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.

About the Role
This position serves as the backbone of our logistics operations, responsible for the pickup and delivery of cargo to and from various destinations, typically within proximity of our consolidation and distribution centers. You will act as a vital link in the supply chain, utilizing the same techniques, technology, and procedures as a dock worker to load and unload trailers efficiently.
In this role, you will exercise independent judgment to build and tear down trailers, optimizing time, resources, and energy while strictly complying with all weight distribution laws. Your day-to-day activities will range from check-in procedures and tractor/trailer inspections to operating forklifts as needed and completing routine paperwork, such as loading sheets. While the core duties remain consistent, actual tasks and schedules may vary depending on the specific terminal location, requiring flexibility to meet the demands of shift work that may include days, nights, and weekends.
Hiring Process
Candidates must possess a valid Class-A CDL with doubles/triples, tanker, and hazardous materials endorsements. We require a minimum of 21 years of age and a good, stable work record with a safe driving history. Successful applicants must pass a DOT pre-employment drug screen and meet all DOT medical requirements. Candidates with less than one year of verifiable tractor/trailer experience may be eligible for training.
Equal Opportunity
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.
