Thanks for the heads up bro. I’ll be starting Monday over there and I value your input
Let me know if I can help you
People.... romanticize trucking.Trucking is a very dangerous profession.Right up there with the army and construction.
True
Hey 50 plus it’s Walter from Houston could you give me a call when you get this, I have a 79 Mazda rx7 and need some assistance
How about Halvor Lines for newbies?
If they hire new drivers and they are hiring in your area, it might be worth looking into it. Compare their benefits, and if you can quiz one of their drivers, that will be the best way to get accurate information.
I’ve already researched the company and they have really good reviews for trainees. I was just trying to see if you had heard of them and asking for your input. I’m not sure how I would be able to quiz one of their drivers prior to starting. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you for your response 🙏🏽
intro is so cringe
Maybe but it’s served me well over the years
Aye Sir just Use Corners that you have on the Trailer. And you should not be Trapping it's not Raining, Strap down and go Period.
Respectfully, I’m not sure you’re a driver or just interested in the culture but keep in mind. We tarp for many reasons not just because it’s going to rain. We tarp to deter theft and it protects the load from wind damage during transport. The list of reasons are long.
I worked for melton for 6 months it was exiting being a new driver and all but my dm was stupid she sent me a load that was 80 miles away I get there and it was to late to load up so I had to come back the next day so I get there the next day and get loaded up I secure my load and tarp it. My dm was blowing up my phone once I got in the truck I saw I had a miss call from her I call her back and she tells me that load was a mistake and was a load that was given to another driver the day before and to head back to the truck stop where I was at in the beginning for the weekend, turns out the load I got loaded with belongings to the owner operator that helped me tarp up that load Long story short I got tired of the bs so I quit
Where are you now? How’s it going?
Systems transport I run west coast regional fleet California Oregon and Washington two weeks out and 2 days home melton started us off at 52 cpm systems starts off at 58
I want to get back into trucking.....would you give up 20 years of driving a truck??
I’m sure you can get back in
Its a domestic....my wife threw me under the bus!! One year ago....and now im homeless and she playing the victim....ok....what about me??
You can still get in
Man i need to meet u.
Great vid, im coming to Melton next week. Done with reefer, too much sitting at shippers
I’ve been there done that 🤣 sitting cost $$
@@50plustrucker just wondering do I have to pay for the equipment? And if so how does that breakdown if you know?
@@royalmac1011 most of the equipment is paid for by the company was not paid for by the company is personal items
Where can i see the full podcast
ruclips.net/video/ysj4yu6T3oU/видео.html
Wouldn’t it have been easier to go right a little up past those cones then come back at an angle? 📐
Yes but we’re practicing 90° parking
Last year....in may...my first felony.....now how am I going to get a job with that on my record
You still can
How do you check with companies....that will except you....cuz you have a felony on your record??
Hit me up via email 50Plustruckertalk@gmail.com
I just scribed
Thank you so much, my friend. I truly do appreciate you.
Thank you for inspiring me to become a truck driver. I’am 58 but, I have to take the Dot and I’am on medication and I hope everything will go smoothly
I take hot blood pressure meds and I also take cholesterol meds. Don’t be afraid you may take different meds than I do but this industry is very forgiving, so stay positive and I’ll see you on the road burning fuel very soon.

Thank you 🙏🏾
I pray my trainer is as gentle as you!! You’re seasoned and awesome brotha!!💪🏾💪🏾
Thank you 🙏🏾 very much
Great video,I started on the 27th
I'll see you there! I start May 27th as well!
You guys have made a very good decision coming to Melton. Just hang in there and you’ll thoroughly enjoy it. Remember it’s work, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be hard work.
Good stuff here. Exellent trainer.
Next week i about to go to my orientation, can i request you as my trainer please
Congratulations for making a jump to come this way. When you get to orientation, just let them know you would like to train with me and hopefully it’ll work out.
Thank you so much!!
I was 58 when I started. That was in 2023... 😀
Do shorter trailers require more input and precision? Or am I just imagining that they're more difficult when they're not
How much would I pay for a good set of tarps
I paid $700 almost 5 years ago
Thanks for this video. I'll be 56 in few more days and I'm sitting on the fence on this. Tired of working indoor in buildings. You gave me some insight + hope. 👍
A pension is good benefits, not 401k
Agreed👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I start my meltion training in a few days i want you as my trainer
Heading to Tulsa this Sunday 💯
You’re gonna have a great time

