    and what are you saying, he was more than just a driver?
    :yes2557:

    Think about it , how many COMPANY drivers buy their OWN trailers ? they guy was an OWNER OPERATOR ( had his own tractor / trailer ) not just a MARTEN driver. MARTEN had a few working there when I worked there in the 80's

    I think he missed his own point :) he posted knowning a MARTEN driver ( 28 years ) that had his own trailer so I kind of get the feeling the guy was not JUST a company driver.

    Anyhow as this is Smaggs thread I will not get it any further off subject than it already is.

    Who knows... they have my entire dash out on the ground and my doors taken apart... I don't know WTF they are doing but I need somewhere to sleep soon. That and their WIFI here only lets me on this site and facebook. Craigslist and iTunes store are blocked so I can't do my downloads!!! Seriously? STUPID!

    WOW! Marten sure has some angry drivers... this is shocking, every driver I've met here, except one, has threatened to quit.

    That... and they have craigslist and any search for trucking jobs blocked on their internet. I can't even download my updates for iTunes TV shows or podcasts...

    iTunes store is blocked. Yet, I can get on here and facebook. Can't click the trucker jobs link on here, though. HA... I guess I'll go crazy, already been sitting in this chair since noon. I can't go back to my truck, because the dash is apart. access to the rear for my stuff is blocked.

    holy cow... my truck dash is in more pieces than I can count! Marten sprung for a motel room nearby. So I can do my downloads... shower... and sleeeeeeeeep ZZZZZZZZZ!!!!! :)

    I'll either have a fixed truck in the morning or another one ready to be issued to me. Hoping the next one is new.
