on the abf site, go to "services", "contact your local abf rep" at the bottom, then use the service center lookup. or hit the "about abf" tab at the top, then "contacts" to get to the service center lookup.

you can apply in person, or online.
your app will go through human resourses. they will conduct a VERY thourough background and employment check on you. so, dont lie. if you have less than 2 years experience, you will be shipped off to an all expense paid trip to Ft Smith Ar. for 1 month. you will attend the University of Arkanasa commercial driver training with an ABF program and trucks. when you return, you will work on the docks until you can get into a bid route. seniority is key when working at ABF. I advise you apply as a Line haul driver. not a city driver. city driver is hard work. line driver is drop and hook pulling doubles overnight. stay in a hotel and come hom the next day

your gonna need the double and hazmat.
it wasnt hard to get. you should try for all endorsements i was fresh outts school when i was hired by them. unfortunatle, i didnt work out for me at ABF. but it can be a great job if you can play the Teamster Seniority game. competition was too stiff in my area, and i got too little hours and couldnt make enough money.
