Professional Driver Institute

(PDI) Founded by President Paul Doyle in November 1993, PDI is headquartered in Rochester , New York . PDI was designed to address the need in the Upstate New York area for high quality and industry-driven commercial driver training. The name was derived from its objective - to graduate only PROFESSIONAL DRIVERS. Professional in the way they act, react, talk, dress, handle situations, the way they approach their profession as a whole, and of course, their skill level. PDI will only admit into the program those individuals that have a similar objective.
