Terminal Spotlight: Get to Know PGT Baltimore

Providing jobs in transportation and logistics along the eastern shore

Established in 2015, PGT Baltimore is a primary hub for PGT Trucking’s East Coast operations, providing flatbed transportation services to all points north, south and west. Trucking drives the economy in Maryland, with 1 in every 16 jobs based in transportation, and the Port of Baltimore ranks ninth in total dollar value of international cargo. PGT Baltimore is strategically located near several industrial customers and the port, supporting the city and surrounding area with a commitment to quality and efficiency. Come see diversified transportation and logistics in action at PGT Baltimore.

Centralized Location in Southeast Baltimore

Situated in Southeast Baltimore, PGT’s terminal sits within a 10-mile radius of some of PGT’s largest flatbed customers. This prime location ensures a consistent flow of freight year-round, with over 150 loads hauled in the region daily. PGT Baltimore effectively moves freight in all directions – north to New England, west to Pittsburgh and Chicago, and south to the Carolinas and Atlanta. 

One of the key strengths of PGT Baltimore is its proximity to the Port of Baltimore, located just two miles away. This international base provides a steady stream of flatbed freight and revenue for both PGT and its drivers. To navigate the secured maritime facilities effectively, truck drivers in the area must possess a Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC card) issued by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration. PGT helps our drivers obtain their credentials, opening doors to advanced career opportunities at PGT. 

With easy access to major highways like I-95 and 895, PGT Baltimore plays a pivotal role in supporting America’s supply chain. The terminal is surrounded by numerous manufacturers, allowing PGT drivers to transport a variety of goods, including wallboard, lumber, shingles, rebar, pipes, super sacks, steel coils and more.  

Putting Drivers First

In 2023, PGT Baltimore moved to a brand-new facility, reflecting PGT‘s commitment to providing top-notch amenities and features for its drivers, staff and visitors. Spread over four acres, the terminal includes two drop yards and ample on-site parking. Nearby, PGT flatbed truck drivers have convenient access to several truck stops and fueling stations, making it easy to get back on the road quickly. The new facility also houses a dedicated drivers’ lounge, where PGT’s Proud Professionals can relax and engage with their operations team, including the terminal manager and fleet managers. 

Maintenance Powered by Penske Truck Leasing

Penske technicians manage the on-site maintenance facility, keeping PGT’s fleet in optimal condition. With quick response times and the capability to address minor tractor repairs, these technicians contribute to the overall efficiency and reliability of PGT’s operations in Baltimore. 

With over 100 active drivers and 165 flatbed trailers, PGT Baltimore continues to operate as a major trucking hub in the Mid-Atlantic region. The terminal showcases PGT’s dedication to supporting its customers, drivers, and the local communities in which it operates. The PGT fleet comprises late model tractors, and regional positions are available, making it the perfect time for flatbed truck drivers to join the Proud Professionals at PGT Baltimore.
