For U.S. businesses engaged in international trade, particularly those importing manufactured goods, the complexities of moving cargo from overseas production to the final delivery site can be a significant undertaking. PGT Services Project Logistics specializes in simplifying this process, offering comprehensive, efficient, and cost-effective transportation solutions tailored to the demands of each project.
Your Dedicated Partner in Project Logistics
At its core, PGT Services Project Logistics acts as a dedicated partner, managing the entire journey of your cargo from the moment it’s ready at the OEM or arrives at port, all the way to its final destination. We understand that each project is different, with its own set of challenges and requirements. That’s why our approach begins with in-depth onboarding meetings. We take the time to understand the specifics of your project, including:
- Scope and Timeline — Defining key milestones, delivery windows, and any time-sensitive requirements.
- Cargo Specifications — Assessing dimensions, weights, and special handling needs for oversized or sensitive freight.
- Routing and Permitting — Identifying the safest and most efficient transport routes while securing all necessary permits and escorts.
- Site and Delivery Constraints — Coordinating final delivery access, offloading capabilities, and jobsite readiness.
Our expertise in port logistics ensures a smooth transition from vessel to land.

Our services encompass the entire logistical spectrum. We provide detailed budgetary quoting and thorough cost comparisons, giving you a clear and comprehensive understanding of all associated expenses from origin to final delivery.
