Melton Truck Lines is a leading flatbed carrier known for its commitment to safety, service, and operational excellence. Danielle McClain, the company’s Telematics Administrator, plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between customers, trip planners, and drivers through technology. Her team manages both sides of Melton’s custom mobile application to optimize load execution and documentation.
Melton faced two critical challenges:
“We weren’t able to bill our customers until the paperwork came through. And since drivers were paid when the load was delivered, there was no urgency to submit paperwork. Sometimes we’d wait weeks to get it.”
Additionally, safety procedures weren’t always followed or properly documented. Drivers lacked structured prompts to upload load securement photos or complete video-based training tied to specific job tasks.
Melton reimagined its load execution process using the Eleos-powered custom mobile app. Instead of front-loading all trip information, they implemented contextual workflow items that appear only when needed during the load’s lifecycle.
“We wanted to add safety information and prerequisites within the load—not just at the beginning—so drivers would get the right info when it actually mattered.”
Here’s how they improved the experience:
“Drivers were hesitant at first because it added more work, but once they saw the benefit—like dismissed customer claims—they were on board.”
By embedding training, documentation, and verification steps directly into the flow of work, Melton created accountability and eliminated unnecessary back-and-forth.
“We’ve been able to fight several claims using those photos, showing the load was tarped when it got there and when it left. The claims were dismissed—and didn’t go against the driver.”

Faster billing cycle, accelerating customer payments
Fewer safety violations through timed, in-load training and reminders
Reduced claims by capturing photo evidence of load securement
Higher driver accountability and fewer support follow-ups
Improved trust between operations, customers, and drivers
