About The Position

Penske Logistics is hiring full-time Class A CDL truck drivers to travel regionally and work at various locations as needed.

Drivers travel to an assigned location and work there for the duration of each assignment. Overnight travel is required during the week, with home time typically on weekends; dispatch times vary by assignment.

Drivers operate late-model, Penske-maintained trucks with comfort and safety features, including inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras.
