MARTEN Adds Innovative Program to Compensate for Downtime
Marten Transport, a Wisconsin based certified top paying carrier, is implementing initiatives to not only raise its drivers’ earnings but to also keep drivers from losing pay due to maintenance issues.
Marten recently announced a new program designed to help encourage equipment inspections and help offset downtime while waiting for trailers to be repaired. Marten began paying drivers $ 20 per hour for downtime at drop yards and customer drop pools when a driver has to wait for a service truck to fix the trailer he or she is picking up.“ This program was designed to help drivers who have incurred downtime for making sure their equipment is safe and DOT legal,” said Tim Norlin, director of recruiting for Marten Transport.“ If a Marten driver goes to hook a trailer and it’ s not ready--flat tire or lights not working or whatever— that driver calls our maintenance department and is on the clock until it’ s fixed. Again, anything that keeps the wheels from rolling keeps a driver from
earning. Anything we can do to make sure our drivers’ paychecks don’ t suffer, Marten will do.”
