Big vehicles - big responsibility
In your early 30s, you already have 15 years of professional experience as a truck driver? That only works if, like Tony R., you really step on the gas early on. He got his enthusiasm for trucks from his father, who took him on the road with him when he was a little boy. What he particularly appreciates about his job:
- By working in local transport, I am with my family every day.
- Supplying food is a responsible job.
- The fact that I can also drive large trucks is just great.
Many tasks - many development opportunities
Sandra K. appreciates the variety of her tasks in the HR department, where no two days are the same. Between job interviews and applications, she makes many phone calls to employees, for whom she is often the first point of contact. The fact that she can use her training as a foreign language correspondent is just as much a plus as these criteria:
- The logistics sector is crisis-proof and fit for the future.
- The family atmosphere despite the size of the company.
- Numerous further training courses and lifelong learning.
Good equipment, good colleagues, good work
The colleagues Hakan K., Nancy S.A. and Marcel W. have a lot to offer: A trained eye for the requirements of the goods, the ability to adapt flexibly to new situations, a willingness to help on the gene side. All three love the challenges in logistics and that is precisely why they have been part of the pfenning team for over 30 years:
- Supervisors gratefully accept suggestions for improvement.
- Individual responsibility succeeds because of the great trust in the team.
- Working together, being there for each other - a great team spirit.

An employer where you're part of the family
pfenning logistics is a family business, owner-operated in the 3rd and 4th generation. Close personal ties, responsibility for and commitments to each other strengthen the bonds that make us so strong.
Our employees are included in this partnership as integral members. Even with 100 locations, we stick together as families do.
Taking responsibility
A company’s success often depends on the extent to which its people are willing to take responsibility for their team and for their work. The staff at pfenning logistics are neither agents nor folk who merely follow instructions. Independent action is both wanted and welcome here.
In return, we are happy to take responsibility for our people – from initial and further training, fair remuneration and the provision of an ergonomic workplace to looking after them later in life with the pfenning pension.
Caring and flexibility
There has to be a balance between working hours and leisure time. To this end, we offer different working hours models for the special times in life. For example, we have been able to provide many part-time workers with a happy home at work. With set working times, the necessary flexibility and good provisions for the future. Whether you are a single parent or have to look after family members: we always have an open ear for the concerns of our employees.
ONE EMPLOYER – MANY BENEFITS
Help in emergency situations? Providing for retirement with the pfenning pension? That goes without saying for us. But our comprehensive employee benefits programme offers a whole lot more.

Development and further training
As a family business, we understand what families need to function. Family-friendly working hours, part-time & annual working time accounts – our employees can rely on fair working time models that are individually tailored to their needs. A large number of part-time employees have already found a happy job home with us. With set working times, the necessary flexibility and good provisions for the future. The compatibility of work and family always has absolute priority.
Prevention and health promotion in the workplace through ergonomic workplace design, job-specific work clothing or a variety of training courses for self-management. Our internal Health and Safety Committee is constantly looking at modern solutions to ensure that the workplace remains ergonomically safe in the future.
With company loans and unpaid leave, we provide the support our employees need in critical situations. Uncomplicated and individual – just like a big family.
Profitable and safe. The pfenning pension is based entirely on term and interest rate, so it can be calculated precisely at any time. Unlike with insurance products, with this special kind of company pension, staff members are not charged commission or administration costs and also benefit from a high level of government support. Furthermore, the savings process is entirely flexible. One-off payments are possible, as are the suspension or reduction of ongoing contributions. Also important: the pfenning pension will continue to exist in full even if the employment relationship ends. The system is effectively a "company savings account", which is to say all employee claims will continue to exist even if they leave the company and will continue to earn interest automatically.
The (further) development of employees is particularly important to us. Our in-house pfenning academy provides a wide range of vocational training and further education opportunities to ensure employees receive exactly the training and further education they need. Whether it's a forklift driver's licence, order picking, leadership skills training, load securing or an MS Office course – take your career a decisive step forward. Because: if you want to get ahead, we will actively support and encourage you.
