ABF Freight, an ArcBest company, stands as one of the nation's largest and most trusted less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers. With over a century of experience and 240 service centers spanning North America, we are driven by an unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and customer service. We provide best-in-class transportation solutions for companies of all sizes and industries across the continent.
This position is vital to the efficient movement of goods within our network. You will be responsible for the pickup and delivery of cargo to and from various destinations, typically within proximity of our consolidation and distribution centers. Your day-to-day involves loading and unloading trailers using the same techniques, technology, and procedures as a dock worker, while exercising independent judgment to utilize time, resources, and energy effectively.
You will perform a variety of critical tasks ranging from check-in and tractor/trailer inspections to setting up tractors and completing routine paperwork and loading logs. As a key member of our team, you will operate a forklift as needed and ensure all weight distribution laws are strictly complied with. While actual duties and schedules may vary depending on the terminal location, your role ensures the seamless flow of our logistics operations.
We are proud to offer a compensation package that reflects the value of our Teamster Union employees. Wages are set at the Teamster Union Scale, which exceeds most other carriers, and hourly employees receive overtime pay after 8 hours per day. All union employees receive health and welfare benefits with no employee-paid premiums, alongside life insurance provided through the multi-employer sponsored fund.
Our culture prioritizes work-life balance and long-term security. Each employee receives 7 days of sick leave annually on January 1st, and with the combination of personal days, sick leave, and paid holidays, you may qualify for up to 3 weeks of paid time off without using vacation. Additionally, ABF employees are covered by a pension plan at no expense to the employee, have the opportunity to contribute to the Teamsters National 401(k), and participate in a profit-sharing program.
ABF Freight is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion. We consider qualified applicants regardless of background, race, gender, or other protected characteristics.
