$18k isn’t too bad if this was your first year at your first job ever and you are like what... 15 years old.

Hey guys just thought I'd give you an update. I got hired by Marten Transport. I love the company so far - everyone from recruiter, to orientation, to the system they have set up for scanning documents and stuff and fueling up when I want to and so on. And the pay. They promised detention pay. Immediate detention pay and they weren't lying. Today I was waiting at a dock for 2 hours and so they almost immediately handed me $40 for that. That was pretty sweet. And yeah I know immediate detention means that they start counting as soon as you get there.
So far I'm making about $235 a day.
Oh yeah and they assigned me to a KW T680! And I love it. It's a little bit floatier when it's unloaded on the highway, but manearuving it in smaller spaces seems to be more fluid than the Peterbilt I had with PAM. And I love the sound of the engine it's so fat and buttery. Even when you are barely moving it sounds like electric thunder. Oh yeah and it has an APU which I love.
So basically I like the company. I like the company culture. The recruiter promised me things and they are carrying through with it. Thumbs up!Just passing by, dwells40, Speed_Drums and 7 others Thank this. -
Good for you. Glad to hear you got settled somewhere.
