    Anyone work out of this Terminal off of 394 in Ford Heights? Just curious what type of long runs do they get out of here? Do lower seniority guys get laid off a lot? Decent terminal to work out of? I live about 5 miles from there and am considering going back to LTL....Thanks

    How long is the wait to become full time and get benefits and all the goodies with ABF? Does it depend on the terminal? I might get an interview this week.

    When I interviewed it was 75 days. Did you apply for city? They don't allow under 25 to do the road

    I don't see a thread just for ABF.. I see YRC,Conway,UPS, and FedEx... Maybe I'm blind?
