The members of the PGT Services team play a vital role in driving both company and customer success. This is why we are fully committed to fostering our employees’ professional growth. Our workforce consists of passionate individuals who actively contribute to the seamless functioning of our processes, ensuring top-notch service delivery. At PGT Services, we ensure that each department is led by highly capable individuals who deliver unparalleled service.

We recently caught up with Gracie Voigt, one of our devoted sales representatives, to discuss the significance of her role at PGT Services. Here’s what she had to say about the future and her journey in the transportation industry.

How Long Have You Worked for PGT Services:

“I have worked for PGT Services for just under 2 years!”

During Gracie’s time here at PGT Services, she has excelled in three separate roles. Initially starting in marketing, she then expanded into recruiting, and eventually transitioned into sales—her contributions have been invaluable to the company’s success during her brief time here. We can’t wait to see what new heights she’ll reach within the next year!

 At PGT Services, we prioritize internal promotion whenever possible. Fostering advancement opportunities within the organization empowers our employees to gain comprehensive insight into all facets of the business, thereby cultivating well-rounded team members.

What is Your Current Job Description:

 “My current job description is Sales Rep! Prior to my sales role, I first started out as Manager of Social Media and Marketing, then took over the Recruiting department about a year ago. This is my third role with PGT Services, and I am excited to help grow our network and provide transportation capacity to industrial companies all over North America. In addition to bringing on new business, I also help with sales enablement, CRM management, and helping run our new hire and internship training.”

Gracie has done an amazing job at creating relationships with PGT Services employees and beyond. In such a short amount of time, she has dominated her roles and enthusiastically embraces new challenges. We are truly privileged to have someone like Gracie, whose presence motivates the entire office to strive for greater success!

What is the Most Challenging Part of Your Job:

“The most challenging part of my job is honestly patience. I am a go-getter and I always want to be moving, moving, moving, but sometimes I have to take a step back and let things play out. Sometimes timing isn’t always right, so practicing patience is something I have really strived to work on over the last few years.”

Over the past two years, Gracie has tackled various roles head-on, confronting challenges with determination. Despite the hurdles, she finds the dynamic nature of this industry exhilarating, as each day brings something new. While the work can be unpredictable, it’s this exact element that adds excitement.

Your Favorite Part of Your Job:

“I have always loved creating relationships! During my time in marketing and recruiting I built so many relationships with individuals and organizations in the area that I was excited to take the next step. Any chance I have to form a connection or just network is a great opportunity to help solve a problem a company may be facing. Being able to provide a service that I truly believe in and help out a company tackle a need, is something I truly love doing– while making some friends along the way!”

PGT Services actively supports ongoing growth and internal development by recognizing operational needs and introducing new positions to enhance our overall business operations. Gracie exemplifies how passion and enthusiasm for the industry can lead to long-term relationships and success. Our team is composed of dedicated professionals who consistently deliver excellent service to our customers.

Fun Fact About Yourself:

“A fun fact about me is when I am not working at PGT Services talking transportation and logistics you can find me coaching Youth Soccer for Pittsburgh Soccer Shots! (That’ll test my patience lol)”

Gracie has been involved with Soccer Shots for more than a year now, demonstrating her competitive spirit beyond the office! At PGT, we empower our employees to strike a balance between their professional and personal lives, fostering both success and a well-rounded lifestyle.

Takeaway From Working at PGT Services:

“I’ve learned a lot in this industry, and one of the biggest lessons is to not take everything too seriously. Being genuine really makes a difference. I truly believe in the service I provide, which makes my job easier and more enjoyable!”

Our workforce comprises dedicated individuals who ensure smooth operations and top-notch service. We aim for a positive experience for both our carriers and customers, especially in specialized project freight.

How long have you worked for PGT Services?

