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.👍👍

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.

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!

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 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?

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.
