About the Role
As a Full-time Local Class A CDL Truck Driver, you will join a team of professionals committed to delivering products safely and on time. In this role, you will drive late-model Penske Truck Leasing trucks equipped with best-in-class specs designed for comfort, including inward and outward-facing in-cab cameras to ensure safety for all. Your primary mission is to deliver medical supplies essential for patient care to hospitals, clinics, and surgical centers.
Your day-to-day involves unloading trailers using pallet jacks, plastic totes, carts, and lift gates. While the schedule requires full flexibility to work any shift or weekend as business needs dictate, a key highlight of this position is the opportunity to be home daily. You will be on the move with Penske, and so will your career, with access to tons of training opportunities and the ability to relocate to new cities across the nation.

To join our team, you must complete the Penske employment application and submit to a background investigation, which includes a review of past employment, education, and criminal history, as well as a drug screening. This position is regulated by the Department of Transportation and designated as safety-sensitive; therefore, the ability to work in a constant state of alertness and in a safe manner is required. Associates must have the ability to accept responsibility for their own safety, as well as the safety of others.
