About 160 Driving Academy

160 Driving Academy Tampa sits on East Fowler Avenue in Tampa, Florida, serving students across Hillsborough County and the greater Tampa Bay area. The campus delivers the full 160-hour Class A CDL program — 40 hours of classroom instruction and 120 hours of behind-the-wheel training — completed in four weeks. Tampa is one of Florida's highest-demand trucking markets, with direct access to major freight corridors serving the Port of Tampa and the I-4/I-75 interchange. The Tampa location is FMCSA ELDT-compliant and staffed by instructors consistently praised by students, including Andre, Scott, James, Terry, and Kelvin — who are specifically called out in reviews for their patience, professionalism, and ability to make training approachable for first-time CDL students. The school maintains a 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio throughout classroom and yard sessions. Tuition ranges from $4,000 to $7,000 with employer reimbursement and payment plans available. Most qualifying students receive full or partial tuition sponsorship through partner carriers. Programs offered include Class A CDL training, CDL refresher courses, free ELDT theory training, and hazmat endorsement preparation. Job placement assistance is included, connecting graduates with Florida-based and national employers. Based on reviews, Tampa graduates report completing the program in under five weeks and landing positions quickly through the school's employer network. The campus is part of the 160 Driving Academy national network, founded in 2012 and operating 140+ locations — making it a well-resourced option for Tampa Bay residents entering the trucking industry.
