Karie started with Melton in July of 2004. She has loved the time she has spent here and has a long list of what her favorite things would be. Karie loves the drivers, the people she works with daily, the management, and the beautiful facilities. She loves talking to drivers and working with our new recruits to make sure they will fit in with the drivers we have and will be successful here.

Karie’s journey with Melton started with recruiting and driver services and she has come full circle back to recruiting.  She has grown as a recruiter in that she is now super comfortable talking about this company and the job she is recruiting for, whereas when she first started, she was a little nervous and even scared to make a phone call.  Karie kind of secretly hoped they wouldn’t answer the phone and she could just leave a message, but now the opposite is true.  She is excited when they answer and gets to share with them all things Melton.  Karie can gush about Melton all day long and she is happy to take your call.

When Karie is not working, she likes to doodle and draw flowers on just about everything. She also likes to swim, paint, read and do home projects. She is painting her garage door to make it look like stained-glass.

Melton truly cares about their employees and what is best for all. She loves that every day she gets the opportunity to help someone make a better life for themselves and their family.  I have discovered truck drivers are the most selfless people she has ever met. When they are asking about a job, their concern is providing for their family and not their own desires, they will go without to be sure their family is provided for. Kelly wonders how anyone could not love this job?

When Kelly first started, she knew nothing about the trucking industry. Melton has given her the tools to love and understand this every changing industry, she learns something new every day!
