    91eclipse215:

    are you a company driver or are you doing the lease purchase program??

    I just got hired by PGT and I'm leaving on the 19th of this month for orientation.

    I'm wondering if you had any advice on which path to take with this company

    does anyone know if PGT does hair follicle tests. Last time (2 years ago) I had one of these, I had shaved my head and they plucked a hair out of my arm pit, which later got infected. If so I would rather grow my hair out instead of that happening again. Also what is their pay rate and hometime.

    Any PGT drivers from Oklahoma? Contacted them recently and they stated they do hire in my area. Any information would be greatly appreciated. PGT seems to generally have a good reputation amongst drivers.

    I got home from school (drivers and college) and there was a note on the table that PGT called me. Thought it was weird because I didn't put my home number on any apps. But after looking at the company webpage and reviews of the company. It sounds really good.
    I am located just north of Detroit, MI so I was just wonding if anyone knows about hometime being farther from PA than others? And what the pay is/how the pay is figured "paid by load or miles"?

    Hello,

    My husband is looking at PGT and I am helping him with someone background investigation while he is in school.

    What information can you tell me about PGT?

    What is your average pay a week? (sorry to get personal)

    Can they get you home more than every other weekend? We live just outside of Baltimore and with the terminal being close we hope that he would be able to be in town more often for resets of just passing through.

    What is company climate like?

    Do you like working there?
