  • Brad Cole, Transportation Operations Manager, Walmart Transportation, 690 Crenshaw Blvd., Hopkinsville, KY, 42240, 05/26/23, I am writing in reference to Tim Melton. I have known Mr. Melton for 5 years now. I have had the pleasure of working along with him on many projects. I can whole-heartedly say that Mr. Melton is one of the most professional, generous, and caring people I have worked with in over 27 years of Transportation Operational experience. Tim Melton embodies everything one would desire in an employee. He is kind, hard-working, and very trustworthy. I have called upon Mr. Melton many many times for help and advice in certain situations. He has always been steadfast in his ability to provide the best support possible. Mr. Melton has a servant's heart. He is always one of the first to volunteer when help is needed with no regard for himself. Mr. Melton will always do everything he possibly can to help someone in need and that is truly remarkable. Tim Melton is a CDT, Driver Mentor, and Driver/Store Ambassador. He doesn't shy away from hard work and can always be counted on when any difficult situation should arise. Mr. Melton walks the walk when it comes to the 'Walmart Way'. He is proud to wear the uniform and is an active participant in most functions involving volunteering. I am confident in saying that Tim Melton would be the best fit for most operations and I certainly hope to keep him in our organization for years to come. Losing Mr. Melton would have an immediate impact on our operation in Hopkinsville as he does so much to support us in all his efforts.
