    Thinking of maybe giving this company a try.
    They talk a good game like everyone.
    Need to hear from real Marten drivers. Prefer hearing from dedicated drivers since that is what I'm shopping for.

    Their screwed up pay structure is enough to keep me away.

    I know a few of their drivers, One older driver who’s been driving his whole life took the job just a few years out from retirement and that’s a dedicated route, drives four days a week making about 60,000 a year and they leave him alone. However all the other drivers I know say they are micromanaged. Lots of paperwork, checks and calls with updates due to refer loads etc.
    Number one thing a company can do for me? Leave me alone. As long as it ain’t late I don’t need to hear from anyone.

    I thought old age would be enough to keep you away. Aren't you retired?

    He probably means old age, as in several hundred years old.....
