Kentucky is a powerhouse of American industry, from steel manufacturing to massive construction projects.

PGT Trucking is proud to offer specialized flatbed solutions and career opportunities from our strategic terminal in Ghent, Kentucky — a facility powered by a unique partnership designed to benefit both drivers and customers.
The PKM Advantage: A Powerhouse Partnership
The Ghent terminal is a premier example of industry collaboration, operating as a joint venture between PGT Trucking, Kitchen Family Trucking (KFT), and MSR Transportation. While MSR and KFT operate as integrated fleets with PGT, this joint ownership allows all three companies — with their specific areas of expertise — to provide a designated home base in the heart of a heavy-haul region.
For drivers, the “PKM Advantage” means choice and flexibility. Whether you prefer a specific type of truck, a particular commodity, or a certain growth path, you can find the fleet that fits your lifestyle while staying within the same supportive regional umbrella.
Ghent, KY Dedicated Trucking: Strategic Service in an Industrial Hub
The PGT Ghent terminal is strategically located on an “industrial highway,” situated across the street from Nucor Steel and just down the road from major facilities like North American Stainless and CertainTeed.
This proximity creates a significant advantage for businesses and drivers alike:
- Reduced Deadhead: Being “right down the road” from the source of the freight means fewer empty miles and more efficient routes.
- Rapid Response: With staff and drivers stationed at the doorstep of our customers, we can react quickly to any logistical needs or specialized commodity requirements.
- Operational Efficiency: Located just off I-71 at Exit 57, our terminal offers streamlined transit into the broader Southeast and Midwest regions, avoiding the delays of complex backroads.
Specialized Expertise: Heavy Haul and the Tri-9 Fleet
Ghent is a hub for specialized, heavy-duty operations. It serves as the home base for the PGT Tri-9 heavy haul fleet.
In this region, expertise is everything. Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana offer specific state permits that allow for heavier loads when utilizing an extra axle. Our Ghent operation is well-versed in these permit requirements, allowing our drivers to move more freight in fewer trips. For the experienced driver, this means a professional environment focused on high-value, high-complexity freight like steel coils and essential building materials.
