ABF | So This Is Pretty Cool

[DCM_Doc]

Okay thanks for letting me know I didn't know if they were quick or not.

It will take a while, unless you hear otherwise your background check in still in progress.

This kid is a very good worker. Very good head on his shoulders too. They’ll be happy with him. Great guy hate to see him leave. He’s been with us six years but he has a future to look at

There is an old saying here in the hills, cream always rises to the top. The company has always been able to attract & retain the better employees.
I have heard that Joe Gibbs & Roger Penske have both said "to build a successful company you surround yourself with good people & compensate them to stay with you

Okay thanks I didn't know how fast or slow they were about this stuff. I'm back to work tomorrow at my normal job I'll just hang 10 until I hear one way or another.

I'll bet that's why Ryder held on to me for 35 yrs.

So my application according to ABFs website is still being reviewed. It's been a couple days now, I'm probably not the only one who applied so I'm probably at the bottom of the poll or somewhere in the middle if I haven't been tossed out yet. Oh well.

Let me know if you want me to call Judy for you. Her, SOR, Puddin, Buela, and me go roller skating together at Troy’s.

Oh that would be wonderful. Thank you for putting in a good word.

Alright so I'm back on the dispatch board at my current job which is good. Ive got a single run tomorrow night which whatever is what it is. Now that I'm confirmed back to work, I've got sometime to hold out and wait for ABF. If ABF calls I will go they are my first choice, but in the mean time better to have some job than no job.

 

[MikeJ]

Very cool I just got a call right now from the road manager at ABF in North Lima I have an interview tomorrow so I am excited about that. This is cool.

 

[slavenomore]

Does Slave have a doubles endorsement?

I have a double quarter pounder with cheese endorsement.

I also endorse double pay for double trailers.
And a tax write off for pulling them for the poor.
Which would be Yellow Freight.
A very charitable act.

Now Mike, you do realize you will be expected to pull doubles (WITHOUT) double pay, right?

Sorry slave I couldn’t resist

Just goes to show how important one letter can be...
Double pay vs. doubles pay.

People should tell the new guys that over and over again so it sinks in and everybody thinks about it.
And starts wanting more.

You should get an email next week saying what day you need to be in little Rock to meet with Puddin', and Buela, in HR, to get you orientatered. You need to wear a nice pair of bibs too.
