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.

The multiple hometike options were fair and so was the pay. They do have freight to keep you moving all year. The only problem they do have is they have so many trucks in the Tampa yard they cannot keep up the maintenance on all of em.

They don’t care about your sleep schedule you can be working at any random time of the day . Be careful as they don’t care if you are exhausted and have wired runs .

They pay you to shut down in bad weather. They pay 25.00 an hour if you have to shut down. They make sure that your truck is well maintained. You can earn bonuses for watching safety videos. It's just a good company to work for.

I enjoyed my time with marten Good runs, good equipment, decent pay. Great detention pay Convenient terminals on most of their major lanes. Would work there again.

I ran a coca cola regional out of st louis. Good place to work. Very strict on certain stuff. Absolutely cannot have your own GPS. They use omnitracs which is Obsolete and trash. Guaranteed pay was great for a company driver. Made .68¢ a mile. I put 23K miles on my truck within 3 months. They did lie to me over a few things but no company is perfect. Pet policy is terrible. Only allow pets up to like 25lbs. Great equipment. Great incentives. $250 layover pay per day. Detention pay. Breakdown pay. Inclimate weather pay. I was out 5 days and home saturday and sunday and still grossed $1400. Also if you work any weekend day you get an extra $250 even if its just for 3 hours of work. Good company!

Decent workplace, terminals could be be better . Guaranteed pay comes with incentives they don’t tell you about . Will have you waiting for loads but good pay at 65 cent a mile.

Wasn’t very fun when your job is taken away a had to go out for 2 weeks instead of what u had when u started got home threw the week and on every weekend.

What is the best part of working at the company? They take good care of drivers with great pay What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Changing trucks when other drivers use same truck What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Very professional but relaxed to the point you can talk to anyone about a problem and get it fixed now. What is a typical day like for you at the company? I would go in early to office about 7am get paperwork for my load then go do pretripl ins on truck..go.make my deliversies and be back in 10 to 14 hrs and go home..I live 20 miles away.

Great place to work. Honest pay on time. Great communication and management. Only problem I have I they recently changed to 14-2 schedule. Newer model trucks and regular rotation of trailers

What is the best part of working at the company? Kept moving, always had a load What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Got loads with no problems, but miles were bad, gave all good loads to drivers that were in company longer. Got loads that was only 600 miles, but made you deliver 3 days later, and you can't deliver early. Result you are out 2 weeks, but only get 1500 miles a week. I won't ever work for a big company again. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? That all new drivers like a dog, if you last then you might make more money after a year or so. They don't want you to want to go home. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Waiting for your delivery day, more time sitting, but technically you are under a load so you can't complain?

What is the best part of working at the company? Best company to work for in the truking industries What is the most stressful part about working at the company? There’s is none stress is yes life any other company What is the work environment and culture like at the company? The work in this company is one of the best What is a typical day like for you at the company? In the time that I work for the company is was great

The work is easy, the pay is decent hourly, but the management is poor at communicating (picking up the phone), talking to drivers like they dont care about your concerns and you do what they say. u get 3 write ups (3 strikes) and they will write u up with 2 quickly for anything petty to make you feel at their mercy for your job's future. Also MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you are working out of Chicago Ridge and decide to quit, DO NOT park your truck it that lot because they will claim TRUCK ABANDONMENT on your part! Their actual terminal is in Zionsville indiana 3 1/2 Hours away and you'll have to drop it off there. GOOD LUCK ON ASKING THEM TO PAY YOUR WAY BACK! And if you dropped it off in the wrong lot, the one you thought you were supposed to, good luck with getting a job after.

Marten Transport is only around to degrade and destroy good drivers. Marten would rather for their drivers to kill families and other drivers, than listen to their drivers requests for safety purposes..

Bad management, run you like crazy no time to do anything for your self, they’ll call and wake you up on your ten to make you run because they don’t want you sitting, constantly micromanaging

I’m a current driver. Maybe this review affect my performance, maybe not. I’m in the company for about 4 years. Many things changes here. Is a great company but the small changes affect indirectly to drivers. They accept everybody that have CDL and can drive a truck, this is the first problem because the environment change. They have force dispatch, you can’t say not because you are going to be affected in the future. They treat all drivers like the same don’t matter who you are. Company need to have more communication with employees, that’s the clue…

Equipment is dirty for the local runs and not well kept. The bathroom and laundry room are not maintained properly. 14 hours or more shifts depending on your run

There equipment are old, they usually trade them in at 500,000 miles they have a lot of issues including the trailers, and management especially the night dispatchers are extremely rude, and they will work you like a hors out in the field, Don’t expect any downtime as long as you have hours they will squeeze them out of you and they expect you to drive overnight as well. For every five days that you work, you only get one day off.
