Boyd Bros Trucking
Topic 1324 | Page 2
Starcar, Highroad got me started. I used this site for all my study before going to CDL school. It turned out to be a great benefit. A lot of my research came from using this site and reading articles.
I am not sure how much time I will have during this week (or through my training). But will as soon as I can.
CDL:

- Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
- Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
- Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.
I warned you I would be back. Running solo for Melton. Completed my training phase with a very good road instructor and assigned my truck last month. Wow what a ride so far. But, I sure enjoy the diversity of the loads and the challenges they bring. We sure get to see different facilities that dry vans and refers dont get to see. I believe I have found a good fit here expect a long and prosperous relationship.
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.
Good news !!
Keep the updates coming . I have thought a lot about flatbeds the past couple months .

TMan, it's been 7 months. How's it going with Melton? I'm talking to Boyd Brothers, Comcar, McElroy, Crete/Shaffer, and a few others.
TMan,
I myself just got my CDL-A and have Orientation setup with Boyd and Melton, can you tell me what you like and dont like about Melton? Also have you been there the full time since you last posted?

Hey ridgerunner76 this is a old post and I don't think tman is here very much... A company is as good as its employees... As long as you are safe and a go getter you can make it at any company... I think we might have a few Melton drivers but they don't post so I'd go to a truck stop near your home and look for Melton drivers and ask questions...
