Seward Motor Freight in Seward NE

A company which puts crap like that on drivers deserves to go under… pretty much the same thing that happened to Great Plains after the founder’s ####bag kid took over.

Wow. They have a lower DOT number than we do and they have all these issues??
That math ain’t mathin folks!!

 

Yeah man it's hard to vet a company as there's so much bullSh## especially with OTR companies.. Safer helps a lot.. I look at historical carrier unit count and if there's crazy fluctuations I avoid. I also look at inspections and maintenance scores on SAFER.. luckily for me I haven't looked in almost 5 years.. the life of a job hopper is depressing... Do your research and once you choose an outfit, plan to stay.. life's a whole lot easier that way . All The Best,

 

You still at Marten?
Looks like y’all got plenty going on…

Yup still there.
But they don’t have no where near the fleet that we do(only 49 trucks vs the approximately 3700 we have-of which only under 3100 are actually active).
Most of the inactive trucks that we have are not yet active (2026 model year that were just delivered and awaiting activation,plus some 2025s).
We also have too many new drivers doing stupid stuff. A few days ago Safety sent us a message regarding fueling.
It seems that someone thought it was a good idea to put RED DYE diesel in the reefer fuel tanks!!

 

Shouldn’t hurt anything,reefer fuel is exempt from road tax.

 

Our reefers are considered on highway vehicles (registered,plated and VIN numbers) and we pay road taxes on those,although some states give us a credit back. Some of the drivers have been pumping it into the tractor tanks(major league no-no)!
