Melton Truck Lines "An elite flatbed company"

Ultimately I believe and trust in Melton 100%. But there is good and bad with flatbed in general. Currently it is slow season. I went from making mid to high 2000 miles to low to high 1000 miles. But it is only a season and will improve. Like all industry to some degree, trucking it is affected by politics, weather, stock market etc...

Melton is a top tier flatbed company that prides itself on safety and going above and beyond. The short cuts that you see other companies doing is not what Melton teaches or does. As a matter of fact I was getting off loaded recently and the crew was helping me undue the straps on the load. They took the metal part of the strap off the trailer and was going to throw it over the load. I stopped them from doing that and told them it was a safety issue because someone could be on the other side and get hurt. They looked at me funny as though I was from another planet. Lol. But they did what I asked and I was and am always appreciative when I get help. An example of above and beyond: a lot of flatbed companies will roll the straps up in the winch on the sides of the bed. But Melton has us roll each strap up and put in the side box. This is so the strap will not get damaged by weather when it's not in use. Putting your straps in the side box during winter and year round is essential for me personally so they don't freeze and make it hard to unroll.

Melton generally cares for its drivers. You will hear and see that mentality throughout the company. From the trucks to the terminals and all over social media you will see Melton's true passion that it has for its drivers.

Melton is a top tier pay company as well. They set the industry standards by constantly improving pay when needed. The pay scale is at the top when compared to other flatbed truck companies.

Are you looking for a flatbed company to drive for? Do you not mind putting in a hard days work securing and tarping? Do you want to see the big cities, small towns and middle of nowhere places of this beautiful country? Give Melton a shot. I know you will not regret it.
