Marten Transport

I’ve been disqualified for any job offer there because of a minor accident. Although this accident is not on my driving record. My driving record is still clean of accidents! Now I understand if you’re not willing to take a driver that you’ll assumed is high risk because of you all policy that’s very strict. Ok, Fine! But what I do not understand is how come a recruiter can’t simply explain this that their policy is very strict for first year drivers. And therefore they can’t hired you because of this. Any accident or high risk that’s considered regardless of driving record is disqualification!!! Simple explanation that’s all folks! In addition, none of their recruiters no matter what city/state are polite, kind, courteous, nor professional! I’m disappointed that this company is operated in this way! But thanks for blessing you all! God continues to guide me the right path!!!

This company ain't as good as it seems they don't care about their drivers.

Staff very friendly. Very clean facilities. Shop was very helpful and friendly. Ladies shower only runs HOT water. Overall was a pleasant experience at facility

If I could give less than one star It would be appropriate. This is not a company of integrity. From day one, the trainer was rude. This guy looked at me like I was the worst thing that had ever walked through his door. He greeted me with great disrespect and racial overtones. Each day, I was made to feel uncomfortable. I was scheduled for training for three days (Monday- Wednesday). After completing training Wednesday, I was told to go home as some things were still pending in their system regarding my background. I received no updates for the next day and a half and was called Friday morning by the trainer. He demanded that I come in to meet with him immediately, with a total disregard to my normal life and this meeting was completely unscheduled. After consideration, I decided not to move forward with this company as it was not a good fit. I notified the recruiter. Marten refuses to pay me for my three days spent in an 8 hour training class at this company. They were dishonest on the indeed profile as well as in person. I wouldn’t recommend this company to my worst enemy. They still owe me pay from training.

Worst job I ever applied for (Edwardsville KS) they’ll tell you you’ve got the job, have you come in for orientation, do a drug test & recommend you put in a 2 weeks notice with your current employer, Just to decide not to hire you after you’ve been promised work. The road and pre trip test are very unrealistic & unreasonable and if you’re not fresh out of school you will not pass. (THEY EXPECT YOU TO KNOW THE NAMES OF EVERY SINGLE PART OF THE TRUCK LIKE PRE-trip TRAINING IN CDL SCHOOL) If you’re an experienced driver who’s not been in school for years you’d have no chance. Highly wouldn’t recommend anyone applying for this job.

I enjoy working with Marten. Good pay. Nice terminals. Nice dispatchers. No labor...just drive. Best trucking job I have ever had.

Been with marten almost a month. Ruff start but this company really does care about us drivers. They went above and beyond, to find me a truck that best suits my needs. Ryan, Jesse, Brandon, Bradley, and my fleet manager Maria from the Willsonville terminal absolutely did everything they could do to make me happy. The pay is far better then fair, they will make sure drivers are well taken care of and will pay you for your time. Anyone looking for a awesome place to drive for I highly recommend Marten Transport.

This has been a great place to work since day 1. To all of you having issues, well you are the same people that have issues wherever you are. I make over $1,500 a week all the time. Never have an issue.

Home time options are fair, and the pay is decent. There’s enough freight to keep you busy year-round. However, the Tampa yard has so many trucks that maintenance struggles to keep up.

Sleep schedules aren’t prioritized—you could be assigned work at any time of the day. Be cautious, as they don’t account for exhaustion and sometimes schedule inconsistent runs.

They pay drivers $25 per hour to shut down in bad weather. Trucks are well-maintained, and drivers can earn bonuses for watching safety videos. Overall, a solid company to work for.

I enjoyed working at Marten—good runs, reliable equipment, and decent pay. Detention pay was excellent, and terminals were conveniently located along major routes. I’d work here again.

I ran Coca-Cola regional out of St. Louis. It’s a good company, but very strict on certain policies—no personal GPS allowed, as they rely on outdated Omnitracs. The guaranteed pay was great at $0.68 per mile, and I drove 23K miles in three months. Though there were a few misleading details, no company is perfect. The pet policy is restrictive, only allowing pets under 25 lbs. The equipment is top-notch, with solid incentives, including $250 per day for layovers, detention pay, breakdown pay, and inclement weather pay. I worked five days and was home on weekends, still grossing $1,400. An extra $250 was given for working any weekend day, even for just three hours. Overall, a good company.

A decent workplace, though terminals could use improvement. The guaranteed pay includes incentives that aren’t clearly explained. Sometimes, waiting for loads is required, but the pay is solid at $0.65 per mile.

The job wasn’t enjoyable after they changed my schedule, forcing me to stay out for two weeks instead of the original setup, where I was home during the week and every weekend.

The best part of the job is how well they take care of drivers, offering great pay. The most stressful aspect is switching trucks when other drivers have used the same vehicle. The work environment is professional yet relaxed—you can talk to anyone about a problem and get it resolved quickly. A typical day involves arriving at the office early, getting load paperwork, completing a pre-trip inspection, making deliveries, and returning home after a 10–14-hour shift.

A great place to work with honest, on-time pay. Management and communication are strong, though they recently switched to a 14-2 schedule. Newer trucks and regular trailer rotations are a plus.

The best part was always having a load. However, while getting loads was easy, the mileage was frustrating. Longer-standing drivers received better loads, while newer drivers got stuck with low-mileage runs—600 miles with a required three-day delivery window, meaning two weeks of work with only 1,500 miles. I’d never work for a large company again. The work environment treats new drivers poorly, making it hard to earn money during the first year. They discourage home time. A typical day involved waiting for the delivery date, sitting idle, and not being allowed to complain since I was technically under a load.

The best company to work for in trucking. No significant stress—it’s like any other job. The work environment is excellent, and my experience here was great.

The job is easy, and the hourly pay is decent, but management lacks communication—they rarely answer the phone and dismiss concerns. The write-up system is strict, with petty infractions quickly leading to multiple strikes. Most importantly, if you’re working out of Chicago Ridge and decide to quit, **DO NOT** leave your truck in that lot—they will classify it as truck abandonment. Instead, it must be returned to their terminal in Zionsville, Indiana, which is 3.5 hours away. They likely won’t cover transportation back, making finding another job difficult if labeled as abandoning the vehicle.

Marten Transport treats drivers poorly and disregards safety concerns. They would rather have drivers push through unsafe conditions than listen to their requests for safer alternatives.

Management is terrible, overworking drivers with little time for personal needs. They wake you during mandatory rest periods just to keep trucks moving, constantly micromanaging.

I’ve been with the company for four years. While it’s generally a great workplace, small changes have negatively impacted drivers. They hire anyone with a CDL, which has shifted the work environment. Dispatch is forced—you can’t decline loads without consequences later. All drivers are treated the same, regardless of experience. The company needs to improve communication with employees.
