With Melton, you will not sit long waiting on a load - most dispatches are given approximately 15 minutes (if not sooner) once you deliver your last load. Unless you're out of hours, or some other rare/strange circumstance.
Detention Pay - Customer gets 3 hours from appointment time, or from when you arrive, to unload or load you. If you are late you get no detention pay.
Detention is usual not an issue, as customers are very good about loading and unloading on time. Getting loaded in a flatbed takes considerably less time than waiting at a dock to get a VAN loaded.
Flatbeds are easy to load, which allows for quick in and out unloading and loading!
Melton uses Trip-Pak - with Trip-Pak boxes at almost all truck stops!
Great reimbursements!
Showers are refundable, if you have to pay for them or you do not have the points to cover them - just send in the receipts. This includes purchases for securement, if the load calls for something special (rare) scale tickets, tolls are also all fully covered or reimburseable.
Melton pays for tolls and all trucks are equipped with EZ-PASS, Oklahoma Pike Pass, Ohio toll-card as well. Prepass is also available upon request.

Home-Time
Melton requires you to be out for at least 2 weeks at a time - and gives you 2 full days of home-time for those 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, you earn (1) day for each additional work week spent out on the road.
Dispatch System
Melton has a unique “on-board” dispatch system that dispatches loads not only by a drivers current location, but their “place in-line” on the driver dispatch board. Drivers send in an “on-board” request via QuailCom once they are ready to be placed into “on-board” status - this is usually done after a driver delivers their load to the consignee . Once on-board, each driver will receive their next dispatch based on location, and their place on the driver dispatch board.
What We Haul
Melton drivers haul it all, and use their vast knowledge of load securement to safely transport customers cargo to its destination (safely and on-time) Types of loads include, but are not limited to: Lumber, Steel, Piping, Machinery, Metal, Steel coils, Aluminum.
