Awesome company!!

[@jaredlake3964]

Bro this the best orientation video ever thank you

[@emiliosTA]

Thank you Jaredlake!! I really appreciate the compliment. I have day 2 orientation (Pre-Hire Evaluation) video in the works. I should be done with it this weekend when I get on hometime!! And you are very welcome.

[@jaredlake3964]

@@emiliosTA bet bro i’ll be on the look out for that part 2

[@HDKennels]

Do we have to take a dot physical during orientation?

[@emiliosTA]

No you will have to do that before orientation.

[@AL-xg7tr]

Melton has change everything

[@Tom-gq5rz]

Hey man, I was in your class. Nice work putting this video together.

[@emiliosTA]

Thanks brother!!

[@nasirulislam9586]

11:00 what😂😂😂😂. Is that what i read from that hat??😂😂 Hilarious.😂

[@casperz33]

Does Melton provides GPS when you get your own truck? I start orientation Oct 7th, im pretty excited about it.

[@emiliosTA]

Yes they provide you with a tablet. It has GPS.

[@conradebanks2224]

As a current driver, don't blindy trust that GPS or you'll end up in a bad spot. Its basically trucker path/hammer quality but slightly less reliable.

[@casperz33]

@@conradebanks2224 started few days ago with my trainer (first load was oversized so, lucky huh) 🤣that GPS tried to take me through a super tight dirt road in Alabama. I’d never trust this GPS lol 🤣

[@DAVOY2]

Great video

[@emiliosTA]

Thank you, there is way more to come just need to get some home time to start the editing process. September looks promising.

[@DAVOY2]

@@emiliosTA be safe out there, I’m on my 3rd week by myself

[@emiliosTA]

@@DAVOY2 Right on man! I'm on my 4th week solo.

[@echolily5937]

wooooow

[@emiliosTA]

babe! comment my day 2 video :-)

[@ChubsHappy]

Hey bro good video I start Monday I wanted to know if your traning pay is taxed or not ? Awesome video hope you got a good trainer man

[@emiliosTA]

The initial pay is cash, non taxed. thereafter it is direct deposited and taxed. You're looking at about $637.00 every training week.

[@SheldonJones-v2w]

@@ChubsHappy I start Monday to bro!

[@Bleazzy]

How would they feel if you’re overweight but have no issues performing physical tasks?

[@emiliosTA]

I believe if you perform well despite your weight you will be good to go! There are plenty of drivers that are overweight.

[@Hasib7]

So on the medical evaluation if you had a cough, (flu in 2019), do you not get hired and they hold that against you?

[@emiliosTA]

I don't think that will have any impact on the hiring process. I think they are mainly concerned about back, neck, knee problems or something that will prevent you from doing physical labor for prolonged periods of time.

[@Whoknows13901]

Do they hair follicle? I start orientation in 2 weeks

[@emiliosTA]

You will have to take a hair follicle test before you head to Tulsa. Have you already taken the urinalysis?

[@Kavithetruckdriver]

How big was your class bro? And how many people did they hire

[@emiliosTA]

It was a very big class! I'm not sure how many people showed up but every seat was taken. They ended up hiring over 90% of the class. Melton hired ALOT of good drivers this class. They were very happy. I'll see if I can get a round about number of how many people actually showed up on day 1 and include that in my next videos. THank you!!

[@Kavithetruckdriver]

@@emiliosTA bro your the man! Thanks for the info. Only thing that was getting me worried was she told me there is heavy lifting but I’m ready for it! Thanks man! I’m subscribe

[@emiliosTA]

@@Kavithetruckdriver Being physically fit is a huge plus! you will need to lift heavy tarps but you will build muscle in time and will get used to it.

[@Kavithetruckdriver]

@@emiliosTA nice! I lift everyday so we will see. The thing I liked about flat bed was doin stuff other than just driving lol

[@Ode2squatchyy]

How was the drive test/skills? Was it weird with a split axel

[@emiliosTA]

Yes, I'll get into that in the day 2 video. It is more difficult backing with the split axel for sure!

[@leagueofotters2774]

Did you have to pay full price for your own room or did they give you a discount?

[@emiliosTA]

Melton will pay for 50% of the room if you decide to get your own room. Just let your recruiter know before you head out to Tulsa.

[@robddatrucka]

Are you going to post more often ?

[@emiliosTA]

Yesir!! I am collecting content daily. I've just been truckin nonstop. Running on recaps no real downtime to edit my videos. But I'm going to have time in late September when I go on hometime. And I'm going to try to squeeze in at least 30minutes a day of editing after driving so I can post more often. I'm on it right now!

[@robddatrucka]

@@emiliosTA ok I just subscribed… ready to keep up with your journey

[@emiliosTA]

@@robddatrucka Gonna have that Day 2 video up this weekend when I get on hometime! Then I'll start working on more videos.

[@graceypatrick]

Seriously, a drill Sargent?

[@emiliosTA]

Nah, just kidding.

[@SheldonJones-v2w]

Do they really have a drill sergeant there😅

[@emiliosTA]

lol! Yeah, they sure do!! I'm kidding. :-)

[@b_moneygo4515]

[@emiliosTA]

You will be paid to train. Don't need to pay anyone for flatbed training. Melton will train you.
