Penn Tank Lines was founded by current Chairman and CEO Jack McSherry in 1974 as a regional bulk petroleum hauler in the Mid-Atlantic States. Over our four decades of existence, the company has built its growth upon responsive customer service and safe operations. Early in our history, the company recognized the value of good asset deployment by using independent owner operators to supply the driver and tractor to perform the company's delivery service. The concept has been so successful that many of our original independent owner operators are still with the company. Penn has developed programs for operators/affiliates in accounting, loss prevention, sales, marketing, purchasing, maintenance, and operations. In effect, the company has created a franchise-like program which has proven mutually beneficial for the company and its affiliates.
