Both Tim's and Tony were soild dudes but saying that I also feel that the company needs to start fixing the equipment they use to train students
Getting"er Done
My experience at the 160 Driving Academy in TUlsa OK,was a good one! It changed my life for the better with the opportunities I will have now that I got my CDL A license. The instructors were great and taught me so much in such a short period of time. I went for the manual and even though I got discouraged half way through,they didn't let me give up and kept pushing me. I am so grateful for all the instructors there, for each one taught me some valuable knowledge that only experienced drivers know! So Thank you for that,we got'er done Boys so on to the next chapter in my life,making money lol!!!!
I told them I'd be 100% honest
Overall the experience was good, they were significantly cheaper than other options around me, and I got my CDL. I will say there was a lack of communication from Tony, their recruiter. They also did not make the overall pathway from start to finish clear. I wasn't informed that I needed to come into the Eugene office for my drug test, until the day of when I was at work and had to leave in the middle of the afternoon to take it. I wish there had been a heads up about that, or the possibility of scheduling it. Other than that Tony was helpful and pleasant to work with. I didn't have much interaction with him, I did my online portion on my own instead of spending a week in the classroom. When you get to the yard portion, you'll meet the Tim's. Instructor Tim Chambers(Little Tim), and lead instructor Tim Mcdonald(Big Tim). Tim Mcdonald, he definitely embodies his rock and roll background, he can be abrasive, loud, and intimidating at times. He genuinely cares about his students, but he coaches by telling you what to do, instead of coaching you how to do it. With that being said I did learn a lot from him, and I did appreciate how he cares about his students, and he is very proud of his pass rate for testing. The Eugene location has maybe one student a month that doesn't pass their test on the first try. This is because they will not submit you to test if you are not ready. Tim Chambers, he is quieter, more soft spoken, and takes more of a coaching approach. He was a phenomenal instructor for me, impart due to coaching works better for me than telling me what to do and expecting me to know how to do it. He also cares very much about the students, he wants to see you succeed, and he does his best to get the students there. My overall experience was good, nowhere you go is gonna be perfect. This was the right school for me, they were about $4500, when the surrounding schools were about $6200. They made it clear they cared about me, and every other student, and they helped me get my CDL. I would recommend this school, and the best advice I can give future students would be to ask questions, listen to what they say, take the best from both instructors, and realize you'll get out what you put into your schooling.
My Review on my experience
My experience was great. The Instructor was very knowledgeable and patient. The in class teachers were great and always here to help you. The driving instructor was probably the best teacher I have ever had I appreciate everything he did to help me get my CDL. Thank you 160 Driving Academy.
5 star school
I want to give a shout out to Rob and Hank my two instructors they were both great and I appreciate everything they did for me I came out of that school with some knowledge and the confidence to start my life long career by the wheel I can’t thank these two guys enough they are two of the most amazing talented men and I hope they know their time wasn’t wasted
Instructors were impeccable
Instructor Donna and instructor doug were incredibly helpful and insightful throughout the entire course. Extremely grateful that I had them teaching me. Their professional help sent my confidence through the roof and helped me pass my test with no trouble.
Amazing Experience
I had an amazing experience at 160, it was quick and easy. They make sure to provide the students with everything needed to pass the exams both training and materials. Took their time to answer questions to make sure the material and tasks were understood. Would definitely recommend!
You're the best around...
...Nothing's ever gonna keep you down. I was sold when I had my entrance interview. That energy continued throughout the classroom week until the day I graduated. I was well prepared for the permit test and the pretrip, skills and driving test at the end. If anyone asks I'm recommending 160 Driving Academy.
Thank you Faith!
Thank you Faith for all your support, encouragement, and helping us students connect the dots!
