MELTON DRIVING CAREERS

Thank you for considering a position with Melton Truck Lines!

As a businessman and OTR driver myself, I have a unique perspective in regards to what drivers need to make their OTR career and home life successful. Using my past experiences as a driver, I try to give my team what they deserve by ensuring Melton puts in place some of my favorite amenities as a driver.

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM & NURSE NAVIGATOR- We know that giving your family the support they need while you are OTR can be tough. Melton's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a program that helps you and your family with everything from legal issues, to financial questions, to finding a new repair man! Also, to help you maximize your benefits, Melton has provided a healthcare specialist called Nurse Navigator who can help you select doctors, explain care options, and lower your prescription costs!

 

Melton has many other amenities to offer drivers and their families. To find out about more, please give us a call and a wonderful team of people looks forward to helping you see why we have so many satisfied drivers.

MELTON DRIVER TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve been here six years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Melton is better than any other company I’ve ever worked for and really in-tune to drivers’ needs. We got two pay raises in the last year, which is unheard of, and everyone cares about your success and your safety. Melton wants the best for their drivers; everyone cares about your success and your safety. It’s not just a job; you’re part of a family.”        

 -Eva Gray, Melton Driver & Blue Knight

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 & 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.”

MELTON NON-DRIVER TESTIMONIALS

"I learned about internship opportunities with Melton at the Oklahoma State career fair. I knew an internship would be a good experience for me, but I never imagined it would be as incredible and enriching as my internship with Melton has been. Since I didn’t have any real business experience, I was a little nervous at first, but through my internship at Melton, I have been able to learn so many new skills at a comfortable pace. I learned about every department and how my role truly makes a difference in the company. 

This is the only job I have had where I felt genuinely appreciated and challenged to become more successful every day. It was an easy decision to pursue a career here because Melton has become my second family."

 -Paige Hackman, Driver Relations & Safety Coordinator

"I’ve learned it is really important to have good management/leadership in order for you to grow in your career. My managers at Melton really care about my success and make sure that I have the tools and opportunities to get me where I want to go. 

I've stayed at Melton because of the people. From the beginning, everyone included me and welcomed me to the team. Melton is like a family and you can truly feel it when you work here."

 -Karlie Shook, Recruiting Coordinator
