Your Experience Drives Us
We want every experience you have with ArcBest to be better than the one before — so you get the full benefit of a dedicated partnership. To support your success in the constantly changing logistics environment, we listen carefully, spend time thinking about how our processes, services and technologies impact your business, and partner with you to create better, more efficient solutions.
In February 2024, we launched Vaux Smart Autonomy™, material handling technology that combines Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) forklifts and reach trucks with intelligent software and remote teleoperation capabilities to automate the material handling workflows that keep supply chains moving. Combined with our Vaux Freight Movement System, it’s the only end-to-end autonomous warehouse materials movement solution in the market that’s flexible out of the box to handle variability in facilities, processes and product characteristics.

We recognize the importance of having better visibility into your less-than-truckload shipments and having the ability to make informed decisions based on data. So, we improved our pickup status notifications for ABF Freight LTL shipments. With these enhancements, you’ll get more detailed pre-pickup information, pickup reschedules and pickup deletion summaries.

The people you talk to every day have the power to make your experience the best it can be. We’re equipping them with more training, so your job is even easier. And they’re exceeding our greatest expectations. Here are the people you’ve recently called out for doing a great job:
For an improved customer experience and to give better insight into when residential shipments will arrive, we implemented a new delivery text program for ABF Freight LTL residential deliveries. With this new program, we can communicate faster and more directly when setting up delivery appointments — making it easier for your customers to plan their day.
Scheduling Residential Deliveries Via Text
To keep you better informed, when an ABF service center closes for inclement weather, we now send an email to proactively update you on any changes to your freight’s location and delivery time. The email will include a link to our website where we’ll post the most up-to-date information on closures and other service advisories — helping provide you with better peace of mind during weather uncertainties.
Rolled out Direct Weather Notifications
Improved LTL Pickup Status Notifications
Our Investment in Sustainability
To continue serving as a trusted partner and addressing your most critical needs while simultaneously practicing responsible corporate citizenship, we remain focused on our sustainability efforts. This involves optimizing the equipment we utilize, how we route shipments, the safety and security measures we have in place, our innovative technology and the training programs that give our people the best resources and tools to serve you well.
