Marten specializes in servicing business's with difficult egress & docking situations. Uses OTR drivers with sleeper birth's & 53' trailers to deliver to places that should be serviced by local drivers in day vans b/c it saves them $

We are happy to hear you are enjoying driving with Marten! We care about the safety of our drivers which is why we pay to shut down in inclement weather conditions!
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.
