COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Melton Truck Lines strives to make our community a better place for our employees and their families. We know that if our employees feel safe and engaged in our community, it will make for happier, more productive employees at work. The hard work of everyone at Melton and our continued success over the past 68 years has allowed us to support several organizations focusing on issues close to home, by either donations or by volunteer work from our great team. Below are just a few organizations and efforts Melton proudly supports:

Alton Jackson
Thank you for all you do Alton!

Paul Annen
Paul did mention that he would like this situation to serve as a reminder for drivers to know their equipment. Learning to properly operate an extinguisher could save equipment and even save lives. Thank you, Paul, for your willingness to help others without a second thought. We are so proud to have you on the Melton team!

Reuben Roy
Reuben and his family are long-time residents of New Orleans, Louisiana. The recent devastation from Category 4 storm, Hurricane Laura, has left his community battered. Having memory of serving overseas during Hurricane Katrina and feeling helpless when it came to protecting his parents, family, and friends at that time, Reuben was insistent on giving back.
He connected with the Executive Director of the Tacoma Recovery Center and organized providing supplies such as generators, water, bedding, and other essential items to the New Orleans area. Melton was more than willing to sponsor the delivery of the load. Rueben’s brother works in the Washington area as an owner-operator and was able to pick up the supplies most conveniently. Our sister company, Melton Logistics, played a key role in coordinating the load, and, in a family effort, Reuben and his brother worked as a team to deliver the supplies from Tacoma, Washington to Lake Charles, LA.
We’re incredibly grateful for all who played a role in making this relief effort a reality. Thank you to Reuben for your generosity, the Tacoma Recovery Center for contacting us with this opportunity, Melton Logistics for coordinating the freight, and all who played a hand in helping rebuild the New Orleans area.
For Reuben’s continual service to others and coordination of this relief effort, we have also chosen him as our newest Melton Blue Angel. This program was designed for us to recognize and distinguish drivers who have gone the extra mile. We are honored to have Reuben on the Melton team.

Jeremiah Johnson
We would like to publicly thank Jeremiah for all he did to help this man! Jeremiah said, “At the end of the day, I just want to help those in need.” And, he did just that. We are so proud to have you on the Melton Team!
