Wife just got a job offer in Lafayette Colorado.
I see ABF Denver is hiring.
anyone have some insight; I see Denver is expensive to live.
I know it pays $30.98hr. Time and a half at 8 hours, and 40. Cadillac health insurance with no premium paid by employee.
what’s teamsters union dues? How that terminal. Is it a final mile, or a hub? I see it’s quite small.
any other guys in the Colorado area doing LTL? I’m even thinking about leaving trucking altogether because the Rocky Mountains every day sounds scary as hell.
going because my wife’s the bread winner now with job offer in layafette. So Ill be a house husband
Any ABF guys in here?

I don’t know about ABF in Denver, but I do our Cross Country terminal in Denver is needing some slots filled.

As a city driver at the bottom of the board you will likely be expected to work the dock on the weekends. This has caused a number of drivers to walk off the job in the past. Denver has had a problem hiring drivers due to Colorado having legal Marijuana laws with people thinking that it applies to truck drivers as well which it DOES NOT. Dues are 2.5 hours per month so $77.00.
There are 10 Distribution centers with Denver being a mini-distribution center. They load trailers for city routes in Cheyenne, WY and Billings, MT.Last edited: Jan 14, 2025

Moved to Denver from Florida a couple years ago, used to work for AAA Cooper down there, thought about transferring but went to XPO instead. Pretty much all the LTL's run to Wamsutter, WY, Wakeeney, KS, North Platte, NE and Grand Junction for Linehaul, not too sure about ABF, but i do see quiet a few sets rolling down I80 every night
Old_n_gray Thanks this. -
I run out of Carlisle Pa as a road driver. It is real slow right now, ABF is real picky about what freight we haul right now. I know nothing about the Denver terminal. If anyone wants to hire on with us I suggest a trip to the terminal to look at seniority board and also talk to the shop stewards and the Ba to see how long until you are able to hold a bid.
hotrod1653, Cardfan89, LPjunior1970 and 2 others Thank this. -
Side note: That new One9 is super nice. That's the only new One9 I've seen built since I started driving, all the other ones were already around. -
Cardfan89 Thanks this.
