    I didn't see a forum for ABF: What does ABF look for in a new driver/how to get hired on?

    I heard ABF is a solid company, I'm interested in looking into them myself, I've been using this forum to research all the prime jobs... LtL is my choice of trucking, it's more $ by clock & more cpm by" click".... beverage & food seems to be more hectic driving although most local driving is a little more hairy canary, but you get bored sitting in the sattle for hrs and you see your family every day & live a fuller life

    Well, I'm back. I have an interview w/ABF next week (dock). Does anyone know what options ABF has to move into the driver seat? What is the starting pay for the dock? Thanks!

    Yes, as a dock worker at Express. At my 90-day mark...I will be able to bid on driver jobs and if I get it (ni one with more senority wants it)...they will train.

    Just to be a dock worker? Seems strange.
    Can you not get hired on at Fed Ex Express as a truck driver? you have to go through the dock first?
