This job opportunity is for a full-time Class A CDL Truck Driver with Penske Logistics, based in South Holland, Illinois. The position offers an average annual salary of $101,000, reflecting the company’s commitment to rewarding skills and experience. This role requires significant travel, potentially up to 100 percent, where drivers are expected to be away from home for two to three weeks per assignment. Drivers will travel regionally to various locations, depending on work assignments, and operate late-model trucks maintained by Penske. These vehicles are equipped with top-tier safety features, including inward and outward-facing in-cab cameras and comfort-focused specifications.

As a Class A CDL Truck Driver, you will be an essential part of Penske’s team, responsible for performing multi-stop deliveries of automotive parts and supplies to dealerships. Using manual pallet jacks, hand trucks, and rolling cages, you will unload trailers and utilize scanning devices for accurate product handling and delivery confirmation. Dispatch times vary based on assignments, but the role demands flexibility and a readiness to adapt to changing schedules and responsibilities.

This includes paid vacation and holidays, generous retirement benefits, excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage, and short and long-term disability insurance.

These benefits underscore Penske’s commitment to employee well-being and recognition.

Joining Penske means becoming part of a nationwide, stable company known for its great management, clear communication, and focus on safety, with weekly pay practices that ensure timely compensation. Drivers at Penske have access to extensive training opportunities, the possibility to relocate to different cities, and the chance to represent world-class clients, often driving branded trucks and wearing client uniforms. The role demands a high level of professionalism as drivers embody both the Penske and client brands in their daily duties.

This challenging yet rewarding role requires strong responsibility for safety, both personal and for others, given its classification as a safety-sensitive position regulated by the Department of Transportation. Penske values associates who are alert, reliable, and dedicated to maintaining the safety standards that have made the company a leader in the logistics sector.
