Flex Truck Driver - Class A Hazmat - Penske Logistics
About The Position
Penske Logistics is hiring full-time local Class A CDL truck drivers to support multiple logistics operations throughout Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas. Drivers deliver auto parts to retail locations and perform touch-freight deliveries using pallet jacks, hand carts, and totes. They provide route and location coverage as business needs require and operate late-model, Penske-maintained trucks with inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras. Regional travel may be required, with paid travel time, per diem, and layover pay. A Hazmat endorsement is required within 90 days of hire. The schedule is typically five workdays with two consecutive days off. Workdays average approximately 11 hours, and most routes dispatch overnight, generally around 8:30 PM. Dispatch times and assignments vary according to route and location needs. Drivers typically stay at an assigned location for the duration of a work assignment. The role requires safe, alert operation of a commercial vehicle, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, regular and predictable attendance, and the ability to complete physical tasks including frequent movement and lifting. Penske describes its driving team as focused on safe, timely deliveries, customer service, and building relationships with accounts.
