About 160 Driving Academy

160 Driving Academy Long Beach serves the greater Los Angeles/Long Beach metropolitan area, one of the busiest freight markets in North America. The Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles together form the largest container port complex in the Western Hemisphere, generating massive demand for Class A CDL-licensed drayage and intermodal drivers. Students in this market benefit from proximity to hundreds of trucking companies and logistics operators seeking trained commercial drivers. The program follows the national 160-hour curriculum: 40 hours of classroom instruction and 120 hours of supervised behind-the-wheel training, completed in four weeks.
