Melton Truck Lines, Inc. Revamps Contractor Services

 TULSA, OK- Melton Truck Lines, Inc. is please to announce a revitalization of their Contractor Services Program. Over the past two years, Melton has been leading the way with its Lease Program and growing fleet of Independent Contractors. To promote this program, Melton has put together a group that is dedicated to the growth and further success of Melton contractors and lease drivers.

 Lisa Mason is heading the group along with Shelley Seals and Jason Cruce, who is part of both Contractor Services and Melton Maintenance. Lisa began her career with Melton in October 1998 as a Recruiting Associate. Shortly after, she was promoted to Owner Operator Administrator where she handled the Owner Operator/Lease Purchase program. At that time, the program was still new with about 30 trucks. A year later, Lisa accepted the challenge of Recruiting Supervisor. In August of 2004, she was promoted to the Manager of Contractor Services. Back in familiar territory again with the Lease Program, Lisa is excited about the changes and continued growth in the program. She is honest and hardworking and expects nothing less in return. Lisa`s goal is to educate new business owners and help them succeed in the program.

Shelley Seals joined Melton Truck Lines in August 2003. She started in Contractor Services as the Lease Administrator and was quickly promoted to Contractor Supervisor. Shelley has been involved in the industry for over eight years and has driven over-the-road.

Jason Cruse
Once a contractor or lease driver is in the program, it is imperative to continue to support these drivers. To assist them with maintenance issues, Melton welcomes Jason Cruce. Jason has been with Melton since February 2004. He started in outside repair and moved to Contractor Maintenance in August. Previously, he worked for another trucking company for three and half years. His dedication and organization have proven to be an asset to Contractor Services.
