    My aplogies if this has been covered... Just a quick question: I've stayed away from drugs my whole life, have a clean MVR, and no convictions of any sort. I understand that Milton does a hair follicle drug test. Do they take a sample from head or body? I've got plenty of head hair, but my girl likes me to keep everything neatly trimmed from the neck down. The reason I'm asking is that I've heard rumors that if you show up with no body hair, they mark it as a refusal to test and that goes on your DAC. Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for posting your experiences. It helped me decide to pull the trigger and go with them. I'm heading to the sept 8 orientation. Just hope to get a good instructor like you did.

    where are you taking orientation?

    i can only speak for tulsa, it was a good experience and masury because i picked up my truck in masury and the guys there were really nice.

    now melton is starting at .37 cpm when i started it was 33...so definitely dont think youll get that starting anywhere else.

    I'm flying into Tulsa for orientation. Are steel toed boots required or running shoes ok? I was looking between Mcelroy (.43 cpm starting but no tarp pay) , Averitt (.36 cpm pulling a box) and Melton ( .37 40 tarp plus extra for hazmat and canadian runs)

    In the end chose Melton for numerous reasons (including your experience) but the rider policy at Melton versus the others sealed it for me. I have a long time girlfriend. She expressed interest in riding from time to time and with Melton that would be ok even though we aren't marrried. With most companies, it is spouse only.

     
    VdotFoxx Thanks this.
