About The Position

Penske Logistics is hiring a full-time local Class A CDL truck driver. The role averages $100,000 annually and pays $30.00 per hour, with overtime after 40 hours. Drivers may be eligible for up to $2,000 in safety incentives and participate in a referral bonus program offering up to $5,000 per referral. The position is home daily and uses late-model Penske Truck Leasing trucks equipped with inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras. The driver hauls dry van and Conestoga flatbed freight, including boom lifts and parts.

It is DOT-regulated or designated safety-sensitive and requires English-language proficiency, dependable attendance, and the ability to work safely and comply with applicable laws and procedures.
