    Realisticly what kind of miles do you get a week? Do they run legal?

    All trucks have E-logs. Mileage varies obviously, but realistically, you can get between 2000-2500 on average.

    Does Melton allow dogs in the truck?

    Hey Melton guys. Can any of you guys tell me how the 07 century's were. I'm looking at buying one. Just want to get an idea on how they pull and any other compliments/complaints you may have on them.

    I drove one for a while, and I hated giving it up. If it wasnt for the castration, it would have been a great truck. I averaged 5.8-6 mpgs, but I always had it to the floor. When my radiator started overheating, and I had to let off the throttle going up slopes, I was actually getting close to 6.5 mpg. They are good trucks, very well maintained. In my opinion at least. I'm sure you can find another Melton driver that had one who will give you complete opposite of what I said.

    Dogs are allowed, up to 50 pounds, and if not one of the "aggressive breeds". There is a deposit you have to pay, I think its $700, maybe more, that they will take out of your check like $50 a week or something like that...

    Thanks for the reply. This truck has been cleaned on for day it looks. New leather seats, everything polished. Looks almost show room new. If I knew how to post a pic I would.

    Yeah, Bob likes to get his resale value out of his old trucks. He will put a little money in them to get a little more out of the sale. All the discounts he gets on parts, he probably doesnt spend that much to refurbish lol
