Job Description

Penske Logistics is a leading provider of transportation, warehousing, and freight management solutions with a presence across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. The company is known for delivering innovative and efficient supply chain solutions that help businesses streamline their operations and reduce costs. They serve a diverse range of market-leading companies, ensuring reliable and safe delivery of goods while maintaining high standards of customer service and operational excellence. Penske Logistics places strong emphasis on employee welfare, offering comprehensive benefits and fostering a professional work environment that encourages growth and development.

The current opportunity is for full-time Local Class B Delivery Truck Drivers based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with an annual salary averaging $63,596. This role offers significant advantages such as home daily, a dedicated route, and the use of late model Penske Truck Leasing trucks designed with best-in-class specifications for comfort and safety. With these vehicles equipped with inward and outward-facing in-cab cameras, the emphasis on safety is paramount. Successful candidates will embark on multi-stop deliveries, primarily transporting parts and supplies to automotive dealerships.

In this position, the driver will be responsible for unloading trailers using manual pallet jacks, hand trucks, and rolling cages, and will utilize scanning equipment to track products accurately as they are unloaded and delivered. The scheduled workweek is five days with two consecutive days off, beginning as early as 2:00 AM dispatch times, allowing drivers predictable schedules with guaranteed home time daily. The role requires adherence to stringent federal and state regulations to ensure safety and compliance at all times.

Moreover, Penske Logistics provides an attractive benefits package that includes paid vacation and holidays from day one, a generous retirement plan, medical, dental, and vision insurance, short and long-term disability coverage, life and AD&D insurance, company-provided uniforms and safety footwear, employee discount programs, and referral bonuses up to $5,000 per referral. Additional incentives include a safety incentive program and premier driver recognition, fostering a supportive environment for professional drivers.

Working for Penske means joining a stable, nationwide company recognized for its excellent equipment, supportive management, and strong commitment to safety. The company also places importance on employee development, offering extensive training opportunities and the possibility to relocate to other cities within its network. Drivers are considered representatives not only of Penske but also of their clients, often operating branded trucks and uniforms to promote brand consistency and professionalism.

This role is regulated by the Department of Transportation and requires individuals to maintain a constant state of alertness and exercise responsibility for their personal safety and that of others. Penske is an Equal Opportunity Employer, committed to providing reasonable accommodations to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job. This is an excellent career opportunity for experienced Class B CDL drivers looking to advance in a reputable company with substantial benefits and a commitment to safety and employee satisfaction.
