I too, am considering joining Melton. I am currently Active Duty Military, but as soon as my contract is up I want to get into Truck Driving. From a Beginner's Point of view, Melton's pay scale, updated equipment and opportunity for growth seems like an inviting promise. I have no family to 'come home to', so I plan to drive and drive and drive and drive....
Question is....what are the limits at Melton? Are the miles even good? Are there ways to get more out of the job? Any insight would be appreciated.

That being said I ran for Melton many years ago,and the only thing I didn't like was all the gosh darn tarping!! Oh and the endless sitting if you got out of their primary lane(I-35).Need4Speed and Aamcotrans Thank this. -
Miles can be up and down, but in my experience, they've been great. Very rarely under 2k/week. I've had a few 3k+ mile weeks in the last couple of months. When you do have downtime, get the hell out of the truck or you'll go insane. Go to a restaurant, catch a movie, whatever. I've had weekends in Seattle, Tampa, Miami, Denver, Des Moines where I'll rent a car and play tourist for the weekend. You might get a week under 2k every now and then and you just go with the flow and enjoy chilling out a bit. If you run hard they'll keep you going.
