiner Dan O.
