Your Thoughs on working for ABF

Yea they used to have a school out in pa. But I don't believe they have it anymore.

 

Interesting, so would you say it"s like a shape up system? I remember those days.

 

Well i guess wherever it is you wont hear me complaining, FT. Smith is where, what state? and do they do all the things the "Mills" do as far as housing, food, ect...?

 

It's 10 years unless Teamsters and the Feds have changed the law.

 

Fort Smith is in Arkansas. ABF=Arkansas Best Freight if I remember correctly.

 

5 years now.

 

Shape up system?

 

Ft Smith is in Arkansas. They will pay for your flight, hotel, and the school. They will also give you a $325 weekly per diem for food etc. You will be there for 4 weeks. In return, you will agree to give them a 2 yr commitment.

 

Wish it were like that here. There have been days I've done yard dog, dock and a run all in one night LOL

 

Wow a ten year pension wasn't very much, five year pension probably wouldn't get you a weeks groceries.
