About The Position

Penske Logistics is hiring a full-time Class A CDL truck driver to deliver tires on non-dedicated routes that change daily. Drivers make multi-stop deliveries, unload tires from trailers by hand, and count the exact number delivered to each customer. Some deliveries are dock-to-dock. Drivers use late-model Freightliner and Volvo trucks leased by Penske, equipped with inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras and designed for driver comfort. The role involves representing Penske and its clients, providing customer service, and delivering products safely and on time. The schedule is Monday through Friday. Routes typically depart between 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., though some appointments may require an earlier start. Routes average 9 to 10 hours per day, with average weekly hours of 50 to 55. The job is transportation-regulated or designated safety-sensitive and requires alert, safe work. Full attendance and the ability to work at the required location and schedule are essential. Penske advertises average annual earnings of $82,000, a $5,000 sign-on bonus, safety incentives of up to $3,000 annually, and a boot allowance. Benefits include paid vacation and holidays from day one, retirement benefits, medical, dental and vision coverage, short- and long-term disability, life and AD&D insurance, company-provided uniforms and safety footwear, employee discounts, a driver referral bonus program, safety incentives, and a driver recognition program.
