You are partly right. You WILL get conned into helping him tarp and secure. But you will not be conned into doing the logs. He will have a computer to help him with those.

 

LoL, i'd rather do logs. Oh well either way, i like being on the road.

 

January can not come quickly enough!! #### ticket! I feel likes it's January 2009 all over again. I've sat so #### much, I'm getting resets almost weekly at this point.

 

with all the excitement of thanksgiving and christmas, it'll be here in no time. hang in there!

 

Unfortunately, no. I got hired on by Lone Star Transportation 2 weeks ago. Did orientation in Gainesville, TX last week and in Houston right now to do securement training. Melton wanted one ticket to fall off my record before they would hire me. After reading a thread on Lone Star I decided to try them and they called me back the next day. I had to get out of PAM. Too much BS with the new training guidelines and such. You know how that is.The good thing is I won't need to switch companies to learn O-D. Which was my ultimate goal.

I hope to see you guys out there though. From what I understand we pick up at some of the same places for legal loads.

 

I am just reading all the info you all posting, I am considering Melton after my year with PAM is up. I've been on leave since late October for Medical and PAM has been gracious enough to let me be off all this time. I am kinda hesitant on doing flatbed, but I have been reading about Melton and they seem like a pretty good company. I know companies have their pros and cons. I have set-up to talk to a recuiter and I'll keep you all posted on my decision. To current Melton drivers do you run all 48 or certain lanes?

 

Melton is a 48 stater. The only real dedicated or regional we have is Texas. I'm a road recruiter, so I can answer a lot of questions you may have, help you with some info from a driver's perspective before you get with an actual recruiter.

 

Hey there me noggin, I been seeing you post on a lot of threads on here with some pretty good info and interesting stuff. I'm thinking about Melton and a couple other companies but I'm just trying to weight the pros and cons of each company and just gather information about them and you seem like the guy to ask about Melton. Is all there trucks T660 and do they have APUs? And what type of tranny(auto or man.). Also what the starting pay and how long do you go out with a trainer? Thanks man, you app be safe out there this wintery-spring
