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 .•
