    What is the average time out vs days home with Melton? It’s hard to get a clear picture of that after speaking with recruiter.

    thank you for all the leads here and for taking time to answer

    I think you get 1 - 1 1/2 for 7 days. You really need to stay out minimum 3 weeks there to do good. There a true OTR company running a lot of spot freight. Your days do stay in the bank there, meaning you can stay out say 1 year taking only 6-10 days off, then the following year take off 4-5 weeks. Just don’t stay home more then 2 weeks at a time I believe.

    That’s cool. I’m good with 3 weeks. I do prefer regional, but definitely wanted to stay away from the 2 month runs if going OTR. Which seems the most realistic option. I prefer flatbed at this moment and I have read a lot of good about Melton.

    Starting out maybe tough out 2 month runs for a while, bank days then start working on getting to a 3 week schedule.

    Yes, would still be there if wasn’t for family issues. Still talk to couple drivers regularly that started when I did in 2015.

    Awesome! That’s great to hear. They’ve been heavy on my radar and the recruiter did call and run some preliminary reports. Thanks for the info!

    Is it true that in Melton break rooms there's free Avocado flavored dog food for pets?
