“I recently celebrated 11 years of accident-free driving at our ABF Freight Dallas, TX service center! If I could give one piece of advice to a new driver, always put safety first. If you ever feel uncertain about something, ask questions because you never know how the outcome could affect you, the customer, or others. Completing my route efficiently without incident or injury is something that is very important to me. Many leaders and coworkers at ABF have had a positive impact on my experience. I would like to express my gratitude to Mark Hawthorne, Steven Little, Mitchell Carr, and David Lopez.” –Gary Branche

“I am close to celebrating 20 years as a Road Driver at the Kansas City, MO service center! I recently accomplished 2 million miles of safe driving. Some of my favorite memories are making the ABF Road Team in 2020, participating in the annual Truck Driving Championships, and being named Missouri Grand Champion in 2011. I love driving and wanted to see the country, so I thought the trucking industry would be a great fit for me. Some advice I would give to people interested in the trucking industry is to enroll in a quality truck driving school, but even then, they may not teach you everything you need to know. Finding mentors at work to discuss tips, techniques, and ask questions is a great way to learn the rest. When I’m not on the road, I enjoy woodworking and gardening.”—David Wiechers
