What is ABF?

Formerly known as “OK Transfer,” ABF or ABF Freight Systems is a well-known and reputed freight forwarder that has been in business for more than a century. With its origin dating back to the 1920s, the firm is currently headquartered in Arkansas, United States.Until 1935, ABF only operated in the vicinity of Arkansas. However, after their acquisition of Arkansas Motor Freight (AMF), the company was able to expand services to other states. With more acquisitions happening in the next few decades, the firm officially gained its name “Arkansas-Best Freight System (ABF) in 1957. During the year 1966, the company’s founder Robert A. Young formed a holding company called Arkansas Best Corporation (now ArcBest) to diversify shares. Since then, ArcBest has acquired 5+ companies in the trucking and freight industry. Thanks to its large network of subsidiaries, today ABF enables online stores to facilitate same and next-day shipping along with LTL (less-than-truckload), FCL (full truckload), air, and ocean freight services. At present, it has 240+ service centers in North America alone and ships worldwide and within the 50 states.
