The annual holiday is September 11 through September 17 this
year and celebrates the hard work and commitment of the 3.6 million
truck drivers across the country who deliver the goods and
resources that keep our nation moving forward, as well as keep our
highways safe.
PGT Innovations is proud to have 158 Class A CDL truck drivers
who deliver products from its family of brands to businesses and
construction sites across the country. Since the start of 2022, the
company’s team of dedicated drivers have covered over 3.5 million
miles.
To show their appreciation, PGT Innovations will be thanking
their drivers with goodie bags, coffee, and donuts on Monday; with
snacks, drinks, a certificate of appreciation, and an on-site
breakfast on Tuesday; with breakfast sandwiches and a PGT
Innovations branded truck driver appreciation t-shirt on Wednesday;
with $50 gas gift cards, snacks, and drinks on Thursday; and with
two movie tickets, a coupon for free popcorn and a drink, and the
driver’s car washed by area high school students on Friday.
The festivities will take place at the main manufacturing
facilities for CGI Windows & Doors®, PGT® Custom Windows +
Doors, Western Window Systems, Anlin Windows & Doors, Eco
Window Systems®, and NewSouth Window Solutions, located in Hialeah,
FL; Venice, FL; Phoenix, AZ; Clovis, CA; Medley, FL; and Tampa, FL,
respectively.
"I can’t express enough how much I truly appreciate each and
every one of our drivers and the culture of care they act with
every day," said PGT Innovations President and CEO Jeff Jackson.
"PGT Innovations wouldn’t be where we are today without these
hard-working team members who share an unwavering dedication to
always driving our company forward. Our drivers have a commitment
to excellence, as well as pride in their trade, and I am thankful
to have these individuals as part of our PGTI family.”
PGT Innovation's drivers are also stewards of their community –
for decades, stepping forward and volunteering to travel through
hurricane-ravaged areas to deliver essential, disaster-relief items
to communities that have been devastated by storms. And within the
past few years, they have embraced the opportunity to undergo
Highway Heroes training, which taught them how to spot the signs of
human trafficking across motorways and report it.
Earlier this year, PGT Innovations was recognized for its
efforts to end human trafficking by the Florida Attorney General
Ashley Moody by being named a founding member of the 100 Percent
Club. This statewide initiative invites business owners to commit
to training 100 percent of their workforce to spot instances of
human trafficking through the Highway Heroes training. To date,
every single PGTI driver has completed the training and is an
official Highway Hero, and the company has now expanded the
anti-human trafficking training to field service and sales
teams.
Last year, PGT Innovations also addressed the national shortage
of CDL drivers by collaborating with FleetForce Truck Driving
School to offer its own in-house driver certification training
course for its existing team members. Instructors from FleetForce
lead the course by guiding a group of team members through a full
week of classroom learning at PGT Innovations’ Venice campus,
followed by three weeks of driving instruction in a controlled
parking lot.
