    Melton Trucklines has a Terminal in Birmingham. Melton trucks go 64mph which is frustrating and you will in a mega company again. Maybe you don’t mind that.

    You can get good training on flatbed with Melton. I stayed with them for exactly 2 years and no regrets. I won’t go back but still, no regrets.

    Hornady also has guaranteed weekly pay; can make more, but not less than the guarantee; $1200.00 weekly. Website says they're committed to diversity, so they must haul a variety of freight.

    That mean transgender or gender non-specific is a plus.
