Bro new sub here and follower! im doing my due diligence on which company i wanna start with and get my cdl with. I really like your content man keep it coming. Ive got so many questions for you brother! where you from?
I'm currently with Melton. How do you know where your at on the load board? I know they put out the map showing the loads available per state.
Hi there. I'm the owner of Trucker Calculator software, we teach truckers to control their money. Would like to post ads in your channel, is it possible?
Are you allowed to vape while driving ? And is there any woman drivers
@@CherryBeautyy as far as I know vaping is allowed. And yes there are quite a few female drivers at Melton
Ever get tired of Melton brother, come to TMC. We don’t chase those miles unless you want to. Some guys hate on them but they’re pretty decent.
How many miles do u have per week?
2,688 last week. 2,469 this week. On average overall I’d say it’s about 2,500
@@ianelbert do u think melton orientation and training is hard? Or they can fail people?
@@sonofgod6389 If you have a basic understanding of maneuvering a truck, and show you’re willing and able to learn you’ll be just fine. I personally didn’t find it difficult, but about half of every orientation class fails. Mostly due to drug tests or having a bad attitude, from what I’ve seen.

I just got a call from them today plus they ask did I have all my endorsement I told them yes so they boost me up $.70 cents can’t wait
Start my first day of orientation with melton monday ! wish me luck! lol Love the videos bro keep grinding!
@@StoicVee good luck! Thanks for the support
Can you do a video for what all you need as a new OTR flatbedder
are you a owner operator?
@@JayStation-x9k nope I’m a company driver
Do Melton trucks come equipped with APUs?
@@christopherraymond2316 I believe most of the fleet currently has them, and Melton is phasing out all the trucks that don’t
Did you make a video talking about why you went back OTR from oilfield? I am in North Dakota right now hauling sand
@@JJason406 no I don’t think I’ve talked about it in a video. But the main reason I left was because I didn’t like the work schedule. It was basically on call 24/7 unless I was on hometime
Do they do a hair, follicle preemployment drug test or just urine?
Thank you sir
Dealing with recruiting already shown me this company is trash and not worth my time.
Great Keep up the Good Work and make that money.
Which app is that?
Nice to see you have one of those "I can't drive that car - it has a stick shift!"😆😆😆
I thought they just give you the loads what happend with the weekand load?
@@christianfiguroa7147 I guess that one was just scheduled to ship on Monday
For the sign on bonus, did you have to ask about that? Have you spoken to any regional guys, I know they don't drive as much, but they tarp/ secure more loads from what I have been reading. Im in FL so I was considering the East Coast Regional, thanks man. And those CRKT Knives are sweet. Have the one with the seat belt cutter and wind shield point, as well as the mini pocket.
Any tips on getting a route west? I’ve been with Melton for two months now, and I can’t get any loads past the Midwest. All my classmates have gone west at least once.
@@mattdarwin6497 it’s kind of just up to luck unfortunately. Most of our freight is on the eastern half of the US. But if you really wanna go that way you could request one or two days of hometime somewhere on the west coast. Then they have to send you over there lol
Awesome man. Been following you for a while, I am looking to join Melton here. When you are waiting for loads like you were at the shipper, how does load time and securing time in with your 10 for the day? How do you know how to secure each load esp with something you haven't had before? And final question, when it comes to weather, when do you and how do you go about deciding to drive or not? Thanks man. Gotta get some water shoes for the unexpected fishing excursions man lol. Nice.
