Is ABF under the Central States pension fund? If so, the Google "Central States pension fund news" and then you may not have a problem leaving ABF. Teamsters pension under Central States is going bankrupt.
Just snag a good OTR job and see the country. There's some pretty good outfits that hire 21 yr. old drivers. As soon as you're 23 most every company will hire you; by then you'll be 23 with 2 yrs. experience. Don't get hung up with milage pay; look at the whole picture including accessorial pays.

Navajo Express
Melton Truck Lines
Halvor Lines
I think Henderson jacked their pay up to .38 cpm now and has guaranteed minimum weekly milage.texasbbqbest Thanks this. -

Thanks for the info and yes, ABF is Central States.
There is definitely a lot to consider and I appreciate the help of everyone here! -
While it's not ideal to work for a mega, Sni does pay (from my understanding) a decent amount for otr. Pretty sure they are hiring out your way.
...since you've got the experience, I say pound some pavement and ask other drivers at a local TS. If you were new to the game then I'd go ahead and suggest Sni. Sni isn't bad to work for, but the countless regulations and rules they impose can drive a guy nuts.texasbbqbest Thanks this. -
not all of abf is central states theres a good percentage thats other ones at cr england where trying to hammer out a union contract and we wont be part of central states
-
Maybe I'm misunderstanding and please forgive me if I am.
I'm no expert on the union stuff but Central States is the pension fund and health plans that the Teamsters use at my current shop. At least that was my understanding from the materials I've gotten.
I guess I'm misunderstanding what you are getting at? ABF and CR England are vastly different companies. -
im just saying not all of abf is incase some people worry over that im not saying your stupid or anything just clarafying
texasbbqbest Thanks this. -
I gotcha! I didn't think you were. I was just confused.
Probably cause I'm tired and need to go to bed..
