 -Gus Corona, Melton Driver

I’ve been with Melton for 22 years. Melton’s owner, Bob, and all of the staff not only listens to drivers’ concerns, but also takes care of them. Here, you’re not just a number, you’re a face with a name. The company has tremendous respect for us and our families. Spouses are just as much a part of Melton as everyone else. They know that a happy driver is more successful.

 -Alton Jackson, Melton Driver & Senior Ambassador of the Road

“When researching flatbed companies, Melton looked like the best in the country. Now that I have been here for two years, I know they are the best!” “Melton cares about their drivers. I am never treated like a truck number, everyone knows my name and asks how my wife is doing. It’s a family here and I plan to retire with Melton.”

 -Ernie Field, Melton Driver & Ambassador of the Road

"We have some of the best equipment we're spoiled compared to other companies. We have the best support team. From the office to the guys in the shop. The best part of working here is we are like a big family.
