General Commodities Driver - CDL Class A
About The Position
Penske is hiring full-time Class A CDL truck drivers to haul dry van loads of Freight of All Kinds. Freight is no-touch and mostly drop-and-hook, with a mixture of live loads and unloads. Drivers operate late-model, Penske-maintained trucks equipped with comfort and safety features, including inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras. The schedule is home weekly, most weekends. Pay is $0.65 per mile, with average weekly pay of $1,300 to $1,600 and an additional utilization bonus based on miles driven. Drivers represent Penske and its clients, deliver freight safely and on time, and provide customer service while building relationships with accounts. The position requires compliance with applicable laws and regulations, regular and predictable full attendance, English proficiency, and the ability to work safely in a DOT-regulated or safety-sensitive role. Candidates must complete an employment application and undergo background investigation and drug screening. Penske offers training opportunities and career mobility across its nationwide locations. The role includes a comprehensive benefits package and access to a safety incentive program and driver recognition program.
