About the celebrations
The annual event, organized by the American Trucking Associations and observed from Sept. 10-16 this year, aims to honor the more than 3.5 million truck drivers nationwide who play a role in keeping the country moving forward. PGTI takes pride in its 135 Class A CDL truck drivers, who transport products from the family of brands to businesses and construction sites across the country. In 2023, to date, PGTI drivers have made more than 50,000 deliveries, covering 5.1 million miles.

What PGTI says
"In addition to their exceptional service, our drivers are also active members of their community,” says Jeff Jackson, president and CEO, PGTI. “For decades, they have tirelessly volunteered to deliver essential supplies to areas devastated by hurricanes, including Hurricane Ian in 2022 and Hurricane Idalia this year. Furthermore, every PGTI driver has completed the comprehensive Highway Heroes training, enabling them to identify and report instances of human trafficking.”
Celebrations took 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, Florida; Venice, Florida; Phoenix, Arizona; Clovis, California; Medley, Florida; and Tampa, Florida, respectively.
“We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our drivers, and the culture of care they foster within the company,” adds Jackson. “The collaboration between PGTI and our truck drivers is a testament to their commitment to excellence and driving the company forward.”
