General Manager of the Northeast Area Corey New also addressed the crowd. He served over 26 years as a soldier in the Army and spent the majority of his career in transportation, warehousing and distribution, with duty in multiple logistics units in the U.S., Germany, Afghanistan and Iraq. To begin his speech, New opened up with a short video and spoke highly of what great additions veterans make to the Penske workforce. "I applaud the continued commitment of our Penske leadership to recruit invested and retained veterans to make our team the very best," said New. "I know our veterans will continue to make a difference and make Team Penske stronger now and into the future." Veterans continue to be a big part of helping the company continue its efforts in moving customers and the world forward. Over the last three years, veterans represented 9 percent of all Penske new hires.
