Team Drivers are permanently assigned to a team of Fleet Managers, who run a fleet consisting only of teams. Marten Transport Ltd. has both Independent Contractors and Company Drivers running team. Qualified Drivers, who wish to run team as Company Drivers, please see Company Drivers for Vacation, Benefits, Bonus, and fleet information.

The team driver pay scale is as follows:

$.39/mile - one year experience

Top pay to $.46/mile.

Dedicated Routes

Marten has established lanes with a number of customers that allow drivers to be home more frequently than an over-the-road driver. All dedicated openings are offered to our current fleet Drivers first, on a seniority basis and depending on the proximity in which they live to the dedicated runs. If we have no drivers who are interested and meet the physical location criteria, we will then look at hiring from outside the company to fill these positions. Some of the companies that we haul dedicated freight for include Anheuser Busch, Procter & Gamble, and Nestle.
