About 160 Driving Academy
160 Driving Academy in Portland, Oregon is located at 16140 SE 82nd Dr. in Clackamas (97015), just southeast of Portland proper. This location is a member of the Oregon Trucking Associations and is part of 160 Driving Academy's 90+ location national network. The school runs a 4-week Class A CDL program with 40 hours of classroom instruction and 120 hours of behind-the-wheel training, with a 1:4 instructor-to-student ratio. Students train on local Portland-area roads and interstates and return home each night — no relocation required. The Portland campus is FMCSA-registered and Oregon state-licensed. Evening and weekend class options are available for students with daytime work or family obligations, making this one of the more schedule-flexible locations in the network. Tuition sponsorship from major carrier partners (Swift, Schneider, H.O. Wolding) can cover 100% of costs for eligible students willing to commit to a post-graduation employment contract. Direct-pay tuition typically ranges from $3,795–$7,000, with WIOA grants and Edly income-share agreements as additional financing options. The Portland location draws strong feedback for its experienced instructors and patient teaching approach. Google reviews highlight dedicated staff who focus on helping students pass on the first attempt. However, some historical reviews flagged overbooking concerns and limited driving time per student at certain periods — worth asking about current class sizes before enrolling. Job placement assistance is integrated into the program, connecting students with carrier partners prior to graduation. Graduates can expect average starting salaries of approximately $55,990. Free ELDT theory courses are included with behind-the-wheel enrollment, and Hazmat endorsement training is also available.
