    If you have a CDL then you should know how to do paper logs. If you didn't know you should of studied harder. Just saying, and also everyone who has elogs have to have paper logs in the trucks incase the elog goes down. Sounds like to me you didn't predate enough before going. One thing I learned quick in the short time driving. No matter what expect the unexpected.

    Melton used to email me on a daily basis, so I finally called them. They then told me that I was on their blacklist because of my "abusive attitude" toward another recruiter. I tried to explain that was impossible, as I have never spoken with one of their recruiters before. Just as well, I guess. I gave up flatbedding and make a lot more as a door slammer.

    This is the reason after 20 years of driving and never having a log book violation or accident that the fmcsa is going to force an e-log on me at the end of 2017.

    Ok, you got 40 years and still uninformed! And that's the company's fault! Sounds like lack of experience to me! And I'm not wrong about Melton, how I know? I've drove for them, I know what they will do for inexperienced drivers, although I'm not in that category, I've seen it many times
