160 Driving Academy is the largest commercial diving license (CDL) training school in the country — 14 years strong, 90+ locations across 32 states, and roughly 20,000 students earning their commercial driver’s license with us every year.
We focus on first-time pass rates and driver safety because we take the work personally.
Behind every one of those graduates is a working adult who chose to bet on themselves — a parent looking for stable income, a veteran starting a second career, a worker pivoting out of an industry that is no longer hiring. They picked up the phone, called us, and someone on the other end of the line treated their question like it mattered.
Our dedicated Student Success Team walks with those students from paid tuition to a CDL in hand and helping them find a job.
Behind the student success team is a large 1000+ truck operation training for today’s workforce within in our own private yards, or through partnering with local community colleges to power their CDL programs. Above all - we drive job placement opportunities through our vast network of commercial carriers.
