Pros

Casual Dress, Decent Salary, Some outstanding drivers, operations staff working with you.

Cons

Stress, Supervisors and Coworkers chewing tobacco on the job, Poor Work Facility/ Location, Will rush you up higher duties on same pay. Accusations of Racism/ Cruelty from Drivers when the preplan just isn't there. Wouldn't recommend unless you specifically want to be in the Transportation Business.

Pros

Avg pay. Some professional people that care there.

Cons

Management is "The good ol' boy" network from Randy down. If you are not male don't expect t9 get anything you're promised. The zero tolerance drug policy does not apply to management until the person is exposed and makes them look bad. If you work in operations be prepared for a BAD TIME. People screaming and cursing at drivers and at each other. If you go in with hopes of making a difference you will soon be beat down and made to conform or be told to like it leave or used as a scape goat and fired. The reason for the positive 6 month review is there will always be a need for trucks and the laws are putting small trucking out of business and Marten has the reserves to hold out through almost anything. Randy was humbled when he was hit with cancer but sounds like he is back in full Randy mode.

We pride ourselves in having high safety standards and good equipment. Our fleet averages under three years old. At Marten, we have an open door policy where drivers can speak with their operations managers about any issues they are having.
