    Guess what , I am going back OTR . Got a pre-hire thing from Roehl ,they have a terminal in phoenix and I can do a hard schedule of 14 out 7 home. 3 drivers share 2 trucks. Not quite the same as being regular OTR but I am looking forward to it. Pay is a little less, never have to put in for a scheduled home time hence the scheduled part, Truck is governed 63 instead of Melton's 65 and they use EPU's instead of APU's . That being all typed out I have very fond memories of Melton and the guys I met and hung out with there and very positive experiences to build on and hope to continue enjoying the road.

    What did I do for 11 months ?
    Got a local job for a lot less money than OTR, did the same runs over and over to the same places, drove in the same rush hour day after day, picked up and dropped off at the same places over and over( many times back to back runs ) , and had my time micromanaged to where minutes felt like hours someday's , then STILL had to sit at home when no runs were available to be made. I can say I did flatbed OTR and Local and I will take OTR anyday over local.

    why boo ? I think about Melton all the time in my decision , I just know I want to spend more time at home and catch a kids soccer game now and then maybe yell at my 18 year old son more often. Noteworthy thing I forgot to point out. NO BUS , they are flying me to orientation ( starts Monday ). booya

    Hoping not to take away from people looking at Melton. IF I was doing True OTR where you stay out and don't go home often , and want the MOST pay you can get for your time at a big company ( which I like ) I would pick Melton over Roehl. I picked Roehl because they offer a schedule that Melton does not and have a Terminal in Phoenix which Melton does not. If I find out I hate Roehl I will give Melton a call.

    Cannon! It's been a while! I'm looking for work with more home time also. However, I cannot leave Melton at this particular moment. I NEED my insurance as my daughter will be born this month!

    Please, let me know how Roehl works out for you!
