After 37 years, of working at ABF Harold Snyder traded his job as a road driver for the retired life. Harold started his career at ABF in 1984 as a dockworker. Harold was a Local 776 Union Steward on the dock from 1988 to 1990. At the time, ABF was growing and hiring drivers. Harold was instrumental in getting ABF to start a driving school to train current employees to fill the driving jobs instead of hiring from the outside. Once qualified by ABF, Harold switched to driving the road, where he remained until retirement. Now that he’s not running up and down the highway, he plans to devote more time to family and hobbies. Harold and his wife Tenna, who have been married for 40 years, have a son, a daughter, and three grandkids that will be looking for his attention. Tenna is still employed, so Harold will have some time to devote to his toys; he currently has a motor home and a boat. He enjoys camping and fishing for striped bass at Raystown Lake.

Asked for any parting words Harold commented, “The Teamsters have been good to me like anywhere you have to fight to keep what you got! I met many great people over the years, I am glad to have put the time in.

From everyone at Local 776 congratulations on retirement Harold, you earned it, now enjoy it!
