yea slept in truck with a trainer my trainer got me home every weekend and picked me up on Mondays, but I left pgt I would deadhead 300 miles sometimes....to pick up a load and being on percentage that was no good...I honestly was making 350 to 450 maybe a week as for paychecks....my biggest check was my signon bonus don't get me wrong some guys who stay out make a lot but as far as me I was told id be regional which to them is all over so I didn't make very much ....but would go back for their lease....their lease is excellent and they treat their drivers excellent! I would go back if I could get on a dedicated route, or make a little more....

This not good. I have been solo hauling steel for 4 months and average about 4400 revenue to the truck. My highest was 6000. There are weeks that get hung up for all the normal trucking industry reasons but my lowest full week was still over 3500. Some say freight is slow at the moment but I still make a good living. Tdgraham, I cannot relate to your experience.

I replyed... 650 to 850 atleast a week....only time i made 700 was with the 500 sign on bonus smh....

Thanks i actually left there last month. I put a app in at builders transportation....they seem be a good flatbed carrier and great pay and hometime. Now pgt is not a bad company at all i would go back for their lease.....but i just had a bad experience on the company side of things....

With PGT do they have a Northeast regional run? Or is that the wallboard division. I'm out of Syracuse, NY and run with a Northeast regional dry van company now and am home every weekend. Is this possible with PGT?
