Pros

Good dispatchers are far and few

Cons

I had a wreck with a drunk driver that hit me 4 times, and after i started hurting i let workers compensation know about it not even 7 hrs later was fired. I had worked with the company over 6 yrs. I had 1 at fault accident and then this one a week later and was FIRED. Workers comp is complete bs, they don't care about you at all. Don't get any kind of insurance not only is it sorry it won't pay. I pay less with no insurance than having any. Short and long term disability is a joke as well. Hope this helps

Yes, this does help. We appreciate receiving both positive and negative comments. Negative feedback allows us to become more aware of the things we can improve on. We will work with our Workers Compensation Department to better our processes and driver benefits. Marten Transport cares about the safety and well-being of each of our drivers, and we will work to provide a more positive experience in the future.

Pros

Good office camaraderie, regular PTO available for long term employees if you stay there long enough, good overall structure in place to deal with most common trucking company/industry issues.

Cons

Management has a tendency to nitpick issues. Everything is goal and growth oriented as a public company so you're always expected to do more with less. During the current trucking market they keep looking for new ways to trim the fat. This was the first year they didn't provide company calendars to employees, and got rid of the yearly floating PTO day as well. 401k contributions also diminished. There were also blatant sexist/transphobic/homophobic remarks made nearly daily and nothing was ever done about it.
