First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Marten Transport.
Truck Driver
The recruiter gave me a call and went over the available lanes. She explained all the options clearly. We talked about the competition and benefits. I asked if there were more miles available.

Driver
The process was easy and thorough. Orientation was fun and informative. When I had questions they were answered without delay and with all the information I would need to make informed decisions. Orientation was set up similar to a classroom. The paperwork was minimal and not difficult. Questions were answered knowledgably. The accommodation and transportation were a bonus. I was treated with dignity and respect throughout the entire process. I was given all the information I needed prior to arriving for orientation which made things go very smoothly. The interviewer explained that I would need my CDL, passport, and social security card. Their attitude towards me was warm and friendly, welcoming. During my interview I felt welcome and am very glad that Marten Transport hired me. They flew me to pick up my first truck so much better than a Greyhound bus. I have had some challenges but over all if you keep a cool head things work out. I would and do recommend Marten Transport to friends and other drivers from other companies. Overall my hiring and interview process was a very positive experience.
- How would you handle a situation where your driver manager insists on a delivery to a customer known to be closed over the weekend, asking you to attempt the delivery and report your findings, particularly if this is the second time you've encountered this scenario with the same customer?
Truck Driver
Be totally honest when you interview, don't hide anything, as it'll eventually be discovered during the background check. Be as professional as possible, and have all your information ready, like dates and how long you worked for previous employers. Do a lot of research on the company you're interviewing with, and make sure you really want to commit your time and energy to working there.
- Looking back, would you still choose to get your CDL and become a truck driver?