@@Linknelson yeah I’ll have to add water shoes to my trail bag lol. As far as HOS for the day, your clock will stop counting down after 2hrs of off duty. So I stayed off duty the entire wait time at the shipper, until I started securing. That way I still had hours available to drive even past the regular 14hr work day, it’s called split logging. For securement on this particular load, melton has a securement handbook, and video to refer to because it can be especially tricky. And for the rain, it’s really up to feel and intuition. I didn’t feel confident driving in that rain so I stopped as soon as I could, especially considering I didn’t need to drive more to be on time
It's a Prasek's on 59 & another on I10 both right outside of Houston Check em out they got good food Real good food
If you where to start over again with trucking today would you stick with flatbed or go reefer. Or dry van
@@blackchubztv180 I’d pick flatbed for sure. I think I’d go crazy if 99% of my job was only driving and waiting at shipping docks lol
Was that trail behind the Loves. If so, I road my bike on that trail a few times. I'm glad you're feeling better.
@@myadventures126 yeah that’s the one. It’s definitely a good one to bike, it seems like it goes forever lol
@ianelbert yes, it goes 24 miles away from town, and like 40+ miles into town and past. There's an outdoor volleyball & bar near town right off the trail. I road over and played volleyball one day while doing a 34.
@@myadventures126 nice that would’ve been fun! Unfortunately I had to call it a day after stabbing my foot lol
@ianelbert 🤣 I do hope you're doing better. Where you sitting today.
@@myadventures126 eutaw Alabama, delivering near Atlanta in the morning
Keep up the good videos bro
@@nickslifestyle thanks man, you too💪
Good to see you back on the road Ian! Roll safe out there!
@@jonfelty6063 will do! Thank you!
I’m in Des Moines for tmc orientation! Wanted to go with melton but the recruiter said they wouldn’t hire me since I’ve had my class a for 3 years with no cdl school.
Class A and no experience for 3 years?
@@BTyler808 last job only required class b but I went ahead n got class a
@@sethq3676 tmc seems good too from what I hear. Good luck, stay safe!
How long do you do each Asset Inspection on Truck and Trailer?
@@monteske6687 I just log my post trip 10-15 mins, and mark the asset inspection for both as complete right before I go off duty. I don’t wait any amount of time for them, I just mark down that I did them basically. And I’ve had a few inspections by DOT and they said my logs were good. I think they just wanna see that you actually logged it in some capacity. But results may vary lol
Just started with Melton, currently on my 6th day of on the road training with a trainer, love the videos bro. These are what made me decide to go with Melton
@@bsweating7151 awesome! Good luck with your training and stay safe out there
Thanks Mam God Bless wish there were more cool guys around.
Is that a Whataburger shirt? Second job?
Hey brother....keep it coming! I enjoy the chill vibes you give.
Hello, do you know if they have yard hostlers ?
Wasup with melton how much experience you need?
What are benefits for Vets?
I’m 28 getting ready too get in trucking I want too save 100k plus got no kids not married I’m about to get this money 💯.
Keep it that way ma guy. Same here single asf making a bank
I am struggling with my mpg. Sticking to 64mph does actually work? Or yhere is more to get to 8?
Which Melton did you start Orientation at?
Hey Ian I wanted to ask if you think it's possible to maintain health and feel good when trucking. Do you have any tips to share? I really want to do what your doing too but Im just not sure if there will be time for going on walks and exercising
Hey Ian have the loads picked up for melton since we’re basically in the summer already?
What state do you call home??
I'm looking at Melton and the recruiter is saying it's 2 weeks out 2 days home. But you have been out a month? Are you choosing not to go home, or are you staying out because you have to?
I was out for 4 months, but yeah only because I chose to be
TMC driver here brother. Get that TWIC card. You can enter ports instantly, waiting for the escorts sometimes takes forever. It’s super easy to get and comes in the mail pretty quickly. Also we use the same tablet for our ELD it’s a big upgrade from the older version and brother we get loads no matter what. Whenever we submit our empty we get another one within 15 minutes even in the middle of winter.
Does TMC hire out of California????
@@jobanyzamudio9080 sorry for the late reply, no they don’t hire out of California. There’s not much freight for us to my knowledge that far west.
I’m thinking I’m going TMC next month.
@@jobanyzamudio9080 no they don’t
@@GirlDADart Can’t go wrong with them. Pretty good training, pay, equipment, people and management.
