READING, PA (May 13, 2005) - Penske Truck Leasing announced today that it opened a new facility at 1930 Lasalle Avenue, Lancaster, Pa. that will offer full service leasing, contract maintenance and commercial and consumer truck rental services.

It can effectively handle maintenance on over 1,000 vehicles and has a two-lane fuel service island that provides diesel and gasoline.
