    Ive been here 2 years now and I hate this place, but ive hated every driving job ive ever had so that dosnt mean much. What does mean something though is that I hate it here less than ive hated it anywhere else ive been and half of my career was local and teamster. People's experiences here seem to vary alot based on your home terminal, dispatcher, and your own work ethic. Ive met guys rolling in bank and running hard, guys semi retired with cake routes, guys complaining they make $200 or less a day. And guys complaining they are out for 2.5 weeks at a time. Theres alot of variance and I dont know exactly which drives the various details. Personally I bring home more here than I have at all bit 1 previous employer. Im typically home every week and of the very few i wasn't, most of them were because I didnt want to or didnt really feel like it ( yeah im weird n sometimes I hide in my truck to get to relax lol). My dispatcher is awesome, they seem to be very skilled at finding me higher value freight and whenever I bump into any issue at all they are often more proactive than even I am in solving it. The flipside however is that im often doing harder loads and putting in more effort than alot of other drivers ive met. As for equipment, you'll get handed a late model truck but its bare bones spec. The trailers are often used and abused, whenever I grab a new one its not is there something wrong, but instead is what is wrong. Its usually minor and you can do a quick fix n keep it moving while billing the company for used parts n bits, if its something bigger ive never been asked to just roll it. They have no problem letting a load get delayed if it protects them from csa violations and that says alot, just wish more of my peers also cared. They also supply new hires with a thorough but basic set of safety and securment equipment. For me it was always hard asking for worn out items to get replaced, was often met with its not available. Found out the trick was to go get it yourself, and they have no problem at all reimbirsing you for it. The company also has safety managers spot checking drivers at some of their more valued customers. Ive never seen anyone actually written up or punished from this, its typically just them pointing out something basic you should have alresdy handled. However instead of cooking you they just guide you so its cool but annoying that its even necessary, and yes when ive seen them do this it was necessary and guys were lucky I wasn't the boss. Overall its a mega and it feels like a mega, the pay is decent but not at the rate you'd wanna brag, the equipment kinda sucks but you wont be pressured to run illegal, hometime is again not great but acceptable and can be more or less depending on your specific scenario. Pgt is by far no land of milk and honey but its aight, especially for a newer driver, he'll im not planning to quit yet.

    PGT Trucking paying drivers only 27% of tarp charges — am I being robbed? I’m a company driver at PGT Trucking and just realized how badly I’m getting screwed on tarp pay. I need the trucking community’s eyes on this. The Math: · PGT charges shippers $50–$100 for tarping · On my settlements, they pay me only 27% of that amount · Example: $50 tarp charge → I get $13.50, PGT keeps $36.50 My settlements show (actual lines): \`\`\` TRAP CHARGE (PAY DRIV): $50.00 PAY RATE: .270 PCT MY PAY: $13.50 \`\`\` I’m doing 100% of the physical tarp labor—lifting 80–120 lb tarps, climbing, securing—while PGT pockets 73% of the tarp revenue for doing nothing. Questions for drivers: 1. Is this normal at other carriers? 2. What’s your tarp pay structure? (Percentage vs. flat fee) 3. Has anyone successfully fought this at PGT or another mega-carrier? 4. Which flatbed carriers actually pay 100% of tarp/accessorial pay to the driver? Additional context: · I’m on a “27% of all revenue” pay plan (line-haul AND accessorials) · This feels like wage theft disguised as a “percentage plan”

    PGT is a company that makes up the rules as they go. They look for anyway to get over on their drivers. The equipment sucks. And most of the trailers are old.

    PGT Trucking is a known company. You'll be fine. Percentage pay is ok at a reputable company. If a company offers benefits and retirement accounts like a 401k, it's more than likely a reputable company.

    is being paid percentage per load good or bad? I'm a fresh grad and I got my CDL A back in February. Originally I was gonna work for this one company but then things fell through so I've been job searching for the better part of 3 months and been really getting DESPERATE (though not working for Swift or Western Express desperate). Had a promising interview for this regional dedicated flatbed position at a place called PGT Trucking but instead of hourly or by the mile its "percentage per load" which from what I understand means if I haul 1000$ worth of wood planks or something I get paid 250$ or thereabouts and the percentage goes up as I stay with the company longer. Even though my mom knows jack shit about trucking she thinks it sounds sketchy. Just when its my turn to be an adult the labor market including trucking goes to hell in a handbasket so it's this or my current dead end job.

    It is what you make of it. I've seen a lot of bad reviews and for the most part I can say that it's trucking, you have your good and your bad but PGT so far as you have to do me dirty. I personally don't think they ask to much. Just be safe and do your job paychecks are always on time and so far fair r.

    Worked in Bristol CT for Navarro. The company is so bad they don't even tell people their real name so you can't look up their reviews. It's sickening. The company will rob you of time, effort and money. You drive 500 miles and spend all that time away for $119. Something is wrong with that. Talk to the owner and he acts as if he gave you life.

    Garbage company. Garbage owners. Garbage pay. This company structure is what is wrong with America. They use uneducated and people that don't have many other options for cheap labor and abuse them to the maximum and leave them with just enough money to eat while the executives stuff their bank accounts with cash. They lie to their employees about the load prices to keep more money for themselves. Should be investigated and brought to trial.

    This company will send you 466 miles for $119. They will make you leave your house on Sunday instead of Monday morning just so you can do extra dumb stuff. Then they will turn around and think they doing you favor. This company does not pay empty miles then have the nerves to send you miles away to your next load. Worst company I ever work for
