Just about done with orientation. Almost time to roll!

So in other words I forgot to say this. They want me 2 ride 6 weeks with a trainer Times say i drive 3k a week. That's 18K miles times say trainer makes .45 cpm = 8,100.00 Dollars that Trainer with LESS experience than me makes off me. I'll be paid 450 a week during that time , divided by 3K miles = 6.66 cents per mile ...LOL Go figure Now Melton telling me that will cure me and make me safer than before?? Who's the fool here?? Hate to tell them as I will ALL. I'm NOT desperate. I don't have to drive truck or need a truck to live in. I want to come back out cause I can and want to and love it. Was in me all my life and what I know most of . There's a thread today a new driver that went thru half year training wrecked just after going solo. There's no guarantee who with what experience will wreck etc..... They say industry short 500K drivers. Well were here and wanting to but your being told you cant drive if you took a break. Anyway........ is what it is. Thats why I been working on coming out as O/O . I'm done venting and going to go take some BP medicine. LOL

 

Oh so like my last message said your saying a trainer with less experience and a person behind a desk that invented the program knows when he's qualified. I'm NOT talking the talk. Please reread what I said I will on my dime take on any task with your best driver and do as well if not better. Oh by the way Driver just went thru 6 months training and went solo other day wrecked today. So training is a word. No guarantee on wrecking. by anyone at anytime. NOT ####y. Just confident. Just have that trainer get a load near me and give me a test. I pass then call me. If not laugh at me and say I cant even look at a truck. And don't get lippy with me Buckeye cause 90% my family on Columbus and I was born with Buckeye blood. Turn u into a Blue Fan if you don't watch it. LOL

 

Welcome aboard Triad. Based on your Ohio location I assume you went through Masury. Is Joe still their trainer/safety guy? I have had a total of 2 coils since I left training (first load out in Aug and then one Monday), but quite a bit of roofing materials. Been to 38 states in my first 90 days, so they have kept me busy and moving. I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of securement and am getting faster about all of it, but efficient is not a word you would use to describe my system - yet; getting there. All of the Melton drivers I have dealt with are friendly and super helpful, so don't be afraid to ask questions. Also, use your mentor for securement questions, too.

If you see 9118 somewhere in your travels, stop by and say hi.

 

I just started as well. I'm really liking it here and the pay is pretty good. I'm still slow at securement the "Melton" way but I'm picking it all up quickly. I'm in 7644 if you see it. I would like to run in to some guys from the board here.

 

They said "No" to me not so long ago!!

 

Yes what I know about Melton could have consequences if I revealed I just want drivers to know Melton isn't what you think they are. I'll tell you what also if i'd rather work for CRE anyday before working for Melton and that's really bad we all know how bad CRE is. Thanks be safe drivers
