Do I need a special license to drive a Penske truck?

Whether a special license is required to drive a Penske truck depends on the size and weight of the vehicle and the local regulations in the area where you are renting. Generally, for smaller trucks, such as those with a capacity of up to 10 feet, a standard driver's license may suffice. However, larger trucks, especially those with a gross vehicle weight rating exceeding 26,000 pounds, may require a commercial driver’s license or specific endorsements. It is important for rental customers to familiarize themselves with their state’s Department of Motor Vehicles guidelines, as regulations can vary. Penske Truck Rental provides comprehensive information about licensing requirements on their website, along with details about the types of trucks available for rent. Users are encouraged to explore the current web page to find the specific information applicable to their rental and location, as this will ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.
