Melton used to be the flatbed division of CFI. Not sure if that is true anymore. I know the Granddaughter of the family that owned CFI had control of Melton. All in all, it was a pretty good outfit.

Melton is a GREAT outfit. Loved it there. My only problem there was the time out on the road, but, my dispatcher there was great when I wanted to get home I was there that day or the day b4. If i didnt have enough days built up, no problem, they let me stay home for the things i needed to get done. This was probably due to the fact that i spent 4-6 weeks out at a time but other times only 3 to get home for a bday or anniversary(all really close together). The only thing I really had to get used to was being paid every 2 weeks, but that may have changed in the past couple years, but once we adjusted it was no problem. Going to Melton was probably the best desicion I ever made in trucking, Leaving them was my worst.

Good luck and hope it works out for you there.
