Why? I have friends at Marten. They have been happy.

My pay is increasing... they have APUs in ALL of their trucks. I like their rules.

I feel that I will have a better experience. I've been trucking since June 2011. So I'm still a rookie, but I'm trying to expand upon that.

I have started this thread so that my old Knight thread doesn't get full of Marten.

I will update as I go.

As I have done before, I will be honest. Good, bad, otherwise.

I start next week.

Are you going to Ontario for orientation? You get to see all the other orientation classes on the tv screen during breaks. So Corporate is watching your every move and hearing your voices so you might not want to talk to loud if its any thing negative. When you see all the people in the orientations. You will see why they can care less about the drivers because next week. They will have a new crew in to replace the ones for the previous week. Gota love truckin.

Becarefull doing YouTube videos....DieselDucy Got fired from Marten for makeing videos....just a lil fyi something to think about before you commit to them. Personally you'd be 1000time better off calling Watkins Shepard youd make more, get treated better, get home every weekend (once you move to PA) and could still move with the company... and they love when drivers make videos...

I think DieselDucy got fired for more than just the vids... Just sayin.

I see Marten trucks everywhere I go out here.

that right he got fired for video tapeing himself throwing pallets out of the trailer at a truck stop (because the company made him do it) he even went into detail about argueing with them about it being illegal. He also got fired from SNI for makeing videos nothing bad there just SNI doesnt want a camera going while the truck was moving....

And here we go! Start beating Smaggs down before he even gets started. Keep your head up Smaggs the rest of the No-it-alls will soon be here to let you know what a mistake your making.

yep just like how we were all wrong about knight right?


He still has time to make a good choice, why let him end up in this same situation he's in now just in a white truck instead of a grey one?

And you would know Martin is a bad company because you worked for them? how do you know? what experience are you bringing to justify you comments?
