ABF | Turned Down Again

[realityofitall]

It seems like there is no end to the misery of my life. I have been looking for a job since August of last year. I have applied multiple times to ABF and all I ever get is a form letter that says sorry. I dont know what to do to get a fing interview. They are advertising but no luck getting hired there.

Unless you're absolutely set to work for abf, Old Dominion is hiring in many locations.

my guess is there is something in your background check they dont like. They have been desperate even giving sign on bonuses.

If you have had any motor vehicle violations or accidents they are not going to hire you.

That will depend on what the violations are & the circumstances of the accident. A driving while impaired citation is the kiss of death especially one within the last few years. A coworker had a friend who applied & did not list a DWI. Needless to say his application was rejected. He did claim he had turned over a new leaf & promised to never do it again. He also said he would not lie because he had joined a church & was walking the straight & narrow.
I had one speeding ticket in Maine & an improper U-turn in Nevada & was hired but that was several sunsets ago.

You drove all the way to Nevada before you realized you were supposed to be in Maine?

That's why he made the improper U-Turn

 

[Triplex]

That's why he made the improper U-Turn

Exactly!

 

[Streaker69]

Exactly!

It's not his fault. He followed his Tom-tom blindly. I've seen worse. At least he didn't drive into the Mississippi River.

I had an anti-noise (muffler), throwing a burning object from a vehicle (T model Ford coil connected to spark plug in the tailpipe) tickets before I turned 19.
I don't think dad being friends with Jim and Ralph hurt me being hired by Ryder.

This was before GPS. We used road maps back then & sense of direction from driving on unmarked dirt roads in the hills & hunting at night.

I liked local driver's directions best.
One told me to go through Ocala about 4 miles,
You'll see a big ole Live Oak tree, turn left on the dirt road, you can't miss it.

I still prefer maps. I can remember when gas stations gave them out free.

That's not entirely fair to blame this on GPS.....I heard the driver in question was going around that weight restricted bridge in the background....

They had gas stations back then? I thought that you drove a horse with a covered wagon.
