ABF Freight

I've worked for just about every kind of trucking company imaginable, from the bottom of the bucket to the top, not one had ever asked to see a H.S. diploma or GED. I have a GED, for what's it worth, but some college.

 

For heaven sakes get your GED! At least! There ain't no such thing as too much education. Even if a job you are looking at today, don't require none, how about the job you may want next year? Or ten years down the road?
OK, I'll get off the soap box now, afore somebody kicks it out from under me...

 

My company doesn't have an education requirement under "minimum requirements", but I'm pretty sure the question was asked on the application. They just have "basic math skills" and "fluent in English" listed, rather than a specific requirement.

The problem is if you cannot check off either the GED or H.S. Diploma boxes, it might raise additional questions if you got an interview like "why did you drop out of school?" or "why didn't you ever pursue getting a GED?". No trucking company has ever asked me for proof of my High School Diploma, but if they did, I'd be able to provide it. Get your GED if you possibly can.

 

Anyone here know how long the process is for abf freight hiring process?

 

Very long and very thorough. Usually around 3 months

 

Danm! The recruiter said the same thing..smh I was hoping to hear different lol

 

If you really have all the skills and knowledge necessary for their work, then I think that there should be no problems. I know many guys who, without a diploma, have found an excellent job.
