    Hi drivers.
    I have been driving for ABF Freight and I don't like it.
    Schneider LTL has some new opportunities in my area and I was just wondering if anybody might know anything about this side of Schneider?
    Thanks!

    I passed a single-axle Schneider sleeper pulling a set of YRC pups last night. Later, a CR England truck pulling an old Roadway long box. I definitely wouldn't want to be one of those guys pulling into union terminals every night while their employees are under 15% paycuts and reduced pension contributions.

    What don't you like about ABF? Are you a city or road driver? Just curious.

    I'm a city driver for ABF.
    And I am on 'the list', not a casual driver.
    While we do have a pretty decent pension, the pay ($24.00 per hour) is not enough income, in my opinion, to make the job worth the effort, and that even includes all the many hours of overtime.

    Why don't you switch to linehaul for better pay?

    No? From what I've read ABF road drivers certainly make more than city, unless I'm mistaken???.. I know when I worked for Conway that's surely how it was there...

    I do know our city guys do better than most of the linehaul drivers.
