<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TurboTrucker, post: 39054, member: 1675&quot;]I&#039;m going to second that vote on Marten Transport, Ltd. I&#039;ve heard nothing but positive comments from their ex-drivers, which is a rare thing. Apparently Randy Marten keeps a close eye on how his drivers are treated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a history with Crete Carrier Corp. I was leased to them for three years as an Owner/Operator in the early nineties, and they were fantastic then. I left to plunge into total ownership of a small carrier that I bought for pennies on the dollar, and then spent the next decade yanking out my hair in constant worry. I&#039;m just not CEO material, and readily admit it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I have kept in contact with some of my friends that stayed around and some that still hang around the company, and some changes have led to Crete sliding down a slippery slope.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tom Ostergard is now CEO, and apparently has a different way of doing things from Duane Acklie, whom I deeply respect. They have lost many key people over the past couple of years, including long time operations staff.</p><p><br /></p><p>They still are better than many of the large players out there, but have dipped on my recommendation scale, due to the things I&#039;m hearing of late.</p><p><br /></p><p>If one can hire into one of the dedicated accounts, they can do well and be a bit more content than the national OTR drivers are, but you really have to live in the right spot to get into one of those positions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
