Marten Transport
Company that cares less about drivers or drivers reputation

I worked for Marten Transport for three weeks and it has ruined my driving career. Please don't make same mistake i did.

Marten has put on my DAC I have an unsatisfactory safety record. I can't understand how three weeks can over shadow twelve and a half years of driving experience. I have not been able to get employment because of this.

Marten said I had an incident. I reported it to Marten, took pictures, did everything that was required of me by DOT and Marten. Police were not called, no tickets were issued. I reported to Marten did not hit truck in question. There was no visable damage or transfer.

I called Krissi in Human Resources, three days after I was terminated and asked for copies of pictures I took. Was informed they had not been developed. That means Marten terminated me without looking at all evidence. I called Krissi a few days later and asked for copies again was informed by Krissi that the pictures were property of Marten Transport and was not allowed to send me copies.

Marten made me pay for bus ticket home, repay orentation pay and motel expences while in orentaion, also shipment of personal property. Marten took almost $500.00 out of my last pay check.

I requested a dispute with safety department. It took two months to get it. On 5-08-09 at 14:30 Marten called and the saftey department let me tell my side of the story.{or so they call it.} When I was trying to explain my side the lady on phone I could hear laughing. So, they were not taking conversation seriously. Also asked for copy of the picures I took and was informed that Marten never recieved them. What information am I to believe?
Either they developed them or they never recieved them.

I have read somewhere Marten has an 80% turn over in employment of drivers. I wonder why???
