new info. on Melton truck lines

It's possible its a 600. 69** is an older group, so it may even be an 09...Im not sure on the KW's tho. I have a Century

Don't be nervous about your load. Just take your time and think about what you have and what you need to do to secure it safely. It's possible you'll be leaving the Masury yard and heading up to Sharon Coatings in Sharon PA...it's like 5 miles away. If you do, it's a coil, or coils, and it will be tarped. Just don't be afraid to ask someone for help. Loaders load trucks all day, so they have an idea on where you should place things, and other drivers can help you with securing and tarping...if not physically, then at least with some advice

 

Iv been studyin a good bit, my nerves have settled though. Although it is a little overwhelming first solo/flatbed load.. i have a good bit of common sense and newly learned knowledge so ill be alright, thank you for the words of encouragement... And charles told me it was a kw.. you should be getting a new truck soon.. right

 

FWIW, I was reliably informed that Melton is getting a shipment of new KW's in the near future.

 

They have started getting them, kevin in safety said they will end up getting around 350 and there going to sell off bout 250 to bring the fleet back up to 1000 trucks....

 

They have already received a good number of them. Bob recently ordered 250.

My century only has 446k on it, so I'll have it a bit longer, if it doesnt break down. But, one thing I like about Melton is they stay up on maintenance, so most major problems are avoided.

 

I have a app in when melton hopefully I can contiue down the line and get a job. Im just nervous about the driving test they give you. Im not the best at shifting my old man taught me how to drive and he taught me how with out using the clutch..So I miss a gear everyknow and then.

 

well you better remember to clutch on your driving test. I don't think they mind if you float, but I think on the test they'd rather you clutch it.

 

I noticed a few pages back that a question was asked about the drug testing, if it was urine or hair. Never seen the answer. Could someone answer that please?

 

Sorry, thought I did. It's a hair. Very few companies do urine due to the high cost.

 

err......reverse that. lol (I'm tired, rough day, gimme a break lol)

They do urine. Very few companies do hair due to the high cost.
