    Hi all I have an interview with abf freight at the south Chicago terminal in Illinois for a full time driver/checker. My question is if hired on then what should I expect as a new hire. Thanks

    To work the dock a lot till you get seniority and can start calling your shots. Great company to work for. Very extensive hr background check so make sure that's all in order.
    You'll start at dock rate 13 and change and when you become permanent you will make 20.84 plus overtime after 8 .and paid family benefits and pension

    Probably. But not sure in your area. Have you had two years experience driving for a common carrier or are you new ?
