About The Position

Penske Logistics is hiring a full-time Class A CDL truck driver to operate a dedicated delivery route. The role averages $90,000 annually and offers a $5,000 sign-on bonus, with additional safety incentives available up to $6,600 annually. Drivers are home daily and haul no-touch freight, with deliveries that involve live loading and unloading. Routes may occasionally have schedule and stop variations.

The driver operates a late-model Penske Truck Leasing vehicle: a 53-foot dry van trailer with an automatic transmission and day cab. Trucks are equipped with inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras. The driver conducts pre- and post-trip inspections, reports maintenance needs, and maintains professional, courteous interactions with customers.

The schedule is Monday through Friday, with a 12:45 PM start time and approximately 60 hours per week. The position is safety-sensitive and regulated by the Department of Transportation. Drivers must work safely, remain alert, comply with applicable laws and regulations, and take responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others.

Penske describes itself as a nationwide employer offering training opportunities and potential mobility to other locations. Drivers represent both Penske and its clients, and may drive client-branded trucks and wear client uniforms.
