Smaggs goes to Marten. My Experience with Marten Transport.

The small companies are what makes up the trucking industry !

your big mega companies are actually the minorities.........

 

Hey Smaggs if you're in Pittsburgh now you should be able to get in to soemthing local, P&D, or running tri-axle. You'd be suprised how well they pay for tri axle guys here, it's not rare to see 18$ an hour to start. Not exactly sure where you're located in Pitt, but McCylmonds in Portersville seems like a pretty good outfit with good pay and good equipment.

 

You do know that 90% of all DOT numbers consist of companies with ONE truck? Large companies SUCK to work for.

 

as usuall your wrong...not only for the reasons posted by other members but because there are tons of companys that refuse to grow...EX: KEEN Transportation REFUESED to grow, the told there BIGGEST customer CAT....NO! so they sold out instead of destroying there company for a stupid customer. My advice stick to talking about what you know about..slow trucks, low pay, e-logs etc

Lol ok boy genius

The same guy who stands up against bottom feeders yet went to work for one.

Same guy who preaches against low pay but Watkins Shepard pays how much??

Lmao, Practice what you preach .

 

and per usual AT can say what he likes but don't insult the FB savior to the industry

 

Umm BIG differance in OTR Bottom Feeder and a LOCAL LTL Bottom feeder...you have to live in your POS truck, i only spend 7-8 hrs a day in mine...and w/s pays $45,000-$50,000 FIRST YEAR out of school....so i dont see your problem as thats higher then 98% of newbie companys. I gotta go, going out with my other half, but you have fun twiddleing your thumbs in the truck all day....peace bra!

I hardly live in.my truck. I get my weekends home and usually 2 nights minimum during the week. Hardly living in it.

You can justify local all you want. Still a bottom feeder that you chose to work for after saying you wouldn't. You can paint it whatever color you want, throw as much febreeze as you want on it, it's still a pile of feces

Oh, what's this... And that's the raised scale...

 

Now Now, Kids, settle down....Take a deep breath, It'll be alright
