Executive Summary

Chad Marsilio, Chief Operating Officer

As we approach the November election, everything remains in a holding pattern. Regulatory decisions are delayed, manufacturing stalls, and businesses and consumers spend cautiously. Hurricane season also threatens to disrupt the supply chain, as most recently observed with Hurricane Beryl in Texas.

Trucking companies continue to see rising operating costs and increasing insurance premiums, with some notable carriers even going bankrupt during this time. To be successful, fleets must use effective cost management tactics to endure the current market environment.

PGT Trucking is well-positioned for success, strategically growing our company despite challenging circumstances. After more than 43 years in business, PGT understands the cyclical nature of our industry, excelling through times of both upward and downward swings. We remain committed to our customers, providing personalized transportation solutions for safe and on-time deliveries.
