Mucho gracias ! Exactly the sort of info I was looking for. My wife has a cousin who's been hauling reefer for over 20 years up and down the west coast. I hit him up regularly with questions but he doesn't know a whole lot about flatbed companies.
So who are the major accounts Melton services ? Or in general, what type of materials are they predominantly hauling ? -
I've hauled and my friends have hauled for them anything that'll fit on an open deck really. industrial A/C units, generators, electrical transformers, any kind of steel you could imagine, buckets of glue, lumber, a giant basketball goal, pipe, tractors, bobcats, general machinery, insulation, roofing, loads of hay to Amish farms out in the middle of nowhere etc...
They pull a good variety of things. One of the best friends I made working there was sent into Florida all the time with really strange loads. Florida is an odd place anyway but what he took there would make you laugh sometimes. That's where the giant basketball goal went of course as well as some 4'x4' box that was probably about 8 feet tall. I can't remember what was in it but I remember how goofy it looked upright in the center of a 53' flat lol -
spyder7723 Thanks this.

Remember, I'm not getting into this for the money, home time or an easy job. More than anything I want an adventure. -
