Marten Transport
Ltd "expect the best"?"drive for the best"?"a birds eye view"? Lol!

I have read your report and thats how it is at Marten Transport. They take all your PRIDE of what you do for them and throw it out the door. Thats why Martens driver turn over is 80%. Think of it this way-Marten has about 3000 trucks-if their driver turn over is 80% then 2400 of their trucks are sitting most of the time - with no drivers in the trucks!!! Dan Blair and Lyle said that 80% is NOT BAD when the industry turn over rate is 120%. How can you get 120% out of a 100%?? DUH - A 100% is all the drivers (3000). I think these guys need to go back to school and learn math or its that COLLEGE EDUCATION that has them screwed up-no common sense. Marten couldn't get me home for a EMERGENCY so I had to rent a car from Ontario Ca and load my stuff in it and go home to Oklahoma-then they charged me a $176.00 to my payroll for a bus fare that I didnt sign for nor use. Marten NEVER reimbursed me for the tolls I paid driving their equipment-said I was OUT OF ROUTE-how can they say that-Marten DOES NOT ROUTE the trucks like most MAJOR BIG and RESPONSIBLE companies do-since they pay the fuel bill-Thats only COMMON SENSE to route the trucks if they pay for the fuel then theres no DISPUTE or ARGUMENT. Marten has that capability-they just refuse to USE a GOOD TOOL. On that money being taken out of your check on travel expenses to Mondovi Wi think of it this way Marten get a tax credit for business expenses to get you to Mondovi Wi; then if your terminate before 6 months Marten can show that as an expense to get you back home or whatever they label it in their computer. Its a BUSINESS EXPENSE that Marten can claim and you get charged by Marten for the expense. Its a WIN-WIN for Marten-But its a LOOSE-LOOSE deal for drivers. I've talked to some drivers thats been at Marten 15 years to 20 years-they said since Roger Marten (Randy's Dad) passed away in 1993 this company has went down hill as far as RESPECT FOR DRIVERS. Marten is a good company but some of the people thats in that office need to be TERMINATED they are BREAKING this company-they dont even follow COMPANY POLICIES as to driver handbooks. Think bfore you go to work here. If your not in that CLICK your not going to make it. They will find some reason to either terminate you or make you quit. Think before you sgn the bottom line!!!
