I'm trying to decide what flatbed company I want to work for out of these choices: TMC, Roehl Transport, Melton Truck Lines. I'm getting out of the Army in less than a year and will be moving to the Bristol, TN area when I get out. Just having a tough time deciding between these three companies.
TMC, Roehl, or Melton?

I drove for Roehl in the dry van division. It wasn't a horrible place to work. Not Many miles with them though. I would try out TMC or Melton First. Also, with Roehl. If there are no flatbed loads you will be taking out all the tarps, chains, etc... to reduce weight to haul a van. So with Roehl you will be loading up the flatbed equ. when there are flatbed loads and unloading flatbed equ when there is not to haul a van. Their equipment isn't really awesome either.
cody.hicks.19d Thanks this. -
I drive for Melton and they're treating me well so far, but out of TN, look in to Loudon County Trucking. I have a cousin down there who did pretty good driving for them a couple years ago.

I'm with "stingdar" on this; Melton or TMC.
Melton has excellent healthcare plan for driver & family.
Superior Carriers does lots of work around Kingsport if tankers interest you. -
Thanks, not really wanting to do tanker, eventually want to go into heavy haul, that's why I'm set on doing flatbed.

If you're over 23 years old and in the hiring area, TMC would be my first choice, then Melton. That's me, though.
Best of luck to you! -
Thanks, yeah I'm over 23, it's been a WHILE since I've been that young lol
