    Ok. I run northeast and don't see too many PGT trucks up this way. Have seen a few out in mass, nh, and maine but not much down in jersey. I run mostly jersey pa and md some delaware and virginia all the way up to maine and out to chicago. Love the northeast, ik bot many people do but I'm used to it. Want to do flatbed but stay in the northeast

    Hey drivers, old thread but wanted to update my end of things. Still at PGT hauling mostly steel in midwest to east coast. I do my job and try to make life easy for my FM and they do right by me. Not perfect i.e. company driver means company rules but still glad I chose PGT. First company and no reason to leave.

    Hey, how you guys get paid, percentage or cent per mile?
    Average miles for the week?
    Hometime?
    Trucks, auto or manual?

    PGT pays percentage of truck revenue. Check with recruiting about current rates based on experience.
    My weekly miles can swing from 1600 to 2600 but this does not matter with percentage pay.
    I am home every weekend I want to be home except for very rare and unusual circumstances.
    All new trucks from 2017 year model and on are automated but all prior are 10 spd manuals.
