melton 2014 update

Its 3 months OTR anything less you go out with a trainer. I wish I could have went out with a trainer for a week or 10 days. That first month was a huge learning experience having never done flatbed before

 

All set to go. I just need to make up my mind about how much of my truck goods I'm going to take with me. Like my eating tools and all my other lil goods from my last truck I don't want to take a lot but also don't want to go without something's before they get my back near the house.

 

I know they tried to get us all by the house that weekend of orientation to get our stuff so ya may wanna pack kind of light.

 

Ok ok nice to know. I stay in a good freight area Atlanta Ga.

 

They got me home the day after I got my truck on a load that was delivering on Monday about 200 miles away, so I got to spend most of the weekend at the house. Not a bad deal! But I also spoke with one guy who had been driving for 4-5 weeks without getting through home at all. So make sure you have the essentials, just in case, but you don't need to bring everything.

 

any drivers have Sprint? Just wondering as I have had Sprint service for about six years now with no problems.

 

My old company had gps on qc how about Melton

 

Hey guys I just went through orientation this week. If you already have knee pads bring them otherwise you are required to purchase them too. They're only 7 bucks but they aren't the best. Students are required to purchase an Atlas (it's only 10 bucks but it is not laminated.

Half our class had to fly out to pick up their trucks. Melton was nice and asked for volunteers to fly but if you have so much stuff and have to fly it could be a pain. Well sitting in Tulsa for the weekend, hopefully part from cummins comes in Monday morning like it supposed too. No problem though Melton put me in the hotel for the whole weekend.

 

That's news to me about having to buy an atlas. In Birmingham they gave the option to buy their or get your own. The knee pads do suck. Mine are on my shelf and never been worn. Lol welcome aboard.

 

Yea Melton has it. I use the qc, my RM TND 520 and my atlas on every load to be safe and so far so good.
