PGT Monaca, pa Pat Gallagher trucking

OK, look...being with them as an IC is understandable after you have experience....my main point is they were never known to be very good at securement training or safety issues which in my mind for a newbie starting out is far more important than making miles. The OP is a new non-experienced want to be flatbedder so I'm saying IMO it's far better to go with a starter company who is going to stress securement and safety as a top priority right off the bat, plus getting experience on a lot of various load types especially the real ugly ones......I'm sure you just didn't pop out of the womb knowing everything there is to know about setting the load, dunnage, bridging, strapping, chaining, padding, blanketing and tarping.......so I'm saying it's best for a newbie to go somewhere for a couple of years to get that experience and then if you want to make a move then you are gonna be a lot more comfortable knowing you can handle just about anything they throw at you. I've just seen way too many PGT trucks, especially the coil haulers flipped over and worse......and not just around Beaver County........now granted yes this was 10+ years ago when it seemed to be really bad so if they have changed their ways since then, good for them......but that is how they were perceived when I moved away.


Now something much more important.........HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!!!

Hoping BigMan777 is still floating around and occasionally checking in.

Many of you know me around here, God knows I've been a member long enough. I let my Commercial Endorsement go last year, cause I'm just too blasted lazy to take my DOT Phys. form up to the DOT office for appropriate filing. Since then I landed a position as an independent contractor doing merchandising in my local area. Yeah....that was a bust. Just over $2,000 in six months, and my expenses were around $3,000 to earn it. Too big an area to cover, too few contracts to cover expenses. And since I had to pay my fuel, vehicle maintenance, communication and paperwork expense, so forth and so on.....I gave up on the whole deal.

So I'm looking into funding for a CDL school thing to get the license back and head back out on that ol' big road. Only interested in going flatbed, no more vans for me. PGT is at the top of my list of companies I'd like to run for, since they are (sorta) local for me. I'm only about 2 hours north of the headquarters, ha ha....

For BigMan, do you know anything about the training program? Is it a set number of weeks, or drive hours? Are there any trainers I should try to get in with? Any who should be avoided at all costs? Do the trainers typically run team with trainees? Also, is Miss Rhonda Yost still working there? Or do I have to go through the Recruitment line, and if so are these actual PGT employees or a third party recruiting firm?

Thanks in advance to BigMan, or anyone else who provides answers.
