Job Description

Penske Logistics is a leading transportation and logistics company that specializes in providing innovative solutions across the supply chain. Operating on a global scale with a presence in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, Penske is committed to enhancing business performance through state-of-the-art transportation, warehousing, and freight management services. Their focus on reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction makes them a preferred partner for market-leading companies seeking efficient logistics solutions. They pride themselves on employing professional drivers who embody the company's values of integrity, safety, and excellence.

This role is for a Regional Elite Truck Driver / Traveling Driver with Penske Logistics based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is a unique and flexible CDL Class A driving position designed for experienced and dependable drivers who desire variety and the opportunity to make significant contributions by traveling where they are most needed. Unlike typical driving jobs with fixed routes, this role places drivers on a regional response team tasked with supporting critical operations across Minnesota. Drivers in this role help launch new business initiatives, stabilize and improve operational performance, and provide high-impact delivery services for key strategic customers. Assignments typically last a minimum of three weeks with the possibility to extend, allowing drivers to work as long as it suits their preferences while enjoying true scheduling flexibility.

Candidates for this role must hold a valid CDL Class A license, have at least two years of documented tractor-trailer experience within the last five years, and maintain a clean driving record with no more than two moving violations in the past three years. Preferred candidates have hazmat and doubles endorsements. Drivers must live within 50 miles of the Minneapolis area.

Penske offers competitive compensation with a minimum weekly pay of $3,000 along with premium pay for flexible, high-impact work. Benefits include the option to take one full week off every month, paid vacation and holidays, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, retirement plans with company contributions, and various insurance options such as short- and long-term disability and life and AD&D insurance. Additionally, Penske provides company uniforms and safety footwear, driver referral bonuses up to $5,000, safety recognition programs, and 24/7 driver and roadside assistance.

Elite Drivers represent Penske as trusted professionals, utilizing advanced onboard technology such as scanners and in-cab cameras to ensure safety and delivery accuracy. The vehicles driven meet best-in-class specifications for comfort and safety, supporting a positive and secure work environment. The role is ideal for those who enjoy traveling throughout Minnesota, working in various environments, and contributing to the success of a renowned logistics company. Driven individuals seeking a role that offers both challenge and reward will thrive in this position by becoming a key part of Penske's business growth and operational excellence.
