PGT Trucking

they have orientation for company drivers in monaca. has been some talk about starting orientation in gary indiana. ic's i have heard are going to be going to birmingham al for orientation.

idle policy they prefer you to have 25% or less idle time. pgt pays for idle aire at participating truck stops

 

how's the hotel they use or is it a bunkhouse during orientation?

 

Do they run in the northeast a lot.And how long is the training process,and whats it like.

 

hotel isn't too bad. it ain't the ritz carlton... but it isn't a flea bag either. least the one in monaca.

i haven't seen alot of the north east. presuming your northeast is like the rest of the countries and stops at NYC. see alot of philly, baltimore and trenton though.

training isn't nothing. 4 days orientation. paid. depending on your driving experience and/ or flat bed experience. you may just go out 2 or 3 days with a local driver (exp flat bed hauler) or you may go out with a trainer 1 to 2 weeks. paid. ( little to no experience as a driver)

 

are steel toe boots mandatory?

 

hi all my hubs drivers for pgt . hes been with them since april 11 . was worried that they had made huge promises and wouldnt follow thru . they were shakey to start out but after the 1st few weeks things mellowed out and lets just say they followed thru . the pay is good the hometime is good and we can finally live and still pay our bills . the money is right the truck s nice and he has a nice dispatcher .

 

he had to go to pa for training 2 weeks up there then home then he had to find own ride to chicago yard to pick up truck . which was pain in butt . but we got him there . after that it was all good . the only complaint i have w them and its in the payroll department was they cudnt get ourdp set up w the bank for months . so getten his pay was hard . but now all good. they are saftey minded all the way and always wanting ur logs transflowed in almost daily . good company for sure !!!!

 

ugh sorry also yep the idle thing we got a letter and he was in top 7 of the fuel savers thing . i said thats cause u sit and sweat and the others run the truck while idlen .

 

steal toes a must and jeans and long sleeve shirts a must . they are going to be giving the drivers arm guards now . which is a plus now . hard hat and saftey glasses .

 

he had to find his own way to chicago to pick up truck? that's got me concerned about orientation on the 1st.
