    You will NOT get a new truck.

    They have a good safety rating,

    and a lot of business/accounts.

    Decent folks.

    Good Luck

    Melton hires out of Florida, at least in the panhandle. I know this because I used to work for them. But, when I worked for them, I had to stay out 3 weeks because I live in Florida.

    If you get hired on by Cypress... You might want to go to Tallyrand armed! Friend of mine got robbed over there recently.

    New drivers don't get new trucks unless you "know someone". Most newer drivers get the older stuff while the vets get to pick. When I say new I'm taking new to the company not new to trucking
    Our terminal is also off tallyrand, not a nice place at all.

    I live in Ocala, Fl. and I'm slated to start orientation with Melton in Feb.

    The recruiter calls me weekly to #### chat.
