fulfilling driving career. 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."
