Expanded regional transportation network to include Central and Southern U.S.

ABF Freight System Inc. has expanded its regional transportation network to include the Central and Southern United States. The move brings increased next-day and second-day service to two-thirds of the company's North American service centers. Called the Regional Performance Model, the network features enhanced flexibility and operational efficiency for shorthaul freight transportation. RPM operational procedures enable ABF to operate national long-haul and regional short-haul networks in parallel, boosting the reliability of both networks.

Customers have the convenience of one carrier seamlessly handling regional, inter-regional and long-haul freight and benefit from rapid, reliable regional service. And while the separate overthe-road networks will be invisible to them, customers will additionally benefit from common pickup, delivery, sales and customer service. ABF also provides them with flexibility, supply chain visibility, careful cargo handling and attentive customer service.
