Located at 8401 Killam Industrial Blvd, the new location is situated on 10 acres and offers customers easy access to Interstate 35 and Loop 20.
The building will offer full-service truck leasing, consumer and commercial truck rental, contract truck fleet maintenance and Connected Fleet Solutions, a value-added resource to help customers address issues and options related to onboard technology systems (ELDs, telematics, on-board cameras, etc.).
"We've been growing steadily in the region and required a larger space to accommodate our increasing customer base," explained Chip Jensen, senior vice president for Penske's south central region. "Our new location is conveniently located near major highways for our commercial customers and also located close to downtown for our consumer rental customers."
This site contains a 12,000-square-foot office/warehouse building and a 15,000-square-foot maintenance shop with seven service bays and one wash bay.
Illinois Strategically located in the Bedford Park community, the state-of-the art building will be home to former Penske Cicero and Chicago Ridge locations.
The new facility sits on nine and a half acres and is just under 25,000-square-feet. With 10 truck bays, one automatic wash bay and a three-lane fuel island, Penske will now be able to serve more customers from a convenient location two miles from the Bedford Park Business Park and four miles from the McCook Business Park.

We are consolidating two locations into Bedford Park and creating a modern and large facility near the major Chicagothoroughfares," said Dan O'Boyle, senior vice president for Penske's north central region. "With 400 businesses in the Bedford Park village, many of which are customers, we look forward to serving both new and current customers from the facility."
