Can i bring my pet with me on the truck?
Yes, we have a pet policy at Melton and numerous drivers take advantage of this great program. We allow one dog or cat under 90 lbs.Last edited: May 11, 2026 at 10:15 PM

I will also add that if you're interested in staying out for extended periods, melton's trucks are well suited for that. The sleepers are very large, and the empty weight is comfortably below the max to haul 48k so you'll have plenty of room for all your creature comforts. You get a day off for every 7 you spend out, you can take off as many as you've earned whenever you want, and they stack up with no limit. Every 3 week period you stay out consecutively, you get a credit for either an extra hometime day, or you can cash it out for $200. Ask about their road warrior program.
