Hey thanks for being out there moving stuff for us
@@zachz699 much love to you
You have good info
Painful to watch. We was getting robbed at Melton. Old ass folks maybe getting a pay day training. Truth is you need those bodies to get trained and do the heavy hauling. My man Terrance educating, but do the thang. Great starting shot under 50 bit you gonna need to move in to make the money.
@@flatbedmike1 hey brother, I feel you and I understand what you’re saying you are a truthful, brother. I believe we do probably the best job at training new flatbed drivers and it’s truly a passion for me, but you are correct if the time comes and you’re ready to move forward the big money isn’t in inwhat we’re doing here
@@50plustruckerbrother there’s a home with the big pay checks and blue cross blue shield over here in the sweet sweet home of Alabama and that southern sweet regional.
@@50plustrucker my worst paycheck here was my best in after 3.5 years at Melton. School the kids but let them be known….. there’s $2k after taxes out there without having to house some clown training and I got buddies training the clowns. You got to be the best though. Handle horsepower and 10 hours sleep and go. Now is your a lazy boy or girl and need your ass wiped Melton is good to go. 500 miles and 8 hours and above that you are the king and queen of Melton. You want more and be a beast and a real trucker, Melton is proving grounds. Be a bad ass, they come for you. Big T could walk into any company and he chooses Melton and schools. Respect. You want to bite you got to swim with the sharks.
@@flatbedmike1 do you mind if I ask you what company you’re with now?
@@50plustrucker not with the Melton mafia watching. But I’ll tell you this. It’s ex Melton guys. Both owner operators and company guys. Now the company I’m with respect Melton and only search for ex Melton crew as Melton do produce the best. But it’s a secret club of who you know and no it’s not race based or anything but character based. You’ve met me and my connect was ex Melton. It’s the secret money maker flatbed club ☠️
Not a good video
Sorry you didn’t like it
if you didn't like it don't comment on it 👍
What’s keeping the mesh tight since you have the straps under it?
Ok never mind what’s the yellow strap going horizontal?
@@jamesallen6881 the yellow is apart of the mesh but I used a bungee to hold until I thought the straps
Looking forward to some uploads!!! Safe travels
Gotta check out eastern side of Milton
Love this!❤
I have to thank you. I tested in a dry van then went to a flatbed company the following week & it felt like I had to unlearn what I was just taught & learn how to back again. My trainer helped but you really helped me with setup !
@@devonbass5010 that’s awesome and if there’s anything I can do to help you definitely definitely reach out and I’ll do anything I can
I just turned 52 and I worked in the transportation office environment for 25 years. just got my CDL and I start with my mentor in about a week. So excited. So long office political drama hello freedom on the open road with my dog ❤
this is pretty cool. When did Melton start doing Simulators?
@@WhiteLineFever1999 thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed the video
5 years in the game. First month flat bed. Thank you so muc
@@willandretti2225 reach out to me if you need anything if you have any questions if I can help, I definitely will

All that running n u still running 49 cents a mile lol...

