Penske Logistics reviews

The only reason I’m at this company now is because the company that I was working at before was bought out by this company. This company made a whole bunch of promises about how much we were gonna get raises and get better equipment. They promised us just about everything and delivered mostly nothing. My biggest gripe with this company. Is there driver facing cameras and it’s just not the driver fixing cameras it is a driving facing camera along withA.I. Infrared camera that detects head movement eye, blinking, yawning, distracted, driving. And if you do any of these things, they will deduct points off of you such as yawning eating drinking as well as they follow too close if somebody cut you off and you don’t get on your brakes immediately that’s another score against you. In my opinion, this company has gone down the tubes and it’s basically harassing the drivers and I really believe they want us to quit so on a scale of one to 10 of whether or not I recommend anybody work for this company. It would be a -10 until these companies figure out that treating their drivers like they’re stupid and incompetent means they don’t need to be hauling any loads and they need to go out of business

As a former Class A driver and an Operations Manager for nearly two decades, I've seen the industry evolve dramatically. The accounts I've managed in the Northeast U.S. highlight a concerning trend: the pool of truly professional drivers has dwindled, making way for what I can only describe as "wheel-huggers" who seem more concerned with entitlement than performance. The Shift in Professionalism The difference between the "real drivers" of the past and many entrants today is stark. When I drove, and for the true professionals still on the road, the focus was on safety, efficiency, and personal accountability. Today, that often seems replaced by a startling lack of preparedness and a constant search for conflict. • Safety and Unsafe Behaviors: I have personally witnessed and received reports of truly unsafe behaviors on the road that would have been unthinkable years ago. This negligence puts the public, the company's assets, and the driver's own career at risk. • Management Issues: The issues management receives from these unprofessional drivers go beyond simple job performance. They often involve a fundamental misunderstanding of what a driving career demands. The Reality of On-Board Cameras Let's address the most common complaint: on-board safety cameras. • My Stance: To be honest, if you have an issue with cameras, do not sign the offer letter. It's a non-negotiable part of modern commercial safety protocols. • The HR Burden: The volume of calls and complaints that HR receives about basic work requirements—like cameras, or performing the job itself—are, by far, some of the dumbest and weakest crying over work I've ever encountered. These complaints waste countless hours and resources that could be spent supporting true professionals. The Bottom Line A professional commercial driving career is exactly that—a profession. It requires discipline, adherence to safety rules, and an acceptance of the tools designed to protect you and the company. The sooner new drivers accept the reality of modern trucking—including the oversight—the sooner they can focus on what matters: driving safely and earning a good living.

Worst company to work for. They only care about Smart Drive which runs the cameras on the truck. Totally unrealistic expectations. Management only cares about themselves. Run from this company.

8 years here, 33 years CDL driver. We were told in a meeting " we own you you have no personal rights". This is exactly how have they have treated us, missing pay constantly, they say oops! Drivers fired and suspended for nothing . ZERO respect for humans. The drivers are called while driving and screamed at for videos from the cameras. BOYCOTT penske.

This company micro-manages to the point of surveillance. They have people that have no experience operating a tractor trailer surveilling actual seasoned operators. Their main office is in Chicago which should tell you everything. The waste of money with business decisions is astounding. At this rate they won’t be in business long!!!! Don’t buy anything from Penske!!! Worst company ever!!!!
