160 Driving Academy

I know they go through instructors here like underwear. They’re always advertising, basically begging for people interested in doing it. They are actually literally right down the street from me. The office is about 1/2 mile to the east and where they do the driving/training is a mile to the west. I drive by where they train every day, looks like a work release program, the clientele. The instructors look no better. Class probably goes through 2 cartons of cigarettes a day

Heard the micromanagement and low pay is the problem keeping instructors.

 

160 has an excellent reputation. There's also one in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.

Does the program offer free tuition or you have to pay?

 

Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, WI is the best school I have had the experience in working with..

 

Don Hummer Trucking hires new grad from there I think.

 

I have heard good things about them as well. I think they are even doing a lot of the training for roehl now.

OP, if you want something closer to home there is that school in Sun Prairie. I don’t know much about it but it’s right there on 151, and they even offer part time classes. I am originally from Janesville so kinda from your neck of the woods.

 

Sun Prairie does hair follicle drug test. That's the only cdl school I know of that does drug test.

 

Sun Prairie was the worst school back in the day.. I have no idea if they have ever done anything to help that... but I personally would really do some research on them before stepping one wet foot in their door.
