Former Employee - Jun 14, 2025

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!!!!

one of the worst companies I've ever seen besides, micromanagement level is ridiculous. they want you to clock in 15min before your shift to do Pre trips, & will have you wait 3-4 hours for a load then your clock starts, and you have to run to NYC at peak morning traffic and come back during even rush hour

Pros

decent equipment

Cons

everything else

If you are considering driving for pensky logistics you should know that they're driving policies are completely unreasonable, and it's only a matter of time before you end up with three points against you. If your truck is moving forward or backward, you must have a seat belt on even if you're only going three feet. You cannot eat or drink anything while you're driving. Even if you're on the road, at a stoplight. You must come to a full and complete stop at all, stop signs for 1 full second. You must be at least 4 seconds behind any traffic Ahead of you at all times. You cannot make turns on yellow lights. The AI camera in your cab Keeps track of all of this. I am currently a penski driver and have 3 points against me at this time. So now I am constantly dreading one final mistake before I get the boot. I've been driving for thirty two years, with no accidents or incidents, and yet this is how they treat professionals. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of penske logistics.

Pros

I'm only ten minutes from work

Cons

Safety teams that have never driven a truck that give no leeway to the driver.

Leasing from Penske?

Leasing from Penske?

Penske is NO, NO. For 1 month rent of a sleeper truck, they want $4117 + $0.18 per mile. If I run 10k miles the bill will be to $5917. I will survive, but they will be making more money than my self.

Leasing from Penske?

Leasing is way cheaper than renting, almost 50% less. I have one tractor and two straight trucks leased through Penske. I was worried about the cost, but now I'm not sure if I'll buy another truck. 

On one hand it sucks because you always have a truck payment, but that's about the only negative I can think of. They take care of the taxes, IFTA, tags, free washes, they call or email me when they are due for PM's which are free. I don't pay for anything other than fuel. The tractor had Continental tire's, with about 10,000 miles they started causing a vibration, no questions asked they put a brand new full set of michelins on it. And then you get the 24 hour roadside for breakdowns, also free. Peace of mind is very nice.
