Congrats. From what I hear all in all ABF is a good place to work, and now that you have your foot in the door you will have a better chance at getting the type of job you really want once you gain a little seniority.

holy crap what a great job.
I might have to move to a big city or something. only way to get on with a teamster gig around here is for someone to die that has no next of kin to take his place. Best of luck to you, great land.
