Been with Melton 5 yrs.,I just love your videos, and I always learn something. Please keep them coming.

[@myadventures126]

Thank you for saying so. I do enjoy coming up with ideas, and I like the whole editing of the videos. I've been off my truck for two months now, and I hope to get back on my truck soon. And when I do, I'll certainly be making new content. Be safe out there, and I hope to meet you out there one day.

Does step deck put you into hauling a different category of freight with different types of shippers etc? Can you go right in to step deck or do you have to have prior flatbed experience?

[@myadventures126]

It does not matter with Melton. You could have a flt bed one week and a step the next. As for freight. Yes, some shippers do not want to load stepdecks. Lot if the time with a step. You could be hauling heavy machinery or foam siding to lumber. You just never know.

@@myadventures126 Thanks for the info, I am glad to see your previous videos that you have time to get out on the bike while over the road. I am an avid cyclist looking to go into trucking around August. Good to know that you can keep up your exercise.

What if you had 3 axel?
Would you be legal in California Florida and Wisconsin?

[@myadventures126]

I really don't know what the laws are on three or more axles in those states.
