SALT LAKE CITY — Those seeking work as truck drivers or dock workers can look to ABF Freight in Salt Lake City, as they are hosting a two-day hiring event on Tuesday and Wednesday from 7 a.m. — 7 p.m.
That's good news for commerce as well, as supply chain issues have backlogged everything from construction projects to auto sales.
Truck drivers play a key role in keeping the supply chain moving, so ABF is looking to expand their efforts in Salt Lake City.
"There’s obviously been a truck driver shortage during the pandemic, and we have 60 people who have RSVP’d to come to the event today and tomorrow, so we are expecting a pretty big turn out,“ said ABF Distribution Center Manager Andrew Evans.
ABF is offering incentives for those with a valid Class A commercial drivers license and for forklift operators.
The company has ten distribution centers across the country.
