Unlock Your Potential in Transportation Logistics Careers at PGT Services

Looking for more than just a job? Imagine a career where your potential is actively recognized and cultivated. At PGT Services, we pride ourselves on creating a place where people can learn, grow, and quickly advance in their transportation logistics career.

Take the inspiring journey of Josh Elm as a prime example. As he shares, “The past year and a half at PGT Services have been nothing short of amazing. I’ve grown tremendously, had countless memorable experiences, and can confidently say there is no other place I would rather be.” This feeling of opportunity and support is a core part of our company culture.

Josh’s first experience in the transportation industry began during his senior year of college when he joined PGT Services as a sales intern. Reflecting on this important time, Josh recalls, “My journey with PGT Services began during the winter break of my senior year in college when I joined as a sales intern. During this time, I was introduced to prospecting for leads and the fundamentals of cold calling. Coming into this role, I had no prior knowledge of the business world, but with the support of the sales and management teams, I quickly grasped the concepts.”

Recognizing his talent and hard work early on, PGT provided the flexibility for Josh to continue his development during his last semester. This allowed him to combine his studies with valuable hands-on experience. As Josh notes, “Looking back, the flexibility and leadership at PGT made this experience invaluable, setting me ahead in my professional career exponentially.” This support accelerated his transportation logistics career.

Upon graduation, Josh’s commitment and growing skills led to a role as a Sales Development Representative (SDR), a vital role in transportation logistics. Here, he further honed his communication and relationship-building abilities, consistently exceeding expectations in connecting with potential customers. As he describes this stage, “After graduation, I started as a Sales Development Representative (SDR), where I honed my cold-calling skills and learned how to build rapport with potential customers. The strong development plan and support from my colleagues and friends at the company led to early success. This success enabled me to transition out of the SDR role after just four months.”

This rapid progress highlights PGT’s growth pathways in transportation logistics careers. Within just four months, Josh’s achievements earned him a promotion to Transportation Sales Executive. Reflecting on that role, Josh shares, “I was then promoted to Transportation Sales Executive, where I managed my own book of business and assisted in training new SDRs. I held this role for seven months, and the experience was incredibly rewarding.”

Now, Josh has reached another significant milestone in his career at PGT Services. “With my recent promotion to Senior Sales Executive, I am thrilled to embark on this new chapter—helping the company grow further and continuing to support the sales team. The guidance and encouragement from Barret Rea, Jon Pizzica, Jeffrey Jahnke, Noah Miller, Matt Lyons, and many others have been instrumental in my ongoing success.”
