Yuppers! It's called
U-Pack and it was just starting when I quit in 1998. It's a cool concept, where they drop off a trailer at your house, you load up the nose (front) with all your shit, ABF nails in a bulkhead (wooden wall), and along its merry way it goes to wherever it is you're moving to, ABF drops it off at your new house, you unload it, Bob's Your Uncle
The only thing I saw that could be a potential problem is that, if something got damaged AND you were able to convince ABF's OS&D Dept (Over, Short, and Damaged) that it wasn't your horrendous job of loading the trailer that caused the damage, the fine print says that you only get $0.10/pound for the damaged goods. So, that 25 lb HDTV you spent $400 on that now has a broomstick thru the screen? You get $2.50 for it
Gosh Darn! I miss talking freight!!
