      @ianelbert lol. It's easy for me to say that. When I'm not trying not to get stuck and get to the drop. Good stuff.

    What’s up bro, I appreciate you for sharing your experience
    I was wondering how much free time do you typically have in a day with Melton? I’m thinking about going with Melton because they allow dogs and I wanna take my dog with me and she needs about 1-2 hours of exercise throughout the day, do you think I would be able to get enough free time for that at Melton?

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert  11 месяцев назад

      It all depends on how you choose to run your day and manage your time, but yeah I’d say 99% of the time you’ll be able to make that work fairly easy

    Did you not get yourself a Garmin? Gps I see all you got is the tablet and your phone. I’m assuming the tablet is for your elogs?

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert  6 месяцев назад

      No I just use google maps and an atlas. The tablet does have navigation, but yeah I just use it for my logs

    Do you have to pay for your own equipment? Tarps, binders and such?

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert  6 месяцев назад

      No melton supplies everything you’ll need. There are a few items you’ll wanna buy to make the job easier tho. Like plastic edge protectors, a push pole for layer strapping loads, a road atlas and truck GPS of you want one

    I've watched some of your videos and I'm talking to a recruiter so how do you like it, are you still at melton, and how are the loads right now?

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert  9 месяцев назад

      Yeah I’m still here, and the loads have picked up a lot over the last month or two. We’re about to be coming into the high season and the miles should keep going up until next winter starts

    what does the miles per week look like

    • @ianelbert
      @ianelbert  11 месяцев назад +1

      Right now it’s pretty slow for me. Winter is the low season, probably about 1,500 miles/ wk on average. But everything outside of winter I could get 2,500 - 3,000+ miles/ wk
