MELTON'S 401(K) PLAN

We take care of our employees and their families in every way, and we want to make sure they are financially sound when they retire from Melton but planning for retirement can seem complicated. Make it simple and ask yourself this: Does your “Nest Egg” have enough in it to support you and your family once you retire? Melton 401(k) Plan provides you the means to build and protect your nest egg. The plan has solid investment options, and access to professionals who can help answer any questions you may have. Here are the basics of the Melton 401(k) Plan:

  • You save money each paycheck. It can be as little as 1% or up to 50% of your pay.
  • Melton matches 50 cents for each dollar you contribute on the first 7% of your pay.
  • Your contribution is invested each pay day and all you have to do is watch it grow. If saving is not in your budget when you start with Melton, that’s ok. You can start the plan anytime you like. You can also increase your savings amount every year, month, or even paycheck.
  • You are fully vested after 3 years of employment with Melton.
  • Retirement and savings plan coaches are available through the company’s provider, NestEggU.

24 HOUR SAFETY SUPPORT

Do you have a question about securement? Are you concerned about a load shifting? Does a customer want you to untarp in the rain? No problem! We have 24-hour Safety coverage, so you’re never left having to guess. If you have any Safety related questions, you can get answers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

DRIVER HELP DESK

We recognize that everyone has different personalities and communication styles. If you need help with some aspect of your work, work environment, relationships with other employees or company policies, procedures, or rules you should first try to discuss them with your Driver Manager. If you still feel something is unresolved, contact the Driver Help Desk. Our Driver Relations Coordinator is also here to acknowledge and help celebrate career milestones at Melton.

Employee assistance program

We recognize that life continues even while you’re on the road, and challenging circumstances can impact your day-to-day work. At Melton, we prioritize mental health just as much as physical well-being. That’s why we encourage you and your immediate family members to take advantage of our Employee Assistance Program (EAP).