“I have worked at PGT Services since November 2021 for just under 2 and a half years. Before working at PGT, I was a waitress.” During Abby’s time here at PGT Services she has helped drastically develop our capacity team. She started her career here as a Carrier Capacity Representative, then transitioned to a Carrier Capacity Advisor. Now Abby works as a Capacity Supervisor where she is a resource to her peers for any questions.

At PGT Services, we promote from within whenever possible. Encouraging internal advancement across the organization enables our employees to understand every aspect of the business, making them well-rounded team members.

What is your current job description:

Abby recently accomplished a huge milestone of moving 10,000 truck loads with PGT Services. She executed on this and developed her success over the last 2 and a half years. This is a tall task and we are honored to have someone like Abby who is now helping train our new hires, a wonderful role model to have in the office!

What is the most challenging part of your job:

“The most challenging part of my job is working through issues at times that are out of my control.”

This industry can be unpredictable, but that’s what adds excitement and enjoyment to it! There are moments in the day when everything seems to go off-track, yet overcoming these hurdles with the team makes it all worthwhile.

Your favorite part of your job:

“My favorite part is the satisfaction and hard work that comes out of a productive day. I really enjoy the culture PGT provides.”

Abby said it best herself, “this industry will always keep you on your toes, due to its dynamic environment.” Her commitment to excellence and ongoing development exemplifies the values embraced by PGT Services.

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT Paul Kurlfink

EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT—Paul Kurlfink, Account Manager

The people who form the PGT Services team are crucial for our company and customer success. That is why we are committed to supporting our employees in their career development. Our workforce is made up of a team of dedicated individuals who are actively involved in ensuring smooth operation of processes with the best possible service. We strive to deliver a positive experience for both our carrier and our customers, especially with the dedicated team we have put in place. PGT Services ensures that we have the most capable individuals managing each department with unmatched service.

We had a chat with Paul Kurlfink, our Project and Heavy Haul Manager, to explore the importance of his role at PGT Services. During our conversation, we discussed his thoughts on the future and gathered insights from his experience in the transportation industry. Here’s what he shared.

How long have you worked for PGT Services? Where did you come from (just job, you don’t have to say company):

I have been at PGT Services for a little over 1 year, starting as a Carrier Solutions Representative and now as an Account Manager. Before joining the team at PGT, I worked as a Client Solutions Manager in the transportation industry as well. 

 

Here at PGT Services, we believe in promoting from within. With internal growth throughout the entire organization, this allows our employees to learn every angle of the business and be extremely well-rounded employees.

 

What is your current job description:

“As an account manager, my role is to see the process of each load from start to finish, coordinating pickup and deliveries and handling communication with our customers throughout the process.”

 

The ultimate goal is to grow relationships between PGT and the customer by providing exceptional service and communication. Prior to being an Account Manager, Paul spent several months working as a Carrier Solutions Rep where he developed relationships with dedicated carriers and helped vet new drivers to ensure we are giving the most reliable individuals the load to move. Now he works directly on the customer side.

 

What is the most challenging part of your job:

“The most challenging part of my role is the transportation industry is subject to various external factors such as fluctuating fuel prices just to name one. Staying updated with industry trends and being able to adapt quickly to changes is essential in this role.”

 

Despite the challenges inherent in the transportation industry, such as fluctuating fuel prices, Paul thrives on overcoming obstacles and delivering exceptional service to every customer. His favorite part of the job lies in building relationships, whether with carriers or customers, and seeing the positive impact of his efforts.

 

Your favorite part of your job:

“My favorite part about the job is growing relationships, whether it be with one of our carriers or new/existing customers. It’s fulfilling to garner trust and become a reliable source for any transportation needs.” 

 

In Paul’s eyes, working in transportation is about bridging the gap between supply and demand, ensuring that products reach their destination safely and efficiently. His dedication to excellence and continuous growth is a testament to the values upheld by PGT Services.

 

PGT Services encourages ongoing growth and internal development by identifying operational needs and introducing new positions to improve our overall business operations. Our team consists of dedicated professionals who consistently provide excellent service to our customers.
