    I would definitely go with PGT. I just attended PGT's orientation and they are just about the best company. They are very good with the training with the coils and other steel. They are a company based just north of Pittsburgh. They basically go east of the Mississippi and Texas. They are very stingy about safety. If you do it wrong they will let you know and show you the right way. They give you hands on training with practice loads, then go out with a trainer. If you ask me they are top notch and one of the best companies out there.

    I would go with PGT any day over TMC but maverick would be a better company in my opinion.

    I'm planning on being at the Nov 8th orientation for PGT. My current co driver may be coming also if he gets approved.
