I join Melton in a few months- still in school and have to be a part time student because I still need to work, wish it were sooner! Regardless, I’m happy to have found your channel! I hope I get to travel out West like this! Love Arizona. Pretty neat places to see and some nice drives hard work, but from what I’ve seen, a great company that takes care of its people and isn’t afraid to get new drivers out there earning and moving the wheels! That’s what its about! Cheers man 😊
I basically live in Morenci hauling machinery and necessities from Phoenix, Tucson to Morenci, Safford, Green Valley, Tyrone, Bagdad, Chino and all the other mines. It is my best little secret. As an owner op, pulling 7 grand a week into my bank account is awesome.
I must have missed it when you padded your edges and corners. I pulled that load and I almost guarantee you had tatters for tarps at the end if you did not.
Thinking about coming to Melton, do they let you go home right after training to get things for your truck or do you have to go right out to get a load?
Can I ask you how long is that flat bed? It looks too long than normal. Then is it allowed to make the two back axles that far from each other? Hope you ll answer. Thanks 4 the video
They don’t have a CDL training program, but if you get hired here they’ll pay you back for your school up to a certain amount. I’m not sure how much it is they cover but it is enough to recoup the cost of almost any CDL program.
How often do you use your chains? I’ve been working in flatbed in the North East Regional and have yet to touch chains, we seem to only get strap loads. I’m thinking of switching to Melton.
Thanks! I just try to get a little better every day and maintain a positive outlook on everything. That helps me stay calm and learn faster when I don’t know what I’m doing (which is pretty often) Lol
I’m far from being an expert, but my best tips would be: 1- it’s all about the set up, figure out a setup that works best for you and stick with it. Then 2- don’t be afraid to do pull ups and adjust your angle. And when you do pull up, go far enough forward that you can set up a straight back (when possible).
