Checking the CSA scores, verifies, to me, I made the right choice NOT to stick around and hope: PGT CSA Scores -
If you read the entire Web page that doesnt really mean anything. CSA is a bunch of crap. If you look at just about any carrier with a good amount of trucks they probably have a higher score than that. Just remember if YOU cross your T's and dot your I's youll be fine.
lonelyswmtrucker Thanks this. -
As is viewed by the CSA scores that I link to, automatic brake adjusters, brake/hose tubing securement, Tractor/Trailer combination ABS systems inoperative, suspension parts, headlight glazing, retro reflective sheeting, oil and grease leaks..... these are all company maintenance issues that either aren't being enforced by the company executives, mechanics and/or drivers. These things don't just happen because of one person overlooking it, they happen because of many people overlooking it...hence the "culture" aspect. Since I have driven for a mega carrier, I'm well aware of their "priorities" when they talk safety to you, and their response to you when you do bring it up to them, like the response I got from the tester when I informed them of the problems. (Oh, just grab another one)
I found them lacking ...because I do cross the t's and dot the i's.
Good LuckLast edited: Aug 15, 2012

ok you can say what you want about pgt but ill say from experience
been there 9 years and done #### well with them my only regret is i didnt go with them in the 80s
im a o/o make #### good money and always home on weekend. they have lots of work and want
you to be happy . most of the csa scores are from fleet owners who dont keep up thier trucks
which has come to a head they will get rid of you if you dont stay legalCAXPT Thanks this. -
Like I said doesnt mean much about the carrier. They are high in one or two of the five basics? Who isnt.
CAXPT Thanks this. -
company driver or o/o,interested in a lease purchase?

CAXPT Thanks this. -
Pgt is percent. 75% of line haul 100% fuel surcharge. I believe they changed the trailer rent to 5%

Thanks.
