Trucking Job Help

I got word back from Melton that I'm 100% approved to go through OJT and Orientation. So I'm assuming all I have to do is show up and do good on my skills tests to get into the company.

Melton isn't hauling DG freight. It is 100% a flatbed company.

I got two offers one is from Melton and the other is from DG Fleet.

I do apologize for that confusion.

I know that ticket is hard to work with. I've explained it too a few companies and they said it's no problem. But then I get denied because of the ticket so it has been hard.

Trucking Job Help

Hey my name is Austin. I'm about to complete my CDL-A training and get my license around end of August or Early September.

I've been trying to contact companies to see if I can work for them and I got two so far that I've heard some good news back from since I'm in the state of Florida.

Melton Truck Lines Dollar General Fleet

I was wondering if anyone had any information or reviews about either of these. I do some research myself but nothing is better than just asking the people out there now.

I know both are physically demanding being a flatbed company and I helped my dad do DG with Werner years back.

But if you guys have any information or recommendations on these companies or different companies I could try to apply for in Florida. Id greatly appreciate it.

First Job Recomendations

Hello, My name is Austin. I'll be finally finished receiving my CDL in the next few weeks however I have some concerns and I was wondering if anyone can help.

Just over two years ago I received a Ticket during an accident (Middle of July 2021) my grandfather said I should have fought the ticket cause it wasn't my fault but I didn't.

I received a Carless/Reckless Driving ticket for the accident. When the accident happened I was on a hill behind someone and we were stopped behind a stop sign. I had a car behind me and the car In front of me starts rolling backwards hitting my car. I couldn't try to roll backwards or I'd hit that car so I had to just take the one hit.

Despite this I got a Careless/Reckless driving ticket.

I was wondering if there were any companies that are known that would look over that or at least hear out what happened so that I could start my trucking career.

I was looking into Werner, Schneider, and Swift but any recommendations would really help.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and help.

Austin,
