Pros

good trucks, steady work, no slip seating, take trucks home on home time, great benefits, great Insurance. some of the people will really work hard for you.

Cons

Sliding pay scale is hard to understand., A driver never really knows what they are making on a run. Dispatchers never answering the phone or return a phone call, Going to the shop and sitting for hours and days to get your truck worked on and receiving no pay for sitting. And getting any layover pay takes the grace of god to get.

Would be wonderful if there were more layover or detention when planners schedule TOO much time on a load.

Pros

MARTEN has a wonderful benefit package. They have quality top of the line trks{at least the PETERBILT 387 is}. And i guess the pay is comparable to the other large companies. Also, unlike a lot of the other companies that EXPECT you to chain in snow & ice, marten is the opposite. "Chains required, Shut Down." Feel unsafe driving? Shut Down.

Cons

MARTEN does not "PAY" for experience. By that I mEAN A 25 Yr veteran getting hired on for the same pay rate as a fresh out school rookie. That just seems wrong, somehow. You get hired on Southest Regional, supposed to get home every wknd only to be told later that you can only get home every OTHER wknd.
