An observation I have noticed recently. Maybe someone else can answer this question, possibly a current Marten driver. We've all seen every company and their brother out there running some form of "aerodynamic" skirting on their trucks, whether its the small airtabs, the complete undertrailer skirt, the in front of the tandems "rubbermaid" tray system, the front trailer fairings or the trailer tails. My understanding, these are all part of the Green Smartway deal, in part, to get into California.
However, Marten Transport goes into California all the time.....yet, none of their trucks have any airtabs, and none of their trailers have any skirting, undertrailer tray system, or trailer tails. Anyone know how they are getting around this? Seems odd they are the only ones of the major carriers to not have moved with the Green movement.
I drove for Marten back 7 years ago and had a great time there, part of me thought....maybe they are grandfathered in, because they've been going to Cali forever....but that doesn't seem right, because then alot of other carriers should be grandfathered in too.
Anyone know whats up?
Marten Transport - going to Cali but no Smartway "Green" trailer skirts etc??

Airtabs don't count.
Usually is the Skirts or the Undertray System.
It really depends on Model Year of the Trailer.
