Loggin on "Line 3" for TMC

I know and it's safe with me! lol!

 

Melton? I don't understand the secrecy, or why it would be "not right" to say who you work for. Who gives a f###. It was just a question. Sorry to have asked you the name of your company. Your on here knowing who everyone on here works for but your is some sort of national security. Ok I think thats dumb, but ok.

 

Yes. I work for Melton...I just don't say it because I've had people whine at me for going into other company threads and say it. It just gets old.

 

how is melton a white rabbit

 

Running Rabbit..... Not white rabbit. All i did was google it to find out, so he could have saved me the time and just said MELTON! So any who how do you like driving for them, and are they about the same or better in your opinion than most? Just asking, so hopefully no one s### their pants.

 

Well what a Monday. I drove 163 miles today lol. I will not complain though. God is good. I was able to come home for the weekend and I delivered 20 minutes from the house this morning. However a truck broke down in that company's yard and I was unloaded from the street. About a hour and a half to unload 15 pallets. I sent in my empty at 0730 cst and waited another 2 hours for a load. I thought for sure I would go to the steel mill but nope. Home Depot DC. Got there a few minutes later and at this time only had 45 minutes of driving time for the day. started early also so 7pm was the end of my 14. I was there at 0930 and did not leave until 3pm. My fuel stop is in Mebane, NC and so I shut it down here for the night. I contacted my FM and had delivery time pushed back. I have no idea why it was for 0400 but I was told at the DC that no one would be there till 0600. Any who, down for my 10 and got about 3 hours to drive tomorrow. I have a preplan for a lumber run into Maryland. Under 300 miles and no tarp. Should make it up tomorrow hopefully. Blind you are in my prayers brother.....promise that!

 

yes. White Rabbit is a jefferson airplane song lol

I like Melton. I never worked for TMC, but from what I've learned from here and by talking to drivers, I'd say its about the same...maybe a little more laid back and not as strict when it comes to certain things, but pretty much equal. I've heard stories about drivers going in to DM with dirty cabs and such, and being asked to clean out the trucks. I don't know if thats true, or just driver talk tho... I do know that when you go to our Laredo yard, if your cab is visibly trashy (things on dash, for example), you will be shut down for 24 hours and made to clean up (not clean out lol) your truck. As far as the operations aspect goes, Melton is a 1 day home per week out company, and I think their minimum is 2 weeks out. I didn't really pay attention while they were explaining this, because I don't stay out less than a month and a half. I usually get decent miles every week, and have only had a handful of checks less than $500. I'd say my average take home is 650-900. I think it's really easy to make it here, as long as you're willing to do the work, and I can only assume that it would be the same at TMC

 

I'm still here I just saw the thread tonight though. I'm shut down at the pilot here in knoxville tennessee at the 374. Delivering just south of here tomorrow morning and then heading back towards I went to get another john deere load
