Thank you very much for your kind words

If you want it bad enough, you can deal with ALL of the BS that comes with the entire process from the moment you decide to become a truck driver. From CDL school where they enroll up to 200 students a month and we wait hours between turns at maneuvers and road time, to the training videos we have to watch, and learning how to do paper logs etc. It's a means to an end. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience Sir. Hope to run into you somewhere down the road.

50plus great information I start orientation Dec 6 look forward to starting with Melton every time I check you out it gets me more excited God Bless brother

Totally agree 50+. Using 'mentor' is best. A much better mind set and culture for both the person learning and the one giving guidance (more kind).

Hey 50-plus, thanks for the video, info and encouragement. Also wanted to say im happy u treat all your students in the same respectful manner because your current student looks like he's from the show Undercover Boss 😆. BE CAREFUL!!!

@@50plustrucker I hope you didn’t misunderstand my comment. I made it in reference to a specific moment in your video and it was supposed to convey my respect for how you are setting your mentee up for a successful career by being a trainer that cares about him as a person and the success of your mentee as well as the company.. In my opinion, you are setting the example for your trainee, not only to be a competent and safe flatbedder but to also be a good trainer himself someday and an asset that any company would like to have. You are a mentor that cares about the future of his mentee, the company you both represent and the industry in general. A mentor is a trainer who cares. I was a trainer and mentor for my previous employer for several years before I made the decision to become an owner operator. Keep up the good work and stay safe. I hope I can buy you a coffee one of these days. God bless.

Hey I am 2 weeks out of getting my cdl through swift! Can I request you?

@50plustrucker

2 жыл бұрын

You can but you’ll have to request me through Melton truck lines because I’ve been here for 2 years now. The person who was my mentor at Swift is still training there and his driver code is HENLAR. Use him as your referral and also asked to get him as your mentor.
