I heard Abf is better long term but I want to work for two years only as a linehaul trucker and make as much money as I can after than I am done with trucking.
Do I go with Abf or central transport for 2 year employment ?

Well, if you are a lady, I'd stay away from Central. Apparently, they settled a $5.5 million dollar lawsuit for failing to hire female drivers,,,sounds like a class act,,,I'd go with ABF.
Wargames Thanks this. -
ABF is Teamster. Central has always had a bad reputation.
Wargames, Diesel Dave and Old_n_gray Thank this. -
But this person is only interested in working 2 years. At Abf it is all about seniority. Old dominion or Estes and even Saia would be better.
blairandgretchen, Wargames, Pickleball and 1 other person Thank this. -

This philosophy makes no sense. You would make more money being a doctor for two years.
Numb Thanks this. -
if you aren't already a CDL holder with endorsements it makes no sense to go through all the prep.


if you already have one go for it. -
EDIT: I deleted what I posted, went back to reread the OP. As for a 2 year employment, go with a Russian 1099 outfit.
bryan21384, Speedy356 and Lonesome Thank this. -
Well good luck at either place since line haul runs at both places are seniority based your not going to make a lot until you build senioritySpeedy356 Thanks this.
