what i know
They pulled my buddy in a month or so ago. Told him we need to discuss 3 things.
1) we need you to stay out 3-4 weeks at a time (was told if you come back you can be home every weekend) 2) we need to cut your pay ( he was offered upwards of .45 cpm safety and other bonuses included to come back to work for them a year ago.) 3) We need to swap your truck. (They gave him a million mile award drivers truck, very very very nice) and give you a company truck. He walked. |
i cant seem to find anything on melton :roll:

Promised 2000 to 2500 miles=more like 1000. Alot of layover and a strict fuel policy makes it imposible to make your bonus.
And dont expect to get home when you want. I put in 3 weeks notice for my dad's 65th birthday,(something that only comes once in a lifetime) and guess what? They wanted me to sit over a 3 day weekend, unloaded in TN with no garantee they would even get me a load to FL after labor day weekend. I quit for that reason. They talk a good game that they care about driver's home time but it's not true. In fact they never got me home on time and when a special event came around they said to me "we cant control the freight,and you know we cant get you home right now".=bye bye Melton. I have been in the business for 10 years so dont think i'm a newbee that doesnt know how to manage a route and meke money for the company.. Melton is overextended and cant keep you busy. Dont do it. :evil: |
Not sure what area you live in,buy my hubby drove for Maverick.He was satisfied with them.Was home nearly every weekend.If you needed to be home they always got him home on time.Might check them out.

TMC and Maverick are both better than Melton from what I read.
Ive talked to a few Melton drivers and they all seemed to not get enough miles. tootie |
Dont do it BUG, you'll regret it.
PM me if you want the full detail. :twisted: |
