Pgt trucking

I will be working for PGT very soon. And so I tried to find any info in this forum about it, and found almost nothing. So, I found somewhere else and decided to add some info here to those that might need to read about PGT. Very soon I will be sharing my own experience. Read what drivers are talking about PGT and add your own experience if you are one of PGT's Driver/Employee:

01) - Pretty good benefits packageTruck Driver/Laborer (Former Employee), PA – December 9, 2013
Pros: supportive drivers and operetional management
The fleet manegers and mechanics guys so nice & cooperative. Safety is priority one. Salary above average pretty good benefits package. I like my team, and they cared for me (and my family's) well being.

02) - Great benefits, great work environment!Truck Driver (Former Employee), Pittsburgh, PA – November 4, 2013
Pros: compensation, people you work with are not only professional but also accommodating at all times.
Cons: no routes where i'm living now.
One of the best company to work for. Compensation is great, I got what they promised me from day 1. Too bad I had to shift to another company coz of personal reasons. But I would definitely recommend this company to drivers out there who are after good compensation, career growth and professional environment.

03) - Low morale.Hard to advance.Claims Manager in the Risk Department (Former Employee), Monaca,Pa – August 2, 2013
Diffcult place to work.Low pay.Do not pay enough for the hours worked.
Poor managers with poor management skills.Micro management.

04) - I was a field recruiter for an over the road trucking company.Manager/Recruiter (Former Employee), Birmingham, AL – January 24, 2013
I traveled the southeastern United States recruiting truck drivers. When I was not travelling, I was on the phone or internet looking for drivers.
Management was very demanding and not cooperative.
Hardest part of the job was that it was a sales position.

05) Just a Driver
Driver (Former Employee), Monaca, PA – November 28, 2012
Pros: traveling
Cons: home sick
PGT is a great company to work at for anyone that likes to stay close to home, albeit Eastern United States only. If not assigned a conastoga or covered wagon trailer, get ready to work out, as most loads will be tarped and most tarps weigh between 75 and 100 lbs.

06) - Great people to work with all around, wether a new driver or an experienced one.
Driver (Former Employee), Monaca, PA – March 22, 2012

Enjoyed everything about PGT. From the Owner to the management to the drivers.


07) - long days and hard work
local flat bed driver (Former Employee), Monaca, PA – July 22, 2013

09) - Excellent Company to Work For

Truck Driver (Current Employee)
Monaca, PA

I have been working at PGT Trucking full-time for more than a year
Pros – Great new equipment and if willing to work hard, the pay is there. Treat their drivers very well and never have any major problems.
Cons – Some dispatchers can be hard to see eye to eye with, but if a problem arises, they have no problem immediately moving you to another dispatchers board to quell any problems.
Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the great work that you guys do.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
