Moshe Frami's review of Penske Logistics
25 years in trucking and running a 120-truck Midwest fleet taught me to spot logistics problems fast. We moved to Penske expecting better nationwide coverage and the visibility they advertise, but their portal often showed stale GPS and optimistic ETAs while drivers sat in terminal queues - not helpful when parts are due on the line. Compared to our previous regional 3PL, which answered the phone and corrected billing errors in a day, Penske's dispute process dragged on for weeks and cost us roughly $12,000 in detention and invoice adjustments over three months. One delayed inbound even shut an assembly cell for half a day and triggered a penalty that erased the projected savings from the contract. If you need responsive daily execution rather than glossy reports, this switch was a step backward for our operation.
