Dang dude ! Sorry man , yeh lots of places hiring for sure good luck !

I have been thinking about starting out with Melton. I don't think I would have trouble with the work and the weather. My concern is being asked to back when I have no training. It may be better for me to start out with a company with better driving training.

Hello, Melton sends you out on the road with a trainer for 3 weeks and they will get you up to speed. With flatbed we don’t back all the time like a box truck. But the spread axle makes it harder. I’m finally getting the hang of it so you can do it ! They will work with you in the yard if you feel you need it. Good luck !

Watching this now has me nervous as hell about getting sent home.. the work doesn’t scare me.. it’s the part when you said if you hit a cone they will send you home & if you don’t learn the logging that they will send you home

Yeh, they for sure sent some dudes home for the driving test and the time Logs. The driving isn’t too terrible and the logs are doable if you keep up with it. Just listen and learn from the log book mistakes the first few days, then work hard to get it right the last few days and you should be good. Good luck !

Yeh buddy that’s one of the main reasons I chose Melton ! Of course I haven’t tried it yet since I have only been driving 6 weeks now . Glad you found the Channel I watch all your videos!

How many days do you get spend home before you get your first solo load?

@paulstone4804

10 ай бұрын

You are going to be gone from home for 5 to 6 weeks with all the training. Once you solo out and finish training you will get a truck. You get a load hopefully heading in the direction of your house. They send you home that first load pretty much. They work with you and do a good job on this too.

They pay good??

@@stevo6891 nothing about this job is "hard" per say. You can't be a 350lb beached whale that can't lift 90 lbs up onto a trailer, you most definitely need common sense, and you have to be willing to put your ego aside and listen to the people who are putting in the effort to teach you how to be safe when securing loads. But besides that, anyone can do this job if they want it bad enough. I'm doing it because it's a stepping stone when getting into specialized hauling, if it's just going to be a paycheck, I wouldn't recommend it. If it's something you REALLY want to do, go for it brother. I don't know you from Adam, but I'm sure you can do it if you put your mind to it. Nothing to be afraid of.
