Avoid Marten Transport LTD.

Im sceduled to start orientation with Prime as a company driver. Can anybody tell me how prime is ? Im going to do Reffer freight. Hows the money, trucks, length of haul average . . . any info will help

 

Why is my 07 Columbia a 10 speed then? As was my 04 Columbia?
Friends who were in my oreintation class 4 and half years ago, had 13 speeds in ther KW's

 

Hmm, that's news to me. My hubby's Columbia is a 10 speed.

 

We bobtail home from a dropyard that's 40 mi away. Closest home terminal is 177 mi away. Sometimes, we will dead head there with an empty.

Hey Ski, do you know why we get those messages from Ontario term? It's almost like somebody parked where they weren't supposed to, or it got hit, or something. HAHA... It wouldn't surprise me, that yard is a mess. Just before I got off the truck, it was pretty empty the last few times. Just the other night, hubby called me up and said it was full. The guy from the shop told him to drop his trailer in front of another trailer. He said whoever has to take the load would have to move his trlr. Also told me that there were a bunch of empties and that it was kind of unusual. He was thankful he found an empty as he was close on his hours and needed to stay the night.

 

Well excuse me. I guess a feller can't be wrong around other driver's or their wives, huh?

In case ya didn't know, IIRC means if I remember correctly. That's the same as saying "I think...."

I wasn't trying to imply that I know about Marten what someone who's a driver there (or a former driver) would know. All I know is what my friend told me when she worked there.

Sorry for the incorrect information. Carry on.....

 

Hey Rob, welcome the the forum, ithink you would be better served in you posted this question in the prime thread though. / this being the marten thread.

 

Your correct about either a car parked in the wrong spot, or got hit.
Double parking trailers there happens more often than not. AVOID THAT PLACE LIKE THE PLAUGE ON HOLIDAYS. It gets so packed in there, you have just enough room to make it to the fuel pump, and then out. But be ready to sit there in line.

 

Sorry, i didn't know what IIRC ment, not up to date with abbreveations.

Didn't mean to come sounding like you knew it all.

 

No worries, driver. Truck safe neighbor.

 

appreciate the suggestion, I'm new to this site. I will ask for info on Prime on the Prime thread. Thanks again Ray,
