    Haven’t heard of anything like that. The serious accident I know of is one of the drivers wrecking his truck on I-40 in a forest preserve near Old Fort,NC. Driver bailed out of the truck went burned out his brakes going down a grade. He didn’t stop at the brake inspection point at the top of the grade like he was supposed to. Took 5 wreckers to get the truck out of the ravine.

    Then it happened before I started working for them(and I’ve been with Marten for 3 years now).

    I worked for Marten for 4 and 1/2 years. I was happy there but a rear end fender bender at 5 mph at a Pilot ended my career at Marten in 2013. Only 5 mph but because I was fully loaded it did $10,000 damage to my truck, and none to the back of the loaded trailer I bumped. I was disappointed they fired me because I had always delivered on time, chained when needed, and did small repairs on truck/trl while out on the road and saved em alot of money vs having a service truck/shop do them. And Randy Marten sent me not one, but two hand written scribbly letters in short telling me what a bad driver I was for screwing up there CSA scores. 5 years went by and I reapplied to them but turned me down. If you go to Marten just dont hit anything, lol
