    I been at melton since March of this year and its been good. I just hope the pay was more, but luckily for me i been getting back to back loads. Can't complain just a lot of work that needs to be done 👍

    Wats up Ian. Stumble across your channel wen i was lookin up sruff on melton. I live in Oklahoma and about to start truck driving school and go work for melton after. Is melton a good company and can give a new truck driver any pointers? Keep the videos coming. 🤟🏾

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah Melton was great in my experience! As far as pointers, just always take your time to do everything correctly and safely. All the way from CDL school to when you get on the road, don’t let anyone rush you. Always be safe and smart, especially in flatbed. Good luck!

    how hard is driving in the oil field vs OTR? I was thinking about trying sandbox in ND. Like is it hard to learn? Hard to find the well sites?

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Finding locations in the oilfield is usually easier than OTR because you’ll be on leased ranch property with no traffic and marked roads in/ out of the site. I’d say oilfield it’s definitely easier than OTR flatbed

    Hello!!! Saw your Marten first paychecks video. Thanx. Do you think it's a good first company to work for? They just moved near me in Jurupa Valley. Did they train you or were you trained by a private school first? I am about to start school soon at a private school. Where should I get my first job? Marten? Swift? May? Thanx so much!!!
