ABF Freight reviews

Long hours, can be stressful

Unfortunately, leadership at the terminal level is horrendous. Example… they sent a driver a letter for failure to follow instructions AFTER acknowledging that driver was not given any directions. Another… manager told a driver he would pay him for something, then flat out lied about it and denied his pay. I could go on, but here’s my point… terminal level management knows nothing about leadership. They are like engineers. They have a process to follow and they cannot think for themselves beyond that process. That results in poor decisions by people that are just trying to cover their own backside. What compounds the problem is that most truly don’t care about the drivers at all. They just want to sit in their office, get paid, then go home. I had over 2,000 people under my employment at my previous job. I would only hire about 10% of the ABF terminal level management that I have met.
