    ABF sure is thorough

    I got a call from ABF today and the lady was asking me about my work history...Since you have to give your last 10 years of work history, and I am 23, every job I have ever had was on my application. The lady wanted my W2 from when I was 16 and made $6.00/hr at a grocery store!

    I thought it was funny, but hey, whatever it takes. I guess it is a good thing in a way, as it weeds out other applicants.

    So to anybody on here that is doesn't work for ABF and wants to, you better be as accurate and honest as possible on your application!
    Muler and Docker like this.

    I started when I was 26, and went through the same thing. One of my former employers went out of business (a small window and patio company) and I had to track these people down and beg them to pretend they remembered who the hell I was. That was my first job out of high school. Fortunately the guy did and seven years later all is well. Good luck!!!

    HAH!....Maybe they hired you for the same reason they hired me and kept me on. SOMEONE has to be the "BAD EXAMPLE" that they tell everyone not to be like. You and I must be ABF's quota for bad examples.......Don't be like us, Brother BubbaSkinner!

    Best of luck to you. Bleeding green is good. Who would ever have thought that a job at ABF would trump a job at New Penn?
