    Melton doesn't play games with your pay, either. Same cpm empty or loaded, regardless of distance, unless it's very short, in which case you get a flat bonus. Not huge, but something. $50 tarp/untarp so you at least get paid for your part of it even if you repowered it with the tarps on. I talked to a swift driver the other day and he said his goes up and down. I don't see how anybody could be okay with that, but maybe they don't know that it isn't like that everywhere.

    Yeah that's kinda my thought.i came in anticipating mid 60s first year.on paper it's achievable.my load securement eats up my time.lumber and flat steel I do in a reasonable time frame it's the multi tier and oddball loads that kill me.i think I do ok on clock management.try to save every min of drive and on duty I can.had about 4 or 5 hour road delay on Thursday in Louisiana and still playing catch up from that.melton doesn't allow the two hour exemption for unforseen circumstances

    YeA the pay is definitely good for a training co,it's even better then some of the non training companies.if I get my load delivered on Monday before cut off I think I will be in neighborhood of 3000 miles and 2 tarp pays.some places might pay more but don't give you the miles.i try to look at big picture
