    well i am sorry that you guys don't seem to like melton,as for us we have not ever been forced on any load and our dm works great with us. as far as the lease program works no melton does not offer that any more. Sometimes it just seems like some people are not cut out for Flat bed and need to go drive van where there is no work at all jjust opening and closing doors.

    It all works out, my husband and I don't mind the work, ok well sometimes when it's 7*f we have a few choice words to say. That has more to do with the cold than the work though.

    This trip out we are hateing it in general and even if we were pulling a dry van instead of a flatbed, we would still have the same problems. Minus the strapping in sub-zero weather, which hasn't helped, but isn't the main problem.
