ABF or FedEx Freight

I think he meant hostler. Yard dog.

 

Yard dog.

 

The FedEx freight in my area is hiring but at 21 dollars an hour and all the work being seniority based I said no thanks. The driver manager told me that his low guys are only making 25-30 hours a week during the winter months and won’t pick up till summer.

 

Excuse me but the proper term is "dropyard canine"... lol

 

Hi do you have any connections on employment in Atlanta area

 

Just apply as long as you have a good clean record you will be good.

 

Google FedEx Freight jobs.

 

I start with ABF next month (Kernersvile, NC) When I had my sit down. Interview with Mr. Roberts, he let me know straight off the bat, that when I read the listings for 1st year road driver with ABF, the pay range is 65K-75K and that it was unrealistic. That during their slow periods that the drivers with seniority would get first chance at what is available. He said a more realistic salary for an ABF driver their first year with them was 60K. Also part of the union deal is company paid insurance with BCBS ...there would be like a $200 deductible and that's it.Good luck!

 

ABF is far better than FedEx Freight is , and probably will ever be. FedEx benefits, especially the healthcare, is very inferior to what ABF has, and ABF Freight insurance is 100% company paid. Where FedEx so called "insurance" is very expressive, with very high deductibles. I would gladly give up my 16 years at FedEx Freight to start over at ABF. If any company desperately needs a union, it's FedEx.
