Finally at melton

The test starts with everyone standing on one foot for 30 or 60 seconds(I forgot exact time)then switching to other foot.i don't know for sure but I think it checks for vertigo.they don't want you losing balance and falling off load.everyone passed.couple people put foot down but brought it back up.dude next to me was hopping about and I saw him out of corner of my eye and made me start wavering..then they had us lift a tarp from ground to trailer deck using proper form.it was kind of awkward for me,I am 6 ft 2 and used to manhandling stuff,not use to lifting correctly.everyone passed this also.if you have doubts ,go to home Depot and try lifting concrete bag to first pallet rack shelf.should be a good indicator.last test was climbing onto trailer using bumper.the trailer has 3 boxes stacked in step formation.you have to climb up them and then touch top of con x box sitting on trailer.everyone completed and passed.we had 1 round guy and a real short guy 5 ft? And they did it.i don't think any of it was hard.there was nor heart rate monitors involve

 

Thank you.i didn't write this to troll for referall bonuses but it is appreciated.like I said in first post I checked out companies and schools for about 2 years before I got to this point.and there seemed to be a shortage of info on melton.as I said before I don't mean to sound like a fanboy but Melton checked all the boxes for me.i am sure some with more exp will scoff but for me it's a good fit at this time.hopefully I won't have to take off rose colored glasses anytime soon

 

Just realized I had picture of boxes.you don't have to climb on conex box.just touch the top

 

If your out 3 weeks they give you a extra 200 or a extra day off.you can bank as many days off as you want,they never expire.some guys take 2 or 3 weeks off

 

Just realized I forgot exciting news for me.am on my first oversized load.its only 10 ft 4 wide but it still needs permits flags and banners.lpicked it up in Iowa yesterday and headed to texas.while driving today a real oversized came up behind me.hisflag vehicle was in front of me for a bit so I got to pretend it was mine (in my mind)not gonna lie,had a little butt pucker going on while passing the vans.just pictured slicing the sides open like a can opener
