Job Description

Penske Logistics is a global leader in transportation, warehousing, and freight management solutions, providing innovative and efficient services to market-leading companies across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. Renowned for its commitment to safety, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence, Penske Logistics combines state-of-the-art technology with experienced professionals to streamline supply chains and deliver robust business outcomes. As a part of Penske Logistics, you become a valued member of a nationwide team that supports businesses by enhancing visibility and reducing supply chain costs, making the organization a trusted partner in logistics worldwide.

This opportunity is for full-time Local Class A CDL Truck Drivers based in Amarillo, Texas, with a dedicated route between Claude, TX and Walsenburg, CO. Penske offers an impressive average annual salary of $74,890, a dedicated route with the advantage of being home daily, and operates on a Monday through Friday weekday schedule, specifically on the third shift dispatch. The trucks used are late model, Penske-maintained vehicles equipped with best-in-class safety and comfort features, including inward and outward facing in-cab cameras to ensure driver safety and security. A key benefit of this role is the 'no touch freight'—which means no loading or unloading responsibilities, focusing purely on safe and efficient driving.

As a CDL Class A Truck Driver with Penske, you will be responsible for traveling between assigned locations and performing a drop and hook exchange with another driver, ensuring timely and reliable delivery. This role is ideal for drivers who value consistency, safety, and a supportive work environment where team members are recognized for their hard work through programs such as the Premier Driver Recognition Program and safety incentive initiatives. Penske also offers a comprehensive benefits package from day one, including paid vacation and holidays, generous retirement plans, excellent health care coverage including medical, dental, and vision insurance, short and long-term disability benefits, and life and AD&D insurance. Additional perks include company-provided uniforms and safety footwear, an employee discount program, as well as a driver referral bonus of up to $5,000 per referral.

Working for Penske means joining a stable and reputable company that is well-known for having the best equipment, excellent management, clear communication channels, and a fantastic safety record. The company prioritizes driver well-being, offering a safe and comfortable work environment with plenty of training opportunities to advance your career. Penske's nationwide presence also provides the chance to relocate and grow within the organization. Being home daily coupled with reliable routes makes this position highly attractive for drivers seeking a work-life balance without compromising career growth.

Penske is an Equal Opportunity Employer, committed to providing accommodations for individuals with disabilities to ensure they can perform the essential functions of the job safely and effectively. The company values safety and responsibility, requiring its drivers to comply with Department of Transportation standards and maintaining a constant state of alertness while operating vehicles.

If you are a Class A CDL driver looking to elevate your career with a well-established logistics company, offer reliable service with dedication to safety and customer satisfaction, and want a role that offers both stability and excellent benefits, Penske Logistics invites you to apply and become part of their dynamic team.
