ABF Freight P&D career info please.

I'd focus on getting your license first. ABF has Pros and Cons like any other company... Search around all the questions you have asked, have been answered on these boards...

 

I would be very surprised if abf hired you right outta driving school but like most companies they are hurting for drivers. Top pay is around $25 an hour. You start out at 90% of that amount for 1 year and then top out. Your insurance for you and your family will be paid for fully by abf. They also pay into a pension plan for you and you will collect $75 for every year worked at the age of retirement. You have to work 2 years to gain your first week of vacation.

 

In the top right corner of your screen there is a search function... Type in ABF... Tons of threads should pop up for you all pertaining to ABF...

 

ABF has their own training and CDL course. You might want to ask them about that instead of doing it yourself first. Plus certain terminals like to hire or bring on their own. Some Companies like to train you their way. Plus getting a free CDL is worth it. That's their home office I'm sure they have a program plus you might have to start on the dock for that particular program. But seniority starts the minute you work there even on dock cause it's a union gig. If it's down the street id try to get on.

 

Sounds like a good deal.
