The Best and Most Affordable CDL School | Truck Driver School |

[@thompsonfitt1014]

The Local 160 Driving Academy price was 7 grand in my neck of the woods and you had to attend during the week like a normal 8 hour class would be. Although I believe they are probably a great school I have found a couple more affordable options... Great video..! Thanks.👍👍

[@YOWTUNUP]

name it

[@darkstar4982]

Just got a call back today ! got my appointment set for next monday at the Anaheim site ! super excited been trying to find a good school to get this CDL ASAP so i can get started and make that money !!! been wanting this for a while now ! Im hella ready ! thanks for the info man!

[@darkstar4982]

by the way i know they drug test but do they do urine or hair follicle??? I quit but just want to be sure because this is a golden opportunity to me.

[@richrico5039]

Juann a.m. any word on what type of drug test ??

[@jamesallen5591]

You should have more views and subscribers. I just reached out to 160 Driving Academy. I'd rather find a way to pay up front than be owned by a mega carrier. Oh, and I just subbed and am looking into FedEx ground.

[@Driving2Thrive]

I really appreciate it James. Thanks for watching

[@jamesc3388]

Oh dang. I commented recently on one of your other videos about how I was glad I found your channel etc. and said how I'll be graduating next month from school. Juat watched this video and it so happens 160 is where I'm at school lol I'm pumped now after watching this! Thanks for all the info!

[@Driving2Thrive]

Thanks for the continued support James! What did you pay? Was it $2500 or $5000?

[@jamesc3388]

@@Driving2Thrive my total was $4125 which included the physical and the $125 permit fee. I'm in New Jersey. It seemed about average for New Jersey but after researching and speaking to several different schools I liked them the best I liked them the best. I've had a great experience with them so far and seeing your video made me even happier about my choice lol

[@jamesc3388]

I figured if mega carriers like swift used them they must be reputable. They also now have a contract with Amazon training all the new drivers for their new logistics program that they are building rapidly

[@stoptheviolence3358]

I start my training next week and I’m excited I can’t do office jobs I like to be out driving one in t even care about the money I just wanna be outside driving

Just looked at 160 driving academy so happy can’t wait for this experience

[@quankapp413]

Is this offer still goin on

[@jamesallen5591]

Update: I was on the phone with Don who is the branch manager of the nearest 160 Driving Academy near me. That's the way I'm going to go. Unfortunately, I'm about 2 months out. But I'll get there. Their class sizes are small, which I think is a good thing. As a friend of mine, who is an owner/operator said to me; the recruiters at the mega carriers are full of shit. This video changed my path. Thanks!

[@jamesallen5591]

@Alexander Toro Cruz Mine was $800 higher than that, I believe. I'd have to check my notes, though. Yeah, $4,990.

[@JARVISK600]

Thanks bro🎉

[@MrPistolwhipped66]

Thanks for the info.

Smart move

[@DangerousDeon11]

Thanks for this video. I was set on going to America truck driving school. I live in north county. The office In Escondido is where I went. They charge 2500 as well. The thing is you have to drive to riverside for the classes. For that 160 driving academy Oceanside location do they have training on site? They don’t see to have much info online about their Oceanside location. Thankfully you pulled through. It seems to be right near the VA clinic.

[@Driving2Thrive]

Yes the Oceanside location is completely on site. It is about 2 miles away from that municipal Airport off of the 76 highway.

[@DangerousDeon11]

@@Driving2Thrive shut down by the way. About 4 months ago.

[@Driving2Thrive]

No way. That’s news to me. I wonder what happened. Maybe they moved.

[@DangerousDeon11]

@@Driving2Thrive yeah they closed down I guess because of covid. I ended up going to United. I watched your videos about the contractors with FedEx. One of my classmates is teaming with her husband and she said all the stuff you said, about them being shady. How with their 3rd contractor they took the lesser of the evils. This one is still sketch pocketing their per diem but she’s still at like 37 cents on a dedicated route 6k type of route. she said the money is still good considering she was a teacher before. I called one contractor off indeed last week and he said he knew her and he seemed sketch. He was like send me a copy of your CDL etc. Wasn’t cordial, no name, sort of was like what do you want type when I called. Is your contractor good/hiring?

[@sebastiansanchez3248]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@dekifadreananto3710]

I'm interested in taking CDL Courses.. I'm outside America currently, I'm in indonesia.. My question is, can I join the training if I'm outsite America? I have more than 20 years experience in driving with Indonesian driver licence. Can I take CDL Course? If I come to America with a visitor visa, can I join the course with that visa?

[@Driving2Thrive]

I do not know any laws or requirements for foreigners. Sorry 😣

[@Driving2Thrive]

They will tell you. And any contractor can tell you as well.

[@TheBlackThaiEvent]

Thank you so much!

[@billyraeee2082]

Hey great content and value you put out about trucking....random question----So I've been browsing online for cdl schools and saw your channel. I called the 160 Academy in San Bernardino and their price is 4,503. Which Academy school did you attend and paid 2500?? Thanks in advance

[@Driving2Thrive]

Hey Billy, I went to the Oceanside, Ca location. Just last week a subscriber signed up at 160’s Anaheim location for $2500! Fight for it man. The manger can make it work.

[@basirmoosa8223]

​@@Driving2Thrive hello thanks for the information. I live in Oceanside what is their address here or name? you should make more videos while on the road. thanks again

[@usamahat-thahabi3522]

[@Driving2Thrive]

Yes sir. But double check now. Requirements changed feb 1st to get a cdl. Watch my latest video.

In the Bay Area FedEx is willing to train for cdl but you have to be locked in for 2years Idk how the raises work but starting at $25 Would you recommend?

[@Driving2Thrive]

That is actual FedEx (not a contractor) so I would recommend. I believe those are union jobs too!

[@garrieparsons2265]

That school a guarantee pass ? Or you fail it’s $2500 x 2 or how ever many times it takes you to pass ? That could work out very expensive 😂😂😂😂👍

It’s a guarantee Pass program

[@dalila4934]

Garrie Parsons : If u don't pass they will kick u out of the program , u still have to pay back , and they will cancel your license until u pay or go to court be careful who u sign !

[@geraldbrazell5853]

well damn they must of raised their prices because i start with them on the 29th i paid $4295

[@Driving2Thrive]

It is a promotional price. If I were you I would honestly try and fight for it, they may honor that discount. I know it doesn’t help much, but $4295 is also not that bad of a price compared to work make a carriers would charge you and what other schools will charge.
