I ran with Melton for almost two years, great company and elite equipment
I agree. Where you working now?
@@delgadotrucking I’m running night Linehaul for A. Duie Pyle just west of Philadelphia PA. Northeast regional.
System Trans starts at .68 cpm $100 tarp pay and great equipment. Home every weekend if you run regional.
No pets though
Do they hire inexperienced drivers who already have a CDL?
@@a87nomsirrah35 case by case
Thanks for the video buddy. I’ve been thinking hard about Melton and with your detailed video I’ve made the decision to go with them
That's awesome! That's why I do these videos. I wish the best of luck to you.
Also, if you wouldn't mind, give the recruiter my driver code. Deljas. Or you can reach out to me on fb @ delgadotrucking and give me your contact info. I will have a recruiter reach out to you.
Anyways, great decision bud. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I start July 1st .. you still there? Any advise starting out?
When I was in trucking school the Melton panthlet was the only one I kept maybe it was the blue lol
I just got my cdl and I want to flatbed because I eventually want to do heavy haul/wide loads..it was between system transport and melton and I chose to go with melton
Good info. thank you, I try to calculate it with ($.49) but I couldn't. May be with more details with tarps and other factors. Good Info.
Yeah I didn't include tarp pay, but you get the jist
Melton pay is 52 cent per mile now as of 2022 thank me later 😎💰 100 tarp pay
52 cpm for 0-5 Months
53 cpm for 6-11 Months
58 cpm for 1-2 Years
60 cpm for 3 Years or More
Yea in thinking them or Ozark truck lines
I’m starting soon
How do they deal with new fresh out of school drivers?
I love your video man. I’m going threw a program the wioa program so I can get into a community college, which they have a trucking course, so I can get my CDL and starting learn how to drive truck. And Melton truck lines are my first option too.
That's great! Although, I wouldn't recommend a community College. They draw out the program to take way longer than it needs to be. Talk with the people handling the WIOA grant, and they will have some cdl schools that they work with.
Nothing can prepare you more for being on the road, than being on the road.
Goodluck!
Ok I will talk to them tomorrow morning and get it handle for sure.
I start CDL School in 12 days. Im thinking Melton is the way to go.
@@cadillacjack3240 it is to me.
@@cadillacjack3240 good luck with school and if you have any questions or need help. Hit me up
are you a recruiter for them?
No
I got accepted at Melton… are they still worth it or should I find another flatbed company? Have almost 5 yrs driving experience, tanker, Van, Reefer, but just no flat bed experience. Any suggestions?
I highly suggest Melton. Best company I have worked at yet! Congratulations!
Great Video. I start at melton on Monday.
Thank you! Congratulations brother! Hope to see you out here on these crazy roads.
I'm fixing to apply first time ever doing this
That’s awesome! Use me as a referral if you don’t mind. Driver code is deljas
Any advice bud
@@ericmiller1699 yea. Don’t be late while in orientation. If you miss bus, you get kicked out. Learn as much as you can, and ask a lot of questions
@@ericmiller1699 feel free to msg me through my fb page. Link in description
What area does Melton run and can they put you home in? Heard people say you can take a lot of home time if you like to run a long time out. True?
We are an OTR company. So we run all 48. You get a day a week. If you don’t use those days when you go home, you bank them.
Did he say.47 per mile?
Seem like a lot of work and little pay. I graduate in two weeks but them numbers just not right to me starting off. Good luck
You have to start somewhere. Melton has also raised their cpm!
No disrespect brother, but you making $8-9k in 3 months, is no beuno... you should be making $6k/month every month X 3 =$18k/3months... that's pretty...no I'm sorry, REALLY low pay... I was under the impression Melton paid like .60cpm+, am I missing something?
How is 2500 miles good for a week?
How is it not?
Great video 💯😎
Thanks!
Is that including your tarp pay?
Yes
You go home every 2 weeks?
I was told by my recruiter that I would average $1600 per week. Is that true?????
No.
i hope melton is what its cracced up to be, but i kno 49cpm aint gon cut it lol
Lol. I can have a recruiter reach out to you if you like
@@delgadotrucking i actually did talk to one today. thanks
@@412hwc good luck buddy
Does Melton have a CDL program?
Unfortunately no.
That's horrible pay to do OTR flatbed
Who cares about your opinion …gotta start some where
I said the same thing. It’s different if it’s dry van but flatbed?? I would expect MUCH more. Close to 59-62cpm and maybe 3 weeks with 4-5 days home.
@@nicklaaflare1907
You do have to start somewhere. But there’s no sense in doing it cheap. It cost a lot to live on the road. I wouldn’t try anything less than.60. And even that is about middle of the road.
@@tg580 Maverick TMC melton Roehl…there’s not a lot of flat bed training options out there that will take an unexperienced driver for flat bed unless it’s maybe private . When I use to do OTR I grocery shopped and meal prepped before going OTR. So I’m trying to see how much is a lot…yeah it’s an underpaid industry ..but a lot of folk are spoiled too
Let’s be real ..I’m speaking for being W2 ..majority of drivers aren’t making .65+ a mile with under a year of experience doing OTR not including bonuses . Unless you got lucky and found an Arab in Chicago somewhere
Hello brother, I’m in the process of getting my CDL and want to join this company. I already applied and July latest should get my CDL license
That’s awesome! I started in July. Let me know how things go for you brother.
