lets have a update on Melton

I was loading with a melton guy not too long ago who I would say was in his mid to late 60s. He called me over to help him get his 8' tarps on top of his load, but besides that he got the job done by himself. Melton used to run 3 piece tarp systems which made them lighter. I guess now they're 2 piece systems.

All the guys I've talked to there as of late seem happy enough. It is a starter company,but Most companies are anymore. I'd go with a smaller flatbed outfit local to you if I was in your spot, but that's just personal preference. Only issue you might run into is not having recent OTR experience.

 

They screwed the boat.......

You're in a good location for Melton and Cypress in Jacksonville.
Abilene Motor Express will probably hire you and their trucks run 72 mph. They hire drivers that have been of the road for years. They pull reefers and dry vans.

 

Abilene is owned by swift

 

He kinda screwed himself.

 

Knight runs the show. Swift is under Knight management.
Abilene is still a good company from what their drivers say.
