Marten Transport
Fired me without warning-kept wages-would not help pay to get me home-fired me locked me out of tractor and told to go home

I was hired by Marten Transport in July 29. I notified company 4 weeks in advance about my doctor appointment. I was on medication and needed doctors review and lab work. They did not get home in time for appointment. It takes 35 days to get an appointment. I had to go the ER to get medication. I rescheduled and let company know 4 weeks in advance again they did not get me home in time for appointment. I was 10 day late. I had to drive 4 days without my medication and I was ill from this. I could of had a accident. So when they did get me home I stayed home loosing pay just so I could be sure my doctor saw me and I could continue my medication. Then in September my mother got really ill and was placed in ICU at hospital. I was told she would live out the next 2 weeks. I called company and told me they said they would get me home asap. They kept me out for 12 more days before sending me home. They only sent me home because I called to tell she was dead. The dispatcher always sent me illegal loads where I have not 11 or 14 hours to drive also when I was doing the 34 re start they also demanded that I take dispatch. They would call on my cell and badger me.By Oct 20 was dispatched to a small town Chester VA there were no trains buses or airport within 25 miles of me. They fired me locked me out of the truck. They kept all my wages due to still being in my first 6 months probation. I had no notice there was a problem no communication of any problems. I asked them to please give me a ride to Richmond VA you kept all my money I have no way to get home. They told me to leave call a cab we will not help you get lost now. I saw them do the same thing two people and one of them was a female solo driver. Please drivers avoid the company like a plague. Four days later I was able to get money from family members to get home. It took me a week to get home plus I have to leave behind my bedding clothing microwave and cooler.
