About 160 Driving Academy

160 Driving Academy serves the Boston, Massachusetts market as part of its 90+ location national network. The Boston area program follows the same proven 4-week curriculum: 40 hours of classroom instruction preparing students for the CDL written exam, followed by 120 hours of hands-on behind-the-wheel training on local and interstate roads. The 1:4 instructor-to-student ratio ensures each student gets meaningful driving time and individualized coaching. Important note: As of early 2026, the Boston location is awaiting full licensing from the Massachusetts Office of Private Occupational Schools and cannot accept direct tuition payments from students at this time. Students interested in the Boston market may also consider the nearby Brockton, MA location (500 Belmont St, Brockton) which is fully operational and licensed. Prospective students should confirm current licensing status before enrolling. For students who do qualify, 160 Driving Academy partners with major carriers like Swift Transportation, Schneider, and H.O. Wolding to offer full tuition sponsorship in exchange for a post-graduation employment commitment. Students not pursuing sponsorship can expect tuition in the $3,795–$7,000 range. WIOA grants (up to 100% coverage for qualifying individuals) and Edly income-share agreements are available for those seeking alternatives to carrier sponsorship. The school reports a 95% graduation rate and 5.0/5 average rating across thousands of student reviews nationally. Job placement assistance is integrated into the program, with staff helping students connect with carrier partners before graduation. Average starting salaries for CDL Class A drivers run approximately $55,990 annually.
