Truck Driver - CDL Class A - Penske Logistics
About The Position
Penske Logistics is hiring full-time regional Class A CDL truck drivers to deliver aluminum products to customers. Drivers secure and unsecure loads and perform occasional tarping as needed. The role involves a 5.5-day work week with flexible start times, four to five weekly layovers in a sleeper cab, a mandatory reset after each work cycle, and weekly home time. Freight is no-touch, and drivers are assigned trucks. Drivers use late-model Freightliner and Volvo trucks from Penske Truck Leasing, equipped with comfort-focused specifications, a built-in fridge, APU, inverters, and inward- and outward-facing in-cab cameras. The equipment includes 48- to 53-foot Conestoga trailers. The position requires safe, attentive operation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, regular and predictable attendance, and the ability to work the required schedule and at the specified location. The role is regulated by the Department of Transportation or designated safety-sensitive by the company. Drivers must be able to communicate in English as required by federal law and safely operate and enter or exit the vehicle, including accessing the rear cargo area. Penske describes itself as a nationwide transportation and logistics company focused on customer service, safe and timely deliveries, and professional development opportunities. Drivers are paid weekly.
