melton good or bad

E-logs. How long has it been since you were OTR? And how long were you OTR before going to local?

 

I have been local for 6 months and have 3 years otr as a driver trainer.

 

You should be good then, since you have plenty of OTR and not too long since. As long as it's verifiable, I think most you'd do is a few days with a driver trainer just to evaluate your driving, and to get you some experience with tarping and securement. what part of CA are you in?

 

The inland empire area of LA that is the only problem for me. Is I don't have anywhere to park a truck down here on home time without paying for it

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we hire outta there. I'll check my map tomorrow. And yeah, only place really is Ontario. There are a couple t/s's farther out east but..yeah. That would be your only problem.

 

I have worked for some of the bigger company's before. Like Werner jb hunt. Am I gonna run Ito the same bs with Melton that you do is these over company's

 

You run into the same BS at every company. What kinda bs are you talking about tho...hometime, miles, etc?

 

Being left to sit at a truck stop for days. Never making money cuz of it. Then when oh do get loads it's 100 mile run over 3 days. I know every company has bs. Some have less then others. The only reason I'd come out of a day cab is for better money. So if the miles aren't there.

 

Do you need flatbed experience?

 

oh no, I've never sat for more than a day if i wasnt getting a reset, unless I chose to of course. sometimes you will get stuck with a 400 mile load on the weekend, but not often.

and no flatbed experience is necessary, giltner, just OTR
