ABF Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, has implemented a new driver retention program aimed at curbing the high turnover rates in the trucking industry. The company is offering increased wages, more comprehensive health benefits, and a focus on work-life balance to attract and retain its drivers.
This initiative is part of a broader trend within the trucking sector, where companies are addressing the ongoing driver shortage by improving working conditions. ABF’s move demonstrates the growing importance of employee welfare in the logistics industry, as maintaining a stable workforce directly impacts operational efficiency.
