Melton's Base Pay Per Mile
At Melton, your starting pay is based on your verifiable over the road (OTR)
experience.
Once you become a part of the Melton Truck Lines team, you will receive raises based on your
accumulated months of OTR experience until you drive 120,000 miles with Melton. At that
point, you will continue to receive raises based on the Melton miles you drive.
Our average, our flatbed drivers make $65,000 - $75,000 based on experience and our top drivers make over $100,000!
