    I live in the Houston,Tx area and so far ive contacted PGT and McElroy. PGT will have a terminal opening up Aug1 and Mtl has one in Ennis,TX. Both say home weekends, PGT pays by the load, MTL by the mile. I have flatbed experiance so both offered up a little extra pay.

    Any reason to pick one over the other? Ive read the various threads on here for both, both seem decent to work for. Just looking to make the right decision. Thanks for any help.

    Ive hauled lumber alot, no big deal. PGT says they dont tarp a whole lot. Coils tarped, pipe untarped most of the time.

    must be the only 2013 that they have. there equ. is always dirty. old trailers. unmatched tires. parts flapping in the wind. guess that also says something about there drivers.

    Actually there is only about a 3 month wait for a new driver to go from an old truck to a brand new one, and they now have nearly 700 drivers, but I guess it depends on where you run, I saw over 30 McElroy trucks today, only one was an older truck and none of them looked as you described.
