Job Description

Penske Logistics LLC is a leading global transportation and logistics company known for its commitment to providing reliable and efficient freight management and transportation solutions. With established operations across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, Penske Logistics delivers state-of-the-art warehousing, transportation, and supply chain services that help market-leading companies optimize their distribution networks and improve overall operational efficiency. The company's dedication to innovation, safety, and customer satisfaction positions it as a top employer in the logistics and transportation industry. Penske Logistics is currently offering immediate full-time employment opportunities for Local Class A CDL Truck Drivers. This role provides an average annual salary of $92,000, which is accompanied by numerous attractive incentives, including a $5,000 retention bonus and an additional $3,000 safety bonus annually. The position guarantees local routes with no New York City driving, and drivers are home every day, making it an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking stability and work-life balance in their professional driving careers.

As a Local Class A CDL Truck Driver at Penske Logistics, you will be responsible for operating late model Penske trucks that are equipped with best-in-class specifications designed to maximize comfort and safety. The trucks also include inward and outward-facing in-cab cameras to further ensure the safety of the drivers and the cargo. Your primary duty will involve making dock-to-dock deliveries of palletized grocery products, which do not require pallet breakdown. All the deliveries are local, allowing you to spend your nights at home consistently. The work schedule offers flexibility with multiple available start times, generally beginning between 8 PM and 11 PM. Additionally, drivers can earn a $200 incentive for picking up a sixth day each week, providing opportunities for increased earnings.

Penske also values its drivers by offering a comprehensive benefits package that includes paid vacation and holidays starting from day one of employment, generous retirement benefits, and exceptional healthcare coverage including medical, dental, and vision insurance. Drivers are further supported through short and long-term disability insurance as well as life and AD&D insurance. The company provides uniforms and safety footwear, and there is an employee discount benefit program. Penske encourages workforce growth and camaraderie through its driver referral bonus program, offering up to $5,000 per successful referral, and it supports safety with a dedicated incentive program and a Premier Driver Recognition Program.

Working with Penske means joining a professional team dedicated to excellent customer service, safety, and reliability. Drivers at Penske represent the company and its clients by delivering top-notch service and often driving client-branded trucks wearing client-provided uniforms. The company fosters career development through ongoing training opportunities and offers mobility with multiple locations nationwide. Penske prides itself on clear communication, excellent management, and a strong safety record. Payroll is handled weekly, with paydays every Friday, reinforcing its commitment to driver satisfaction and financial reliability. This is a stable career opportunity for Class A CDL truck drivers looking to grow and thrive with a nationwide logistics leader.
