Full Job Description

About the Role

160 Driving Academy is the largest CDL training school in the country — 14 years strong, 90+ locations across 32 states, training roughly 20,000 students a year with an overall 88% average first-time pass rate. Our instructors are why.As a CDL Class A Instructor Trainer, you teach students from their first pre-trip inspection to the day they pass their CDL exam — in the yard, and behind the wheel.
You will be based at a designated yard, working alongside a team of instructors and a Lead Instructor. From time to time, you may be asked to fill in at other regional yards when coverage is needed. Keeping your yard clean and presentable — light upkeep such as litter pickup, basic painting, and general tidiness — is part of the role.
This is local, hands-on work for experienced Class A drivers ready to trade the long-haul life for a role that keeps you home every night and pays you for outcomes that matter.

Our Compensation

Opportunity for annual merit increases to hourly wage based on business performance.
Monthly bonus pool payout: When your yard averages an 80% first-time pass rate, every first-time pass adds $100 to a shared pool, split across the team and paid monthly. Full bonus eligibility requires a 4.7/5 average student rating.
$100 accident-free bonus for top 15 yards. Additional paid hours for placement fairs and truck care during scheduled downtime.

Our Schedule

Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM or 8:00 AM - 4:30PM for most yards.
Higher volume yards sometimes run seven days a week, ten hours per day — opening alternative shifts including some four-day work weeks with three days off.
Occasional fill in at another regional yard. There is a possibility to stay over in a hotel. Per diem paid, and mileage is paid if you are using your own vehicle.
Students depend on their instructors being present. Reliable, on-time attendance is core to the role.

What You Will Do At 160 Driving Academy

Teach Class A driving skills using hands-on training in outdoor yards on automatic and manual transmissions.
Guide students step-by-step through pre-trip inspections, yard maneuvers, and on-road driving.
Prepare students to pass CDL testing standards on the first attempt.
Track student attendance and progress; provide additional support when needed.
Maintain accurate training records, evaluations, and documentation.
Reporting of all incidents and accidents to your lead and corporate in a timely manner.
Work closely with fellow instructors and your Lead Instructor to deliver a consistent student experience and follow our defined curriculum.
Help keep the yard and building clean and presentable
Cover for other instructors at nearby regional yards in certain emergencies.
90-day probationary period to ensure adherence to safety, compliance and curriculum.
Assist with the transfer of trucks to repair operations and neighboring yards for use.
Student-centric approach to teaching with ability to exhibit patience and professionalism.
Ability to climb in/out of a tractor cab, sit and stand for extended periods, and demonstrate maneuvers.
Additional requirements that apply specific to the role may be requested.

Our Benefits

Medical and dental (shared expense).
Paid vacation: 1 week to start, 2 weeks after year 1, 3 weeks after year 2.
8-hour paid day off for a full year of perfect attendance.
Paid day off for your birthday after 1 year of service (8 hours floating holiday)
$3,000 relocation benefit for moving to our locations 100+ miles away.
$500 referral bonus per instructor hire.
Branded gear (vests, hats, flashlights, gauges) and access to yard laptops.
Career path: Yard Instructor ? Assistant Lead Instructor ? Lead Instructor ? Regional Manager.
