About 160 Driving Academy
160 Driving Academy Minneapolis serves the Twin Cities metro from its campus in the south metro suburb of Eagan, Minnesota. The location launched in late 2022 and has quickly become a go-to CDL training option for Minnesota residents who want to stay local — students commute daily and return home each evening rather than staying in an out-of-state residential program. The 4-week, 160-hour curriculum covers 40 hours of classroom theory and 120 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction on local and interstate roads. The Minneapolis campus is FMCSA ELDT-compliant and participates in national employer partnership programs, including an Amazon Career Choice event that helped graduates connect directly with logistics employers in the region. Tuition runs $4,000-$7,000 with employer reimbursement available for qualifying students, and the school reports that a large majority of students qualify for company-sponsored tuition covering all or most of their training costs. Instruction follows a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio, giving each student meaningful one-on-one time behind the wheel. Programs available include Class A CDL training, CDL refresher courses, free ELDT theory courses, and hazmat certification. Job placement assistance connects graduates with regional and national carriers for OTR, regional, and local driving positions. Founded in 2012 with 140+ locations nationally, 160 Driving Academy brings a proven curriculum to the Minneapolis market. Ideal for Twin Cities residents looking to enter commercial trucking in under a month without relocating.
