    Just wanted to let other drivers know that this company isn't quite what we thought they would be. My husband is expected to drive 1 hour to get there and they may or not work him. Then the pay isn't what they said it should be. It's actually a dollar less. No benefits at all no vacation, no insurance nada. Furthermore, the turnover is really bad. I wonder why! As soon as possible we are outta there. anybody else have any experience with them?:biggrin_25513:

    There are atleast 3 Martin Trucking companies that I know of, where is this one from. Was there any talk of no benefits when your husband signed on?

    Thanks for responding first off. This martin trucking is actually in bowie Tx. They haul salt water of some kind i'm new to this. The benefits don't bother me as much as the thing that is happening now. He is an hourly wage earner but he has been sitting waiting for a truck for 3 hours and won't get paid till he is driving. Is this normal? I want to help him get his hazmat and then do something different. we can't pay bills on maybe we will work or maybe we won't. The owner is R. Martin and I don't really know much about him except he was very rude on the phone and said he talks to drivers not driver's wives. I only had a question about the log books. Is it normal to drive a truck loose ? my husband refused to drive it and now the new hire is driving it tonight.
