/PRNewswire/ -- PGT Trucking Inc., a multi-service transportation
firm offering flatbed, dedicated, international and specialized
services, recognized 46 Million Mile Drivers, 104 Safe Drivers and
24 Premier Professionals at their annual awards event, held at
Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh,
PA, on May 18, 2024. These
Proud Professional Drivers are the prime example of excellence at
PGT Trucking and throughout the transportation industry.
"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 Chief Executive Officer. "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 immaculate
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.
