Marten Transport Increases Detention Pay
Marten Transport, a Wisconsin based certified top paying carrier, is setting itself apart again with initiatives to not only raise its drivers’ earnings but also keep drivers from losing pay due to detention issues.
Recently the carrier instituted an increase to its automatic driver detention pay, in addition to maintenance pay, to offset any negative effects of downtime. These programs are consistent with the company’ s unprecedented growth and success as a premium employer and leader in the trucking industry.“ Our automatic detention pay compensates our drivers for their time and holds customers accountable for delays,” says Tim Norlin, director of recruiting for Marten Transport. Marten was one of the first carriers to begin charging customers a detention fee if trailers were not loaded or unloaded in a set period of time.“ It’ s our goal to basically eliminate detention time but if it happens and keeps the driver from rolling, we want them compensated for it.”
With Marten’ s detention pay rate increase, drivers will earn $ 20 per hour for detention time in excess of two hours while waiting to be loaded or unloaded at customer facilities. Discover the TOTAL PACKAGE at Marten Transport today! Call( 866) 370-4478 or go to www. drive4marten. com.•
