    I start orientation with McElroy on the 27th at the Ennis, Tx terminal; I really like how that schedule is setup... sounds more consistent. Not expecting perfection, but that just seems more organized in my opinion.

    Melton Truck Lines. I live in NC. We run the entire US and Canada. Never have had any trouble getting back home. We also have freight in Charlotte. I have picked up there a few times so you should have no trouble getting back. The pay is pretty good, the DMs are awesome and the trucks are good.

    I do like the Kenworths that Melton has. I like the Macks that BTC has more though. Its just a very powerfull truck man.

    Idk what btc has for engine/tranny, but seems Melton is about a 425/450 with a 10 speed? I just really don't like 10 speeds for flatbedding. Especially with low power I guess. Just seems weird to me, plus that extra half gear in the mountains really helps.

    Honestly try Howard. Other than their trucks being automatics they are awesome!
