According to Penske, the new location will enable the transportation company to better service its existing customer base in the area and also provide capacity to serve new customers.

The new facility is 21,014-sq.-ft. and sits on 9.5 acres. It has five truck service bays, one automatic wash bay and a fuel island. Penske currently employs 30 associates at the Selma location and is hiring truck technicians, customer service representatives and hikers, the company says.
