This hiring event can also launch exciting new careers for those looking for a job change.

Participants will attend a six-week paid training program at ABF's expense to help them earn a CDL-A and begin a driving career. The program provides more than 150 hours of behind-the-wheel experience, and through both classroom and hands-on instruction, participants will learn everything they need to know to become a qualified ABF driver.
"Our Driver Development Program is designed especially for those who want to join our industry and provides them the training to acquire lucrative driver positions at our company," Runser said. "We've seen many participants improve their job satisfaction and earning potential while becoming ABF drivers through this program."
