When I left the United States Army after 27 years of service, I began a job search. ABF was hiring drivers in the Atlanta, Georgia area, and it seemed like a great opportunity, so I quickly gave them my application. I started out as a casual on the dock. After some time, the company decided to invest in me and offered to pay for me to go to school to get my CDL. I was then able to drive the flatbeds transporting people’s items when they are moving or relocating. This was such a great opportunity for me because I enjoyed going into neighborhoods and meeting many types of new people. It really was the perfect fit.
