Question.

I am asking this for a friend of mine and for me. Is ABF hiring standards for part-time dock worker just as picky and strigent as they are for the drivers?

Reguarding past experience and background checks?

If it isn't cool and if it is come on now its only part-time dock.

Any info would be appreciated.
 
They've lowered their standards somewhat for drivers.....The biggest thing I see, though,...is elimination of all the 'hoops" a driver had to jump through to make seniority and benefits. Last guy we hired went right on the seniority list,...with the company retaining his "probationary employee" status only. All of ABF's smaller terminals hire CDL drivers only,...even if you end up working dock for a few years. Only the bigger breakbulks hire dock only,.....and I'm afraid I can't help you out with information there.
 
If you want casual work, not picky at all. If you want to get on FT you get just as picky as a road,city or any contract FT person and they want you to be CDl qualified and will send you to driving school in Arkansas. If it goes that far yopu have already passed background.
