    DUI? I do know they won't touch anyone who has had one.
    Good Luck...

    And how do they expect to get drivers with that? "new" as new and improved?

    ABF has always been slow on the hiring process. I have no idea why.

    But, that includes a 7% pay cut first year of the contract. Although we get a 2% raise every year the next 3 years and 2.5% the fifth year of the contract.
