Driver Finishing refers to the training a driver receives after graduating and earning their CDL. This is primarily done by the employer, the trucking company, who is polishing the drivers skills that enable them to drive solo in the truck. Many times this training requires instruction of company specific policies and procedures. PTDI's Driver Finishing certification standards are structured to allow the flexibility for trucking companies to build their own rules into the training.
