Job Description

Penske Logistics is a premier transportation and logistics company dedicated to providing innovative logistics solutions and superior freight management services to a diverse range of industries. Operating across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, Penske has established itself as a global leader in the supply chain industry by emphasizing safety, reliability, and exceptional customer service. With state-of-the-art technology and a team of highly skilled associates, Penske ensures efficient, cost-effective transportation that helps businesses stay competitive and move forward with confidence. The company is known not only for its bright yellow trucks but for its commitment to quality and professionalism, making it a stable and desirable employer for drivers who want a rewarding and secure career.

This role is for full-time Class A CDL Truck Drivers with immediate opportunities to join Penske’s elite driver team. The drivers will benefit from an attractive weekly earning package of $2550, which includes a $350 per diem allowance. This position requires travel up to 100%, making it an excellent option for individuals comfortable with frequent travel and extended periods away from home. Drivers receive one week of home time per month, allowing for a balanced work-life schedule despite the demanding travel requirements.

The job demands a hazmat endorsement along with relevant experience, while having a doubles endorsement is preferred but not mandatory. Drivers will be assigned to regional travel routes and may be required to operate at various work locations as needed. Aside from driving, this position involves training new drivers and supporting the launch of new operations, demonstrating Penske’s investment in professional development and collaborative team growth.

Drivers will be responsible for performing multi-stop deliveries and may be required to load and unload trailers using pallet jacks, hand trucks, and rolling cages depending on their specific assignment. The use of scanners to track and scan products during unloading and delivery is also part of the daily routine. This is a unique opportunity to be part of a specialized, elite taskforce of traveling drivers, working with late-model Penske-maintained trucks designed for comfort and safety. The trucks are equipped with both inward and outward facing in-cab cameras to enhance safety and security for drivers and cargo.

The comprehensive benefits package offered by Penske Logistics goes beyond the competitive salary and includes paid vacation and holidays from day one, generous retirement benefits, and excellent healthcare coverage including medical, dental, and vision plans. Additional benefits include short and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, company-provided uniforms and safety footwear, and an employee discount program. Drivers are also supported by a referral bonus program up to $5000 per referral, a safety incentive program, and a premier driver recognition program. This rewarding combination of pay, benefits, and work-life balance makes Penske an employer of choice for CDL Class A truck drivers.

Working at Penske means joining a professional team with clear communication, exceptional management, and a strong focus on safety. The company ensures its drivers are paid timely every Friday and supports career growth with abundant training opportunities and possibilities to work across different locations nationwide. For those ready to elevate their truck driving career, Penske offers the opportunity to make a significant impact while enjoying stability and top-notch equipment within one of the industry’s most respected logistics companies.
