Why driving for ABF Freight can elevate your career
Considering the range of opportunities available to qualified professional drivers, your job choice should involve more than just the numbers on your paycheck.
ABF Freight®, ArcBest’s LTL carrier, offers a long-term career path with a competitive compensation package, best-in-class benefits and unrivaled support. Here are five reasons why ABF stands out as one of the industry’s most respected employers:
Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits
Our drivers earn competitive Teamsters Union-scale wages, but that’s just the start. We believe that knowing you and your family have access to quality benefits brings peace of mind, allowing you to focus on delivering your best self.
As an ABF driver, you can expect:
- 100% company-paid health insurance for you and your family
- Paid holidays, vacation, personal days and sick leave
- Life insurance provided at no cost to you
- A full pension plan at no cost to you
- A profit-sharing program with a company stock purchase option
- The opportunity to contribute to the Teamsters National 401(k) plan
Quality equipment and a safety-focused approach
ABF drivers operate late-model equipment that’s well-maintained and outfitted with the latest safety technology. Regular preventative maintenance schedules and a strong safety culture ensure that you can focus on the road with confidence.
An emphasis on work-life balance
Unlike many long-haul positions that keep drivers on the road for extended stretches, ABF offers a variety of driving opportunities — including local, regional and linehaul routes — that provide more predictable schedules and home time.
For example, many ABF city drivers work primarily Monday through Friday and are home nightly, while road drivers get home every other day, 90% of the time. This flexibility makes it possible to find fulfillment in both your driving career and personal life.
Opportunities for career growth and development
ABF’s commitment to promoting from within makes it a great place to build a long-term career. Focused on driving now, but have other aspirations down the road? You’ll discover opportunities to transition into other roles, like driver trainer, operations leadership and more.
A stable place to establish yourself
ABF has been in business for more than a century, displaying a history of growth and stability that few companies can match. Drivers tend to stay with us. In fact, almost 40% of our driving fleet has been with us for more than a decade.
Drive for ABF and experience the difference
If you’re seeking a driving career that offers stability, growth and long-term rewards, consider ABF. Join a team that values your skills, supports your goals and helps you build the life you want.
