<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HP9K, post: 5015282, member: 46182&quot;]A friend of mine is in his second year with Marten and from what I gather, it&#039;s about average.&nbsp; Not spectacular, but not horrible either.&nbsp; The equipment is late model, well maintained and the miles are pretty good.</p><p><br /></p><p>His biggest complaint is with their crazy policy regarding hometime.&nbsp; Whenever you want more than three or four days off, you are told to clean out your truck and they will assign you a new one when you return.&nbsp; I have never heard of a company with such a policy.&nbsp; Don&#039;t they understand that the truck is a driver&#039;s home as well as his or her work space and most drivers have lots more than just a duffle bag of clothes on the truck with them?&nbsp; He&#039;s got two weeks of vacation coming to him this year and he&#039;s afraid to take more than three days off, lest he lose his truck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I don&#039;t know if this is company wide, or just at his home terminal (which is an orientation terminal and they always have new hires needing trucks).&nbsp; And I wonder if the folks in Mondovi have to clean out their cubicles when they take more than three days off and they get a new cube assigned to them when they return?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would be curious to know if other Marten drivers have had this experience.&nbsp; I know for a fact my friend has had to go thru this and I have met a couple of other drivers when I stopped by his terminal that were going thru it as well, but perhaps it is limited to this terminal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
