PGT Trucking

Hey catfish, try to keep us up to speed on PGT. I'm taking a good look at them myself. Thanks and good luck.

 

"steel toes" aren't mandatory thru pgt. most steel mills we go to require steel toes, long shirts, long pants, hard hat and safety glasses. pgt doesn't say nothing about what we wear (except at the mills). know a trainer that wears tank tops. alot of us drivers wear shorts and sneakers/hikers. about the only time something would be said is if you are wearing a tee shirt that was vulgar or might be construed as offensive.

a few require the arm guards (nucor) and those places do supply them for you. none of the mills have actually checked that you are wearing steel toes. so long as you aren't wearing flip flops they don't pay to close attention.

got a message about one mill now requiring metatarsal guards. won't be going to that mill any time soon lol

don't know what the deal was with her husband having to find his own ride. pgt either sends you on the "dog" (if is close by) or they fly you to the truck. or they will "discover" one in the monaca yard.

They had already bought me a ticket to alabama to get my truck. they should have asked first. "good lord" didn't give this old dog wings.. wasn't flying no where and didn't. happy they managed to use ticket for someone else though

 

Trying to keep this thread alive..... I'm way interested in PGT and, trying to stay current on info from company drivers.

Thanks and stay safe.....

 

o know i foundi t odd that he had to find his own ride . but he did . he was also told steel toes a must and long sleeves in the mills . he ran nto another driver the other night wearing shorts an he said i wonder if we can do that . idk tho . altho good company for sure glad we chose them .

 

Dunno about his own ride is strange. Yeah i was told steel toes and a hard hat when i went for orientation. Get there and they give you one. As for the steel toes, i took them with me, first trip home they went in a corner. Hate the durn things. Have never yet been asked at a mill to prove im wearing any. Long sleecves definately, a cple want arm guards over that. Talk about extra hot sheesh

 

Tried to catch up to catfish at monaca, bur i always got in too late. Everyone was already gone

 

So catfish whered ya go? Should have already got your truck and been home. T-rix what ya want to know. Can and have answered most questions here. My answers will be the same as a recruiters (friend of mine just found that out lol)) . Won't lie to you none. Still love the company. They got me up north to see my grandbaby, and have had me home the last 3 weekends. Without having to ask i might add. On my 6th load since sunday and getting my 7th in morning. Gotta love it lol

Ok, stupid question: on their website for the application it asks "what position are you applying for", as a recent graduate and no experience would I choose company driver or student? I want to make sure "student" doesn't mean I'm looking to be a student/get my CDL, since I already have my Class A.

 

you would apply as driver feel free to email me if you have any more questions
or my phone # you can call me where you live would be a good spot
