Lyle, in my experience, is a giant waste of time. He's good for small, insignificant issues, but don't expect any follow up. Good luck going above him. I tried to go up the chain of command, several times and never received a return phone call from any of the upper level managers. ALL IN ALL, MARTEN IS A PATHETIC WASTE OF ANY REAL DRIVERS TIME!!!!!
Best of Luck to you in your next adventure. Be safe out there. On my way home for vacation, gonna spend a day or two looking for something differant.
freight must be slowing down again. no preplans latley, and been sitting a little more. Something good came out of my delivery this morning. They rejected two cases of cookies, about 50 packages. Peanut buter and ginger. Guess what I had for breakfast?
Talked to one of ours on the CB this morning. He's late getting home to California, no surprise...but he's going to miss his divorce arbitration hearing because of it, and probably get reamed out of $50k. How's that for setting the blood pressure up? He seemed remarkably calm about it. "Yeah, I'm taking this one to upper management," he says.
Ive gotten some good stuff that was rejected by the receiver. cheese, meat, tv dinners, yogurt, and the cookies. I eat good out here, don't need the foodstamps. Claims says to dump it. yeh,ok.:smt078 im feeling sick from eating all these cookies.
Kind of makes me wonder if the the divorce was brought on by Marten, since they have dispatchers who have a hard time getting drivers home on time. So the drivers miss plans made 1,2,3 months in advance. Marten does not care about the drivers anymore. Not since they have gone more into a regioanl / intermodle company .
well, sitting again, parked in a dirt field in some one horse town waiting on a load. Been here for 20 hrs. Anybody want some cookies?
You'll probly get a preplan sent to you tonight before they go home, that doesn't load till tommorrow night at 2300. That has happened to me often, even after i tell them , hey i'm ready for a load, you got me sitting in dirt lot with a place to crap.
