Earning your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is the key to launching a successful trucking career—and at 160 Driving Academy, we make sure you're ready to pass your exam the first time around.

We understand that the CDL test can feel intimidating, especially if you’re new to commercial driving or haven’t taken a test in years. That’s why we’ve designed a training program that focuses on confidence, repetition, and real-world preparation—so when test day comes, you’re not just hoping to pass… you’re expecting to.

Here’s how we help you get there.

🧠 1. Classroom Training That Makes the Complex Clear

The first part of your CDL journey is passing the written exam to earn your permit. Our classroom instructors break down the material into easy-to-understand lessons that cover:

  • General Knowledge
  • Air Brakes
  • Combination Vehicles
  • Pre-Trip Inspection basics

You’ll get plenty of practice questions, review sessions, and support to help you lock in the knowledge. As one student, Rezki, put it:

“Laura was a great instructor. She made learning the material easy and understandable. I highly recommend her.”

🚛 2. Hands-On Yard and Road Training

Once you’ve got your permit, the real fun begins. Our training yard is where you’ll build your skills behind the wheel and prepare for the skills portion of the test.

You’ll learn:

  • Backing maneuvers
  • Parallel parking
  • Coupling and uncoupling
  • On-the-road driving in real traffic

Every move you’ll make on test day is practiced repeatedly until it feels like second nature.

Jose D. shared:
“At first I thought I was gonna be overwhelmed, but surprisingly with both of my instructors, I was able to pass with over 90% on the final.”

💬 3. One-on-One Instructor Support

At 160, we keep our classes small so you can get personalized attention. Instructors work with you one-on-one to fix mistakes, build confidence, and answer your questions—whether you’re in the classroom or behind the wheel.

Daquaan B. said it best:
“Laura explained everything to us from start to finish. I will recommend 160 Drive to anyone!”

🏆 4. “One and Done” Club Mentality

We aim for every student to be part of our unofficial “One and Done” Club—students who pass their CDL exam on the very first try.

Antonio A., a recent graduate and proud member of the club, shared:
“Having no prior CDL training and suffering from test anxiety for as long as I can remember, I was surprised at how well I did. It was not luck—it was the acquired skills that got me through it.”

We prepare you so thoroughly that test day feels like just another practice run.

🎯 5. Confidence, Not Cramming

We don’t believe in cramming or rushing. We believe in preparing. You’ll spend time in real situations, learning from experienced instructors who’ve been where you’re going and know how to get you there.

We focus on confidence through consistency, so that by the time your test date rolls around, you’re not nervous—you’re ready.
