    Keep us updated! Although I'll never bee a trainee on a truck again, I'm interested in how the trainers run the truck. Maybe one day I'll decide to train.

    How were the first couple of days? What type of testing have you gone through? I've got Melton on my short list....they seem to be a real stand-up company, and I hear they treat Veterans real good as well. Also curious about their trucks....do they have APU's and Inverters......I've heard confliucting reports on that.
    Thanks! and keep posting about your training!

    Yep, they all have APU's with 1500W inverters . My trainer had a powerstrip already ran for me.
    My trainer is a good guy. We get along great so far. Waiting @ consignee for a wrecker to take this van were delivering off the trailer.

    Excellent!! I've read, on various postings, that flatbed companies require their drivers to do some type of "agility" testing.....does Melton, and if so, what did it consist of?

    Thanks for the info!!
