This is regarding recruiting. My husband and I have been in communication with a recruiter, who has been absolutely phenomenal at answering ALL the annoying questions we ask. She has been patient with us and is very knowledgeable on company policy and procedure to provide us with those answers. My husband's dog is his world, maybe more than me lol. We absolutely love that there is a pet policy WITH pet insurance. It gives us peace of mind that it's not only the people ABCO cares for but the things we care for as well THANK YOU!!!

Hands down Bre is great. She's personable, very knowledgeable of the operations, when talking to her she was very direct but very understanding to my specific needs. In the future this is a company I would consider working for based of the first impression.

This is Jimmy Smith, (it shows Laura Smiths logged on, my wife) I would've given em 10 stars! I was with em 3 years & had to have surgery. I've been off since September 23. They let me go February 19 this year (24). I understand fully the need to keep the equipment running. I called em back and the recruiter told me they couldn't move forward with my app. So I called my Dm & he said he's gonna take care of it. Haven't heard back from him yet. Really loved it there, but whatever for, not rehireable with em. They know who this is, & know I've been diving since 1989, with nothin on me nowhere. Just figured they needed to hire a new driver for less pay? Oh well I aint hatin on em & aint holding no grudge. Just feel like it was an in house deal? Just gonna give yall 3 stars. God bless

It’s a great facility. Descent equipment. Wish I could give more stars but they don’t allow you to make the money you need to pay your bills. They leave you sitting after sending you scraps for loads.

Not worth the time or effort to do their lease at the star. I received a piece of junk for a truck, and then from there six weeks without pay only received three paychecks. All were less than 700 bucks other than that they were OK until they told me I had to move out of my truck and left me and my dog out in the heat with a truck that did not work at all the APU did not function correctly. The truck had a Lotta problems run away from the Lease.

If I could leave no stars I would. All I can say is please read all reviews.Not just the fake ones. This is not a good company to work for period. They will make you drive over the hours your allowed to drive. I could go on but my attorney has advised me not to and told me I have a great case against the company for harassment. They need to teach their dispatchers to respect the truckers point blank regardless if the dispatcher is family or not. Now my friend that is exactly why I’m filling a law suit against them for harassment and defamation of character. I value my license and the law. That is why I’m no longer with the company. By the way I’m not the only one this happened to.

Worked for a while here. It is a good company. Well structured and nice place to work with really friendly people. Unfortunatly had to quit because I didn't make the miles they offered to me. Basically a local driver makes a way more money than me. To be clear to understand, I am talking about a $500 a week being Regional first and then switched to OTR. Not possible to survive with that. Wasted two consecutive weekends stuck in truck stops without moving a single mile. Hard to make any money in such a condition. Not to mention that I haven't been payed for detentions and layovers yet. Update.... now those guys are charging me with $320 for the orientation because I worked less than 90 days. So was I supposed to continue loosing money for 90 days? My Last paycheck was $71. It is Just not fair because I quit because they didn't give the miles they offered. I was supposed to have a minimun of 2k miles a week and hardly made 1k. With loads of 300 or 350 miles to be driven in 2 days... it doesn't make any sense. And yet they charge me for leaving the company before 90 days.... not to mention that they haven't paid me for detention and layovers... and pretty sure they won't pay...

If i could rate this company 0 stars i would. Completely a waste of time. If you are going to be a regional driver be prepared to sit around alot and don’t expect to get over 1200 miles a week. Overall this company is by far the worst place ive ever worked. You can make more money pushing buggies at a grocery store. Hopefully someone will take this review into consideration. No need to learn the hard way like i had to

I drive for abco. Have been for 2 years now or just about two years. I live working for them. These reviews are crazy. The ones about pay... not true. They deliver what they say. If your a good employee and are on time with deliveries and do what your supposed to do there are no issues. They pay me well. I team. And the only time I have issues is when planners unrealistically put plans on me knowing I can't make it on time. Like I said I love working here. And am not a job hopper. Take into account these reviews are from disgruntled employees that are only telling half the story. The good out weighs the bad with these people. If your a good emoyee they are good to you.

I wouldn't work here again. The initial week was great, but I ended up being told that some of my other coworkers were getting guaranteed weekly compensation with the stipulation that they were available to drive every day that week. I got the same guarantee/stipulation, with an additional stipulation of a minimum weekly milage of 2000, and they barely gave me an average of 1500 miles a week.

Terrible communication. Make sure you understand the "Guaranteed Pay", they will not voluntarily tell you its based on miles completed. Communication is terrible. If you advise them something they do not want to hear, they will Ignore you. Only worked for 3 trucking companies but this one was by far the worst.

I've been with ABCO since 2020. I started off as the Orientation Coordinator and eventually went back on the road. Everyone is very friendly. It's a fun and professional work environment. There's no backstabbing or gossiping among employees or management. I found this very refreshing after being in a couple of different Army offices where the backstabbing and unprofessionalism was rampant, even amongst the Officer level.

Bad management. Lot’s of sitting around especially towards the end of the week. Horrible equipment. All older trucks are dirty, they promise you a detailed truck but they don’t. Most importantly trucks aren’t safe to drive due to lack of maintenance. The mechanics don’t fix any of the trucks. And don’t care. They don’t appreciate their drivers at all. I tipically don’t do this but I want to shed some light on how horrible this company is My honest opinion is look for something else. Trust me. Definitely leaving after 90 days
