A Special First Ride for Jamel’s Little Co-Pilots! After a month and a half on the road, our driver, Jamel finally got to share his truck with the most important passengers—his kids! Their first time sitting in dad’s truck was filled with priceless smiles, pure joy, and big dreams. Now, his son is already planning to drive for Melton one day! Moments like these remind us why we love trucking—not just for the miles we cover, but for the memories we create along the way. #meltontrucklines #heavyhaul#trucker #truckerslife #trucking#trucklife #flatbed #flatbedlife #keepontruckin #bigrig #ontheroad #transport
