About 160 Driving Academy
160 Driving Academy in Newark, NJ sits at 114 Ferry Street in the Ironbound neighborhood, putting it right in one of the region's most transit-accessible corridors. As part of the 140+ location national network founded in 2012, this campus delivers the same four-week Class A CDL program that has produced thousands of licensed drivers nationwide. Training is 160 hours total — 40 in the classroom and 120 behind the wheel. The four-to-one student-to-instructor ratio keeps the experience hands-on. All instruction is FMCSA ELDT-compliant, satisfying the federal Entry Level Driver Training mandate. Tuition runs $4,000–$7,000 with employer reimbursement and payment plans available. Many students graduate with a job offer already in hand through the school's carrier placement network, which covers the Newark/NYC metro and national routes. For NJ-based drivers, this location avoids the cost and hassle of travelling out of state for training. Graduates leave with a Class A CDL and access to one of the most freight-dense markets in the country.
