Description

More Than A Job. A Career That Changes Lives.

160 Driving Academy is the largest CDL training school in the country — 14 years strong, 90+ locations across 32 states, and roughly 20,000 students earning their commercial driver’s license with us every year. We graduate at an 88% first-time pass rate because we take the work personally. Behind every one of those graduates is a working adult who chose to bet on themselves: a parent looking for stable income, a veteran starting a second career, a worker pivoting out of an industry that was no longer hiring. They picked up the phone, called us, and someone on the other end of the line treated their question like it mattered.

That someone is you. As a Student Success Advisor, you take the handoff the moment a student pays tuition and you walk with them all the way to graduation, the testing site, and a job offer. The way you guide, remind, troubleshoot, and encourage is the difference between a student who almost finished and a student with a CDL in their hand. This is professional, hands-on student support work. The pay rewards the outcomes that matter — students staying in the program and getting hired — and the company is investing heavily in the people doing it well.

Why 160 Driving Academy

We train the people America runs on. Truck drivers move the food, the medicine, the building materials, and the everyday goods that keep this country working. Helping a student finish the program and land a job is helping them step into a stable, well-paying, in-demand career — often the first one they’ve had.

Our 600+ WIOA partnerships, our work with veterans and second-chance candidates, and our reputation with carriers across 32 states all depend on what happens after a student pays tuition. The Student Success Advisor role is where that promise gets kept. If you want to do work that genuinely matters, be paid well for doing it, and be part of a company that is actively investing in its people — we want to talk.
