Apprenticeships & On-the-Job CDL 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 CDL training, apprenticeships, 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.

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) CDL 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. A veteran with full GI Bill® benefits with no driving experience coming to Melton could receive up to $24,396 from the VA over his/her first two years at Melton in addition to 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 $581 per month from the VA.

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

Military Recognition

Melton has a fleet of military themed trucks that bring awareness and recognition to Melton’s military community. All Melton military members and veterans enjoy special decals for their trucks. As a military friendly trucking company, we have a longstanding history of recruiting servicemen and women and helping with their transition back to civilian life.

Whether you are a military veteran or a driver looking for the next step in your career, we are looking for drivers like you to join our fleet and our family.

Melton Truck Lines believes that it is our duty to provide America’s veterans and transitioning service members with access to great careers in an industry where they fit in so well. We have found that the military culture and our company culture are linked with connection points that include the value of teamwork, discipline, dedication, and an adventurous spirit. With those shared values, servicemen and women are set up for incredible success with Melton, and we are excited to help them find their career with us.
