With decades of expertise in transportation services, Penske is dedicated to helping companies and individuals move forward by delivering innovative logistics, transportation, and technology services. Penske is widely recognized for its commitment to excellence and fostering customer success.

The company's emphasis on safety, professionalism, and cutting-edge technology has solidified its reputation as a trusted partner for vehicle leasing, transportation management, and logistic support.

The position of Hiker (Vehicle Transporter/Truck Driver) at Penske Truck Leasing is a casual, on-call part-time opportunity perfect for licensed CDL Class B drivers seeking supplemental income and flexible working hours ranging from zero to 25 hours weekly based on business needs. The role primarily involves delivering and returning trucks and vehicles, such as box trucks up to 26 feet in length, to Penske locations and customers. For drivers holding a CDL Class A license, the job may extend to operating tractors and trailer movement. This position presents a unique chance to work in a dynamic environment that supports independence, customer service excellence, and logistical precision.
