    I tried to get a job with them about two yrs ago and from what I remember and see is. They park their trucks at Penseke 54th and the beltline and you will mostly be pulling Bradford White loads of water heaters going out coming in don't know....I park in the same lot so I see them every week

    Hey Dark Wolf...

    Wow... if you are talking about the Penske on Falcon in Grand Rapids near 52nd st and Beltline, that's like 3 miles from my house! That would be wonderful!

    You hear anything about how they treat their drivers?

    I was persuing them in Lebanon TN. They were short on trainers. 3 weeks of training for a newbie at $300 a week. Not enough money, not enough training IMO. You will only make $.27 a mile for your first year. Lots of driver unload.

    The recruiter acted like they were ready to put me on. Then they wouldn't return calls. Then I went in and talked to the safety director. She gave me the straight talk and returned my calls when I called. I got a quicker starting time with another carrier and took it.
