Penske Truck Leasing is a recipient of the 2013 National Excellence in Training Award by the Automotive Training Managers Council (ATMC).

"This new comprehensive curriculum helps drive our vision of an industry-leading maintenance workforce, and we thank ATMC for recognizing our successful efforts," stated Bill Jacobelli, Senior Vice President of Maintenance for Penske Truck Leasing. "When we're able to complete high-quality PMs consistently, we are better able to support our truck leasing, truck rental and contract maintenance customers and increase vehicle uptime."  

Penske was formally honored at the Annual ATMC Industry Week reception on Nov. 6 in Las Vegas.

"Judged by a panel of ATMC training professionals, the Penske program and six others were selected from among numerous submissions for their ability to meet training objectives in a highly effective and innovative manner," said Dave Milne, ATMC President. "Congratulations to these deserving companies and the personnel who contributed to the development and administration of these programs."
