    I would like to apply at ABF also when I get finished with truck driving school, but on their website the closest location near where I'll be living is Knoxville, TN. I know they have a road driver school, and the only location given is Carlisle, PA. Would I just apply at the Knoxville terminal and then if hired, they send new drivers to the road driver school?

    I looked into abf and had the job but I didn't have 2 yrs of driving experience so they were going to send me to Arkansas to train for 3 weeks I didn't go got another job else where but I'm pretty sure that's where they send you because I'm in West Virginia witch is right beside pa and I wasn't going there
