Apprenticeship Program & On-the-Job Flatbed Training for Veterans

With over 30% of Melton employees having served in the military, we are always looking to hire veterans and active duty reservists.

Melton veteran driving jobs offer on-the-job flatbed training, apprenticeship programs, and a great career for any veteran that enjoys a culture focusing on teamwork, discipline, and dedication. Our extensive programs and veteran resources make Melton one of the best truck driving companies for veterans.

We are a veteran-ready company with a strong veteran focus, dedicated Military Team, and Veteran Resource Group that is designed to support veterans during their transition back into the civilian workforce. Melton’s commitment to creating great career opportunities and benefits for servicemen and women has resulted in continued recognition from many military organizations, such as The Military Times Best For Vets: Employers Award.

Melton is proud to offer former military members and active duty reservists the opportunity to use their GI Bill® benefits while enrolled in our 24-month on-the-job (OJT) flatbed training program for veterans, recognized by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Labor. The program is based on the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) in Birmingham, AL. Any GI Bill® eligible person with less than 20 months of driving experience could be eligible for this program.

1. 1.  A veteran with full GI Bill® benefits with no driving experience coming to Melton could receive BAH starting at $1,578 per month from the VA over his/her first two years at Melton on top of our Melton pay package.
   2.  A veteran with 19 months of experience and GI Bill® benefits could still be enrolled for five months to complete the program and receive up to an additional $631 per month in BAH from the VA.

Determine what your monthly benefit from the VA would be if you come to our company here.
