Late Model Trucks Available for Company Flatbed Truck Drivers

A professional flatbed truck driver spends 11 hours a day driving in their truck, in accordance with Hours of Service regulations, which doesn’t include the hours they spend off duty, sleeping or preparing for the next day. With so much time spent in one space, it’s important for flatbed truck drivers to have the best equipment with the latest features to improve their comfort over the road. That’s why PGT Trucking routinely upgrades our units, with more than 160 new Peterbilt and International tractors coming in 2023. Check out the late model trucks we have available for our company flatbed truck drivers!

Peterbilt Model 579

The Peterbilt Model 579 is the most elite tractor for over-the-road truckers, using advanced technology, aerodynamic designs and safety features to boost performance. A brand-new digital dash display makes it easy for truck drivers to access critical information at a glance, and adaptive cruise and stability control features make for a smooth ride. Driver comfort is at the forefront of design, with eight feet of head room and 70 cubic feet of storage space in the sleeper. The Peterbilt Model 579 has all the bells and whistles any truck driver could ask for, backed by its powerful performance.

Benefits of Late Model Equipment

Less Breakdown. The average age of a Class 8 truck on the road today is 4.4 years. Considering that long haul truckers drive an estimated 100,000 miles per year, most units already have over 400,000 miles, halfway through the average lifespan of a heavy-duty truck. Thanks to PGT’s new 2023 and 2024 model year trucks, our Company Drivers know they have quality equipment to keep them on the road, earning a steady income to support their families back home.

Enhanced Features. Late model trucks boast the latest and greatest features for truck driver comfort and safety. Adaptive cruise control and a 12-speed Eaton EndurantTM automatic transmission system increases truck driver comfort behind the wheel. Power inverters, additional outlets and automated start and climate control functions give drivers the flexibility to make their cabs feel like home. Above all, PGT helps keep our truck drivers safe through advanced collision mitigation systems.

Company Growth. After two years of record truck orders, the market is stabilizing as trucking companies slow their fleet growth. Not PGT! PGT continues to grow our fleet with new late model equipment, adding more than 160 new units in 2023. Our equipment cycle is less than 3 years, compared to the industry average of 4.4 years. PGT is supported through our direct customer freight, providing an abundance of cargo for our flatbed truck drivers.

Driver Pride. PGT’s International and Peterbilt tractors have sleek, modern designs with shiny white lacquer and crisp PGT red highlights, making these trucks a true showstopper out on the road! Our flatbed truck drivers take pride in their equipment, knowing that they’re driving for a company who invests in their comfort and safety. Nothing is better than a shiny new truck!

Driver Feedback Matters

PGT listens to our flatbed truck drivers, ensuring that our trucks are designed with the driver in mind. We hold quarterly Driver Advisory Board Meetings to discuss new vehicle specifications and seat/sleep configurations. PGT has a longstanding relationship with Hill International Trucks, producing more than 2,000 quality trucks during this partnership. In 2022, PGT began adding Peterbilt tractors to our fleet, based directly on driver feedback. PGT works with our vendors, building the exact specifications to keep our Company Drivers happy behind the wheel. At PGT, your opinion matters!