@@delgadotrucking i will keep you posted brother. I’m currently watching your other videos 😁
@@K1ngw1n that’s great! Thank you for your support and I hope my videos help you make an educated decision. Best of luck to you bud.
@@delgadotrucking 🙏🏿
Not my experience at all
You need to be careful lying to people based on your experience alone brother!!!
I did over 3000 miles in a week too and my biggest check was like 1400 bucks
You are obviously a new driver and haven’t been trucking long
First off. The video is 9 months old, so before you start accusing me of lying, please elaborate on what exactly I lied about. Secondly, I clearly displayed my pay. Net pay is different for everyone based on a ton of different variables. I have never lied in any of my videos. What’s the point.
@@delgadotrucking the lie is saying that Melton is an awesome company.
When I make videos about a company I never go one sided like that without telling people the whole truth.
Your video is lopsided in favor of a company that treated me like Crap
I’m glad that you haven’t had the bad experiences that I have with your FM and Load planners
Mine put me on loads that had me running illegal and unsafe and even though I warned them before hand, they made me run them anyway so I quit
@@seancahalinchristianbrothe1400 I’m sorry Melton treated you like crap.
Yes, I admit, the video is biased. I work at Melton and Melton treats me good. Therefore, to me, Melton is an awesome company. You are also biased on your opinion towards Melton as well. You feel Melton treated you wrong, so you don’t think Melton is a good company to work for.
The video is about sharing my experience within the 3 months that I have worked there for. It’s my experience and my opinion. These “opinions from myself and other creators, give people enough information for them to make their own opinion on whether they want to work there or not. I am entitled to my opinion brother sorry you disagree
@@delgadotrucking well you are still in the Honeymoon phase of that company
My first 3 months were awesome as well
Think that may change when you get closer to 6 months
In my observations about Melton, they treat you well for 3 months to sell you on an illusion to build confidence and trust. After that they slowly pull the carpet out from under you.
After month 3 and into months 4 5 and 6
My miles went to crap, they put me on horrible loads and treated me like garbage.
I think they do that after a while so that they can give the good loads to the newer drivers coming in so that they can do the same things to them later.
Maybe I have it all wrong but I have 6 and half years of driving experience with 4 of them being in flatbed so I can see their tricks pretty clearly.
@@seancahalinchristianbrothe1400 I just dropped a 3800 mile load brother and I have been here for 10 months. Again, Melton is treating me great and we all have different experiences.
How hard is the physical work of tarping? I just got accepted into the orientation but I’m still thinking if it’s right for me or not. I driver concrete mixer trucks right now.
You’ll be ok bud. It’s a lot of work and you have to enjoy it or you won’t stay, but after you get used to tarping, it’s a breeze. Good luck!
It’s not bad if you have the right equipment. I don’t work for Melton so I can’t say if they are good or bad. But equipment and the type of loads make all the difference.
Just a question, why are you getting started at 10am? Is that the time you like to run? I'm sure melton has earlier loads that can start up earlier than that. I get started at 4 am every morning but that's just me as a driver.
I typically start around 9 on days I’m not unloading and getting loaded. Days I’m unloading, I start as early as possible to get under another load
@@delgadotrucking I understand every driver is different with the times they start, I have to start no later than 5 am every morning 4 am is my time tho, good info on melton I'm thinking bout coming over got 3 years experienced driving but tired of the door swinging it's gotten old and boring.
Why do you care what time someone starts? Mind your own business
@@ufp1701 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That recruiting $ about to hit different
What do you mean? Lol
Who is your dm?
Macy
how come your voice and your mouth are not same timing looks like melton hired actor to lie
Lmao. That’s on your end buddy. Stop watching so much porn.
How often do you get home? Can you get home every weekend if you want to with that company?
No. I believe it’s a minimum of 3 weeks out. You earn a day of hometime for every week you are out.
Melton is a OTR company. If you’re wanting to get home every weekend, a local gig would be what you are looking for.
Flat bed at 0.49??? Are you kidding me? Go to any russian company and their dry van jobs start at 0.65. People have to realize when current rate is at avarafe 2.5 per mile and paying poor employees 0.49 that's a disgrace
If you can past the insurance requirement.
Most companies don’t want to pay a premium for insurance, so they restrict they choose the issuance plan that only allows them to hire people with 2+ years of experience.
Russian companies pay the higher insurance rate and don’t care about the experience level?
thats without stop/tarp/ anything else and to START
Russian? Wtf lol
You made $9,000 in a quarter. So $36,000 a year? You do realize with the rapid increase in inflation over the past year, that’s nearly in the poverty section, right?
I average 1200 a week net. That’s 62000 a year. Not quite poverty sir. That was my first quarter when I was new and learning how to flatbed. I do see where you are coming from though
@Easy trucking what company you at ?
@Easy trucking where you work at
And why not to show your real pay stubs like other instead showing weirdly populated excel spreadsheet where gross is less than net
I explained why in the video. If you don't like it then move on player
Ok, but why di you work for a company that pays nothing . Flatbed job company drivers in avarage are getting paid $1 per mile
@@mikos1986 Name me a company name that's paying a company flatbed driver a dollar a mile. I'll wait.
Consider O/O job, rates are $2.5 per mile in avarage. Do your math. 0.35 is nothing...
@@mikos1986 I’d rather make make slightly less money without any of the stress of owning a truck
