ABF Freight application process?

Hey there bud there's a couple threads on here about abf, I don't want to steer you wrong but I have heard from many drivers that it takes a while to get in with them. If you don't mind me asking where you from and have you applied to any other LTL companies.

 

That's cool brother, also try to apply to old dominion and any other LTL's out there and right now since it's heavy season a lot of ltl's are hiring.

 

Don't limit yourself to union only LTL companies. I drove for usf Holland for 3 years and left after the older teamster 'brother's were voting against the newer ones like me. They are NOT united there or at YRC. Sad. I'm at RL carriers now and making a lot more and no union bs.

 

Well many of those veteran drivers does not want to share hours benefits and every goodie abf has to offer. That's why you have to know somebody in the inside to measure you spot is somewhat secure and alway's vote for whoever they want you to. Pretty much politics, again it might work for some people and it might not work for others. Good luck brother

 

If I may give my humble cents you better off with LTLS such as estés rl carriers southeastern averitt saia and many others.

 

To keep there vacation weeks and other benefits. For example , they would top out at 5 weeks vacation but concession vote would top new guys at 3 weeks. Their pay would be 58cpm but newer hires 50cpm. Stuff like that .
