Melton Truck Lines, Inc. Named a Best Fleet to Drive For

Feb 9, 2010 - WMG Interactive

TULSA, Okla – Melton Truck Lines, a premier air-ride flatbed carrier based in Tulsa, OK, was recently named a Best Fleet to Drive For by the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) for the second year in a row. Seventeen fleets were chosen for this prestigious award.

Best Fleets to Drive For is an annual survey and contest identifying the North American for-hire trucking companies that provide the best workplace experiences for their drivers. To qualify, carriers had to be nominated by at least one of their drivers. Carriers were then evaluated on performance in areas such as benefits, professional development, driver and community support, safety record and company culture. The survey focused on the range and depth of offered programs, the overall effectiveness of those programs across key metrics, and the responses of surveyed drivers.

“The Best Fleets to Drive For is identifying the gold standard when it comes to a driver’s work environment,” TCA President Chris Burress said. “The data that has emerged from the survey has been very useful to the industry in terms of identifying trends and where things are headed.”

“At Melton Truck Lines, driver services is a priority. We are honored to be named a Best Fleet to Drive For two years in a row,” said Angie Buchanan, Vice President of Safety & Human Resources. “We put together a mix of programs like the President’s Clubs, Lifeworks, ICARE Wellness Program, Driver of the Month and Year, Safety Rewards Programs, Top Fuel Recognition and Bonus Program to name a few. We challenge ourselves every day to develop and maintain programs that make drivers feel like a part of the family and be recognized for a job well done. We know that professional drivers have choices and we want them to choose Melton.”
