160 Driving Academy of Dayton

"Rekwon was great with getting me scheduled and started in the school and was awesome with responding back to you via text/email made it very smooth, the yard was a terrible experience, the trucks were always broken down and they had one running auto truck with several issues like power steering. They will make you practice in the broken trucks because that's all you can do. The instructors were okay, Deb was great and hands on when it came to driving on the road. The other instructor Bob you never know what your going to get with the guy, walks around with a chip on his shoulder, has a old school way of thinking, he's one of those guys who talks the loudest in the room but won't do squat(I wouldn't say he's a megalomaniac but he's pretty darn close) I will say he can be a good instructor when teaching the maneuver on rare occasions.I was lucky to get 2 TURNS(usually 1) on practicing manuverbility a day an essential part of passing your exam. Instructor would give up on students send people home for voicing there frustration, my 120 hrs on the yard was mainly spent doing nothing but sitting my last week I got 10 mins in the truck a day for manuverbility and the rest was just standing around. The instructors were mediocre when it came to knowledge of passing the test any questions you had you were told "we got to ask the examiner" then never tell you. They had favoritism they would give people 8 hrs plus and forward it and then send them home then made me come in for 5 weeks because I had 30 mins of yard time left and then when u make it up you don't even get a chance to do anything because they have 10 plus students and 1 truck. Your better off spending your money else where and not at 160."

"Awsome experience!! Tons of knowledge between the instructors. Went from working at a steel mill to getting my CDL in 4 weeks later, 1 n done! Deb brings so much to the table in her ways of teaching you the little tips n tricks, fine tuning and over all experience! Bob did an awsome job to. Let's you try different ways of doing things as long as your moving forward in your learning curve! Great over all experience from beginning to end, highly recommended!"

"Kendra was great .very direct. Rekwon is a busy guy but does his best to get back with you in a timely manner. Bob is a coin flip some days he's great some days he will get on your nerves . Overall takes a long time to complete the program so if you have 2 months it's a great option."

"Fantastic school to go to, Big shout out to Rekwon, Liz, Kendra, Deb and Josh, they were great to work with and all have fantastic Personalities. The Instructors work hard to keep you safe and make sure you're being safe behind the wheel, as long as you listen to them and trust what they tell you you will do just fine.
