ABF Freight Systems Employee Reviews for Fleet Maintenance Manager

What do you like about working at ABF Freight Systems?

"The benefits were good. Working with the union employees were very similar to past work experiences."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Plan to use the job as experience only. Use it as a stepping stone to bigger and better careers with other companies. This is a company that does not train they employees."

What don't you like about working at ABF Freight Systems?

"The rules changed from one day to the next. Working in a work place without written operational procedures, in a union environment, is like a business that plans to fail. You have nothing to control what the workers can or can't do on a consistent basis. In past experiences in union operations, having written standard operation procedures agreed upon by both management and workers makes everyone work as a team. There was no consistence among employees because there were no written controls."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would treat all my employees like they have a brain. This company is scared of training their personnel to do their jobs. In this day and age working a maintenance shop without required diagnostic equipment it a waste of mechanic time, inefficient, and outright business irresponsible. You have mechanics that could fix simple problems, but without diagnostic tools the equipment must be farmed out to local vendors who do warranted work. The business model is just not cost effective."
