Penske Company Bans White Supremacists From Renting Trucks [View all]

You may have seen the video of the gang of Patriot Fronters being forced, touchless, to a huge Penske moving truck a couple of days ago.

Penske says no more to them.

Here is a movement we could all get behind... like "no shirt, no service".

"You an asshole, GTF out of my shop."

Company Bans White Supremacists From Renting Trucks

Penske Truck Rental said on Sunday that it had banned members of the white nationalist hate group Patriot Front from renting its vehicles.

The company's decision comes after videos on social media showed masked members of Patriot Front fleeing in one of the company's yellow trucks after being confronted by a group of people in downtown Springfield, Missouri, on Saturday.

Newsweek has contacted Penske for further comment via email.

Why It Matters
Patriot Front frequently relies on rented trucks to transport members to demonstrations in cities across the country. Penske's response is the first public rebuke by a major company against the group and the decision could affect its ability to rent trucks in the future.
