What's new

ABF | New Hire to Top Out Pay?

yes on the road or "linehaul' it takes 2 yrs. you go 1 yr at 75% then 6 months at 80% and 6 months at 90%. Then on your 2 year aniversy "yes i spelled that wrong" your at 100%.
but keep this in mind. at 75% your starting pay is .4050 a mile and $16.16 an hr. how many truckload companies start at .40 a mile? and the ones that do top out at about
.43 to .45 mile. We top out out .55 a mile and $22.00 after 2 years of service. pretty damn good.
i drive for ABF in Az and i averge $960.00 a week gross and $750.00 a week take home and i'm at 75%!!!!!!! i don't complain.
 
"stoneyABF",,,
how many days a week do you get to drive?
do they keep you busy?
How long have you worked there?

thanks for the great answers:bgroovy:
 
Hey buster, for the first 2 months or so it was alittle hit and miss but i never went without a paycheck. instead of getting my six trips in i may only get 3 or 4 trips.
But now i work everyday if i want. and i've only been there 11 months.
And what i mean by six trips is, at most ABF's when you work 6 trips or what we call "tours". you earn your ATO "accumlated time off". here in kingman, Az we get 56 hours off after 6 tours and 72 hours off after 12 tours.
And usually it takes me 6 days to get my 6 tours in. in about another year or so it should only take me about 5 days to get my 6 tours in.
 
I'm new to Dayton 064 linehaul. We get 48 hours off after 6 tours. Is this something that the contract allows the local TM to decide?

CDL holder welcome to the boards. Good to have you here and posting. I run a bid to 064 out of Winston. Maybe I can buy you a cup of coffee sometime up there.

Hillbilly will be the one that talks funny and sleeps in those damn little rooms with no windows bathrooms or Beagles.:smilie_132:
Oh yeah thats right all those boys from 051 talk funny:rofl2:
 
Does that mean I have to learn to talk funny as I just got hired in Atlanta(086) and I'm moving down from New England. They'll probably say I talk funny!
