logoMay 18, 2015 (Monaca, PA) – PGT Trucking is proud to be the first company in the transportation industry to use a new technology designed to detect if a driver is fatigued or distracted and to alert him or her before something unsafe happens. Invented by Maven Machines, the Co-Pilot is a Bluetooth® headset with HD quality sound, and ground-breaking technology that keeps drivers safe. Five of PGT Trucking’s professional drivers are currently using the Maven Co-Pilot.
