    I didn't think PGT took student drivers. Huh..guess I learned something. I met a few drivers who run with PGT since I don't live to far from the Monaca, PA terminal. I don't know about the particular account your asking about but the drivers I talked to seemed to be happy overall with PGT. Of the guys I talked to, the ones that get home on weekends don't always get a full 48 hours. You may get home Friday night and leave Sunday afternoon at times or Sunday night but that it typical. Unless it is specified, you pretty much are only guaranteed your 34 hour reset then if there is a load to go, your gone.

    Hopefully this kind of helps you.

    Good luck!