American truck simulator. Watch me Friday night 7 PM live on the blue Knight table. We drive the simulators.
Jmo here but always straight back when possible... especially pulling a spread.
That’s wisdom right there
@@50plustrucker haha..thank you..yeah been truckin in my 33rd year now...all most drivers seem to know today is the 90 degree back..even in a spread!..more than 20 years in flats and drop decks...good luck to ya...keep your chrome shiny.
😬 Promo`SM
Your definitely an awesome trainer. I have been watching your videos for over 3 or 4 years now. I have enjoyed the videos that you have made. I am fortunate to have been backing since I was 10 and it helped me out a lot when I went to get my CDLS. I know most people don't have the opportunity like I did growing up and backing trailers in a lot of different places. You are definitely right about learning the movement of the truck and trailer being one of the first things to learn over Hitting the target. If someone can't understand how it all moves then they will never make it work. I do have a question about spilt tandems. Is it true that you are not supposed to 90° back those?
Thank you very much for your kind words and for being a subscriber for so long it’s truly appreciated. Spring axles are extremely difficult to perform a 90° back, especially when you have a heavy load. Remember the forward set of trailer tandems will slide they don’t participate in a turn like a rear tandem would. The front tandems create a lot of resistance so you have to be extremely cautious performing that maneuver
@@50plustrucker you are welcome. I look forward to many more amazing videos. I thought that was the case. I was watching a driver trying to 90 at a truck stop and looked like his was about to turn over his trailer. He was loaded pretty high with wood and almost turned it over a time or 2 before he moved to let the driver across from him leave . I could tell just by watching that the front set didn't like to slide much and kept digging in. Thank you for the reply and be safe out there.
@@dracomille13 much love
Bro. Do you have a facebook page or account that I can follow? I saw you get featured on Yt! I'll tag you.
Awesome!!
Thank you for watching so faithfully
gonna have to listen to you on my runs 50

Great podcast. Keep up the good work. Where can I find the extended?
Live right here on Friday nights at 7pm. Enjoy my friend we are just getting started. New show
@@50plustrucker copy that! Thanks.
I'm 50 and I'm on my way out there. Had to put my life long dream on hold until the boys got grown and moved out the house. I'm getting my permit this Wednesday and signing on with ROEHL to get the OTR experience.
50 plus the man the myth the legend. I’ve heard very good things about you and I hope your my trainer when I show up there may 9th
Good evening to ya, let’s keep our fingers crossed maybe it can happen
Thanks 50 your videos are really helpful I wanted to go to melton but they said I needed experience going to another company but I can still take your wisdom with me.
Anything you want me to do a video on I’ll definitely help you
Thanks for taking the time to post this video!
Thank you for watching
Does melton hire out of Maine?
That’s a great question and I’m not sure of the answer but inquire through the link in the description I have down below and somebody will respond to you if you hadn’t gotten response within 24 hours hit me up again and I may be able to get that answer for you. Also check back and if I find out before you respond, you’ll get an update in this link.
@@50plustruckerThank you!
Heyyyyy now
I only have been getting 1 a day, and sometimes zero. I’m so frustrated with the 45
Don’t give up. If you’re struggling the most common mistake is turning while the truck isn’t moving or simply turning too much
Hey how did you like melton trucking?
I’m still here I love it
That’s great I had a question for you. Hopefully you have the answer lol. If I’m in Arizona would I get more loads on the west coast.
@@Faithcreatesasolidfoundation actually, they don’t base your loads off of where you live unless you’re going home for Hometime
Hey just wanted you to know I’m out Orr with trainer from melton. Doug Eichorn great person overall this is a great company ima be sticking with all praise to god
@@Faithcreatesasolidfoundation ❤️ that’s wonderful news keep me posted
