ABF was a good company NOT ABF Freight

Pros

Pay is good, healthcare benefits are excellent.

Cons

Hey Ft. Smith your touch labor employees are an asset, not a liability like you seem to think. When I started as a Road Driver 17 years ago this was a good company to work for, run by people that knew the industry, respected their employees & understood that this job is NOT the center of the universe. ABF Freight is a company run by accountants, who despise the drivers (right Judy?) & expect you to dedicate your every waking minute to the company.

Pros

The pay is good for part time work. Union jobs always pay more than their non union counterparts in the same industry

Cons

They tell you that as a casual employee that you can work according to your availability, but as soon as you tell them you can ' t work a certain day you become black listed. They constantly pick on the casuals about production because that can't pick on the full time union employees . For example management will tell you that your performance needs improvement yet you don't have the tools to do your job such as a forklift or pallets to put freight on

Pros

Very well run company, upper mgmt is very smart, and is one union company that has lasted the test of time because of superior mgmt. Never have to worry about this company being bought out from under its loyal employees, like the folks at Conway have recently had to endure.

Cons

If your looking to sell the fastest transit times and coverage this is not the place. Good consistent average service, and if you want the speed you have to pay for it.
