i too, am possibly considering martian.

i don't think he's a recruiter anymore--back to a driver, but you can e-mail him.

My main concerns would be:
1)How many miles can i get per week?
2)How is the scheduling as far as delivery/pickup times? Are they erratic---picking up a 2am, delivering at 5pm the next day? Or relatively stable hours?
3) It is not easy to sleep with most refers. Hopefully martian has the "whisper quiets" by thermo king.

if you run out of the mid west you do orientation either in indy or mondovi wi.
you haul a lot of budweiser out of ny, kraft foods out of chicago, general mills out of w chicago most of the drops are multi stop loads they pay extra for after the first one. they all wind up at a food warehouse where you will wait a long , long time to get unloaded.
they pay the same c.p.m. if you do a 2,000 mile trip or a 200 mile trip.

" they pay the same c.p.m. weather the run is 2000 or 200"
that is a good way to go broke real quick. do you still work for marten?
do they have their pay rates listed on line? i searched their homepage and could not find detaled information concerning the pay rates
