    I do not think Melton has great home time, at least from the Melton drivers that I have talked to, other than that an excellent company and from what I have seen, you are not trained to secure and tarp very fast, so there is no added pressure even if you are holding up the entire line.

    Don't look like you're ready to take the big plunge.So I would wait till you're 100% ready.
