    Hello All,

    I have seen some threads here about low miles in the past.. I am just wondering about current miles? What you drivers out there averaging?

    I appreciate any info, as I may end up going to Melton.

    Well good luck there Mayh3m. If you go with Melton keep us posted. I have often wonder about Melton but was not sure because of all the things I hear. I don't know if they are true or not. To have to go to orientation all the way out in Tulsa is a big gamble for some one 2000 miles away for a company that might not be all that stellar.

    i worked there for 8 mos and only made 18,000. i sat more than ran, you didn't get paid as much as you think you would. when you calculate the hours to your bring home, it wasn't worth it at all. sorry to say.

    They have offered me the job, and want me to come to orientation out there, but I haven't accepted it yet.

    I haven't been able to get a good enough feeling about working for them yet :/

    It is a hell of a trip out there. Only plus I can see so far is the quick orientation, and truck assignment. But that doesn't matter if I can't turn 2500+ miles a week. I just don't see it being worth it.

    If I do end up going there, I will let you all know what happens.
