Job Description:
Now is your chance to join one of the country's largest and most
trusted LTL carriers: ABF Freight is looking for new team members
across the country! ABF Freight, an ArcBest company, is an
exceptional company where driven people have rewarding careers. Our
pace of expansion means we're looking for people with The Skill &
The Will to serve customers who depend on us for customized
transportation and logistics solutions. It's more than a job; it's
a career. ABF Freight is proud to hire our nation's heroes. We know
the U.S. Military has strong values, and at ABF Freight, we do too.
Come join a team that lives out its values every day. Through the
ABF Teamsters Military Assistance Program, we are creating job
opportunities for military personnel transitioning to their new
civilian career. ABF Freight is a proud partner in this initiative,
training soldiers across the country for a career in the
less-than-truckload (LTL) freight industry. Training is currently
available at service centers throughout the country. Now is your
chance to receive training and certification for a rewarding career
as a professional driver for one of America's most stable motor
carriers! Just ask an ABF Freight driver, and they will tell you
that this isn't a lonely truckload job that keeps you on the road
for weeks at a time. ABF Freight is a less-than-truckload operation
whose drivers earn union-scale wages and enjoy all the benefits of
driving for one of the most respected motor carriers in North
America. We believe that just because you earn your living on the
road doesn't mean you have to live your life there. Our network is
designed to minimize time away from home. That's because we're a
union carrier who values people and families as much as freight.
The Teamsters Military Assistance Program (TMAP) is a blend of
classroom instruction and hands-on training. You won't just sit in
a classroom. You'll sit in the driver's seat and learn from some of
the best veteran drivers in America. If you're looking for
stability after the Army, then you've come to the right place. ABF
Freight has been in operation since 1923. We put people and
families first, and that's why ABF Freight has one of the highest
driver retention rates in the industry. You'll find it gratifying
to work for a company with financial stability, growth, and
dependability 'one that offers you the opportunity for a
prosperous, meaningful career'. Upon graduation, you'll be placed
in a full-time opening at one of our 245 locations across North
America. At ABF Freight, we care about our soldiers, and we will do

success. Please make sure to contact your Soldier for Life office
