    I'm heading off to start with pgt trucking for orientation on mon 01/03,would like to get info on the 3 day process,and the securement training.There's not much info on pgt on the this site,if you drive for them,can u give some insite into this company good or bad.I will post to my experiences as i go through training and on the road.I'm looking foward to starting this new chapter with PGT and talking with other drivers either going to PGT or already with them. FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:biggrin_25514:
