A Reputation for Excellence

When ABF Freight^®, an ArcBest^® carrier, began operations in 1923, our goal was simple: to deliver less-than-truckload freight with precision and skill. And while we’ve updated our equipment, adopted new technologies and added solutions to better serve our customers, this ambition has never changed. Through the hard work and commitment of our drivers, dockworkers and other personnel, we’ve developed the reputation of being one of the best LTL carriers in the industry ­­­— and we take pride in that.
