When completed, the 77,000-square-foot corporate headquarters will feature full driver amenities, including a cafeteria, medical clinic, and laundry station.

The high-end driver center will be completed in May 2014 and will be a home-away-from-home for Melton's 900 truck drivers. Mechanics and administrators also will be housed at the headquarters. In total, about 250 employees will work from the new office.
Melton earned the Champions of Health award from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma and the new facility has received significant media coverage.
