About The Position

Penske Logistics is hiring an experienced Class A truck driver for its Elite Driver team.

Training is provided for specialized equipment. Assignments last at least three weeks and may be extended; after every three travel weeks, drivers may choose a home week or another travel week. The position offers weekly compensation of $2,350 plus a $350 weekly per diem, and drivers are compensated during a home week. Drivers represent Penske and its customers, use scanners and onboard technology to ensure accurate deliveries, and operate well-maintained vehicles equipped with inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras. The role is regulated by the Department of Transportation or designated safety-sensitive and requires safe, attentive work, regular predictable attendance, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
