    Thanks for the post SMAGGS the youtube video and all the information posted in here but never found what I consider also some other important information if we want to work for them.
    How much are they offering per mile?
    How long time at home?
    They ride dry, refer or flat bed?
    They have a lease to own contract?
    I noticed some of you guys like marten some others don't but keep up SMAGGS I am hopping to start my own post or join yours with opinions and real life facts to enrich this blog.
    Wish you all the best!

    I think pay depends upon experience. Home time varies depending on where you live and wether you go OTR or regional. They do reefer with occasional hazmat.

    Okay can you provide some numbers? one year experience? less than a year? more than a year? well in case you have those facts. Do you haul refer or what kind of load? are you going OTR or regional?

    Pay is determined by your recruiter. Smaggs is not a recruiter.

    Marten runs solos regional and teams OTR. They are a refrigerated carrier hauling all types of freight.

    Thank you for the information guess then you are a recruiter?
    The matter in here is try to share as much as we can with mutual advice and experiences right?
    I know I didn't ask a recruiter ...the rest is obvious.
    Thank you for the answer!

    I like marten so far. Under 3 months in. run otr, pete and run mideast area. Yea the perdiem is kinda gay but if I wasn't happy ill just look somewhere else, or turn into skibum and talk trash on every marten thread. But cons so far are im otr but stay regional. 4 days off a month which isnt tooo bad for ME. Elogs r cool but suck when hos come.into play. Plannin is not super professional but I just started so could be just this time of year/month. oh gps they have doesnt explain turns, I have to wait till.I get close to see.if.i.got.left or.rite. And maybe no pets if I were to add anythin else. Pros are good equipment all around. friendly staff all around. short trips which pays about same as driving all day, kinda. most places I go to are easy docks, which I dont mind a challenge. detention pay gets us rollin faster. fun to wash own truck....cant think.of any more rite.now which doesnt mean I cant think.of anything. But im overall very happy here, maybe more.or.less anywhere else but theres always someone out there to.drive this.truck and that.happens.to be.me and im enjoyin my.time....And all the.periods are cuz my phone always has updates and the keyboard changez alot and the period button is next to space.button. Also peeps need to get off american truckers nuts, yall be hypin him up too much. Peace for.now.
