    Back, been gone for a while. Million Milers at Melton get to pick the colors of their trucks. O/O's there are few and far between, they do not offer the program anymore and when they are gone, they are gone. Miles are always good when you first start, come back in 3 months and tell us how they are going. I left in December to move to Tulsa with my GF and my miles were crap when I left. I just came back 2 weeks ago and it's niot much better but the GF broke up with me and I had no choice.

    the maroon trk is a driver that has been there for years and years. that driver is considered an ambassador of the road. some are cool and some will rat you out. most are cool when you associate with them..

    Can anyone tell me if Melton has inverters in the truck? Sure makes life easier if they do-or if they allow you to have one installed? Thanks in advance for any help!! Also do they use Comdata?

    I'm guessing it didn't work out. I think you should have to post a "this is great" bond that is refunded after one year or when you come back to give the end of game report.

    AFAIK all Melton trucks have inverters (1500w I believe), apu's, or both. They also use comdata.

    im sorprised that no one has mentioned about the pay cut in august, isnt it funny how the owner cries the blues that he hasn't made a paycheck in months, but yet he still buying equipment like its going out of style.i couldn't see working that hard and staying away from my family for a month and taking a pay cut.not to mention not getting any miles. glad i made my choice and quit and got a job that is running my hrs to 70 and getting 3500 miles a week, and not working as hard as i was. i loved the physical end of flatbed, not the hard way of being lied to like melton did.