This is most hell yea place to have podcast on
@@Vig-oh thank you very much, I’m working on having a set schedule
Many thanks 50 +, I'll be heading to orientation shortly.
@@johnmalone3256 that’s great news brother please keep me posted on your journey. When you make it to orientation, let me know through one of the latest video posts or you can always hit me up at 50plustruckertalk@gmail.com.
i mean. i am always a hour or so early at all times.if ur on time ur late.
@@412hwc exactly and I’m sure you get more loads and better paychecks than the gas tend to just make it before they’re late or actually show up late. If you can’t get there a half hour at least before your appointment time your probably late most of the time. Keep that mindset brother and you’ll do great things.
@@50plustrucker well, when tha market is stable and things working as they should, yes first empty means first with a new load....but shoot for tha past two years all ive been is first in a parking spot after i get empty😂😂. i usually make it work tho. i can usually book something before noon just almost every week i end up working night shift.
Not only am i telling a dude i dont swing that way, im finna get up and leave and never hang around that dude evwr again
Always check your videos before uploading just a tip ;)
@@fanta5848 yup, The shorts are generated with AI technology, and it does a good job and sometimes it’s subpar. I don’t always review them. I just auto post Short but I think you’re right. I may need to play closer attention and I really do appreciate you.
Can’t hear ya
@@Diddyisinnocent-h9z thanks for telling me, I don’t know why it recorded so little that’s weird
Many thanks 50 Plus. Hopefully I'll be ahead of the game when I start orientation this Monday. Maybe I'll see you there.
The best mentor in the game💪🏾🏅🏅
@@lawrencethegoodsaint1129 I’m proud of you brother you’re doing good things
I have to learn one day , ill be trucking when i get a bit older. Cant wait! Good lesson 50!
@@nickl3872 I’m glad you’re excited about it brother just keep that excitement going. Before you know it, you’ll be out here burning fuel and make it a healthy living for yourself.
Straight line back… also for dark docks use a flashlight 🔦… that’s how I did it when I was a trucker. It guides me in. Like a plane landing at night.
@@GuestTH-camUser yes flashlights work great and when I’m empty, I’ll use the load lights unless someone’s on the dock and I made blinds them with the light
Looks easy
@@GuestTH-camUser that’s because I’ll make it look easy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for commenting on my video and yes, it definitely gets easier overtime
Good advice, as always!
Many thanks, I'll be hitting orientation in a few days, probably gonna be wearing the tread off these videos until then
@@johnmalone3256 reach out to me if you have any questions. Congratulations on your journey.
Thanks 50, i always give you a thumbs up.
@@nickl3872 thank you so much, brother. I really truly appreciate you.
I won't have a personal vehicle my first run so this may be useful
Stoked to meet you in Houston. Thanks for the videos. They helped me a ton👍. Tim.
@@NoahandJustus619 thank you brother and much love to you
Brudda I feel likeI found a long lost family member hearing you talk. Keep it real. I'm 55 and start school in three days
@@TDubKong well hello there, my cousin I’m glad you found me. Along your journey you’re gonna have some questions so reach out to me if I can help you. Keep in mind 55 years old is a premium in this business. You’ll be highly sought after so all you have to dois get through the classes and get your CDL
A pity Coleman did'nt demand better quality fan mtrs! How CHEAP IS that. My flea mkt Coleman cooler w single motor dbl shafted design pooped out after only a few days! Those little motors a HASSle to find! I bet a decent hobby shop wld have something simular???
@@stephenbaker3680 yup Amazon also
Great content 👌 when you get a chance can you check your email. . On so info . Thanks
Great upload!!
@@nathanhollis8496 thank you brother. I hope everything is rolling well for you.
Tips Adjust your space so you have equal distance on each side of your truck. Give yourself an hour and 45 minutes to find sufficient parking. Pull forward as far as you can before starting your turn. Watch your tandems and turn your steering wheel at the speed that your tires are rolling. Rookies don't job hop because companies like Melton will turn you down like they did me. Pick an established company like Melton and stick with it. Trust me, you won't regret it if you get it correct the first time. Be safe, arrive early, and always remember that communication is key.
@@ConvertibleCreed holy cow Brother it’s very rare that someone comments on a social media video with such profound wisdom, and I truly appreciate you please subscribe and comment as often as you can when you’re commenting with so much wisdom it’s greatly appreciated
Great video!
Very refreshing video. easy going and positive. All I seem to see with a lot of other videos is a bunch a negativity from the younger generation. I am 52 and just signed up for CDL class. I have been a welder for the past 15 years and want to get out from under it. Welding is truly going to kill people in the long run. So, I am just looking for a new career. Driving a truck seem right up my ally.
Nah something is off. This guy would make me very uncomfortable. He might be experienced but he’s not the experienced driver I want teaching me.
Dude I love the videos, I’m starting this Monday, can I request you as my trainer?
@@Hasib7 you sure can and just let them know as soon as you get to the training department
@@50plustrucker what name or driver code do I tell them, anything along those lines
@@Hasib7 SMATE driver code you can tell them 50 Plus
I will be starting Flat Bed trucking with Trans Systems in about 10days or so and I am a 47 year old woman. I can only hope I get a trainer as thoughtful and as well suited for training as you are!! I am super excited.
@@lapdogg thank you for your kind words and you’re going to do just fine. I’m not familiar with that company, but I’m sure you’ll be able to excel in whatever you put your mind to.

That's complacency. Simply put.
Why waste ppls time with this bs, nothing too learn here.
Thank you 50
If he needs help with his veteran disability percentage tell him hit me up… I’m thinking about getting in a truck as well if I don’t have to lift anything crazy !!! life is too short not to live and invest in family if you have them… if not then why not invest in self and save and invest or create and flourish all off of transportation truckin….
