PGT Trucking, a multi-service transportation firm offering flatbed, dedicated, international, and specialized services, recently recognized 46 million mile drivers, 104 safe drivers, and 24 premier professionals at their annual awards event, held at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“Every year, we honor the numerous proud professional million mile and safe drivers who play a significant role in the overall success of PGT,” said Pat Gallagher, PGT Trucking CEO. “No matter the circumstances, these drivers remain committed to delivering each load in a safe and timely manner. It is their hard work and dedication that gives PGT the reputation we have today.”
PGT’s million mile drivers have accomplished this status by driving one million miles or more without a safety incident. Safe drivers have driven for the company for more than five years but less than one million miles without a safety incident. PGT’s premier professionals are the safest and most reliable drivers in the company’s fleet, consistently maintaining superior performance levels.
For more than 20 years, PGT has recognized its million mile and safe drivers, and the Million Mile and Safe Driver Celebration is the premier event for PGT drivers, office staff, and their guests.
