Congratulations Donna!!! Awesome achievement. Wishing you well in 2023!
I have finished one whole year with Marten. As I've committed a couple times they are a good solid company. I never want anyone to leave their own company ; however looking for a new company. I would be glad to answer questions. I'm posting my actual end of year earning . A lot of drivers on here with far more experience than I and I'm sure making lots more money but I'm please for a first year!
The picture never posted! Perhaps someone can help me out!

With marten I run a lot of Walmarts , frozen/ dairy or remix loads. I hate it , trying to get truck route into store, small docks, standing for forever at back doors, and then fighting with bulk heads. I’m sure there are lots of different types of routes with Walmart. But not for me!
Interesting, Donna. Michael also does a lot of WalMart loads for Marten but never to a store, always to a DC. They are usually a frozen or refrigerated Nestle load coming out of Utah but he did once rescue a load of bananas when another driver had some problem. He is on a dedicated account and does a lot of the same type of loads and deliveries. He has two deliveries in the Stockton area today where you just left. His manager got mixed up and was sending him for home time today when it was supposed to be Saturday so she's now going to have him do some local day cab runs out of Stockton. He has done that in Jurupa before while his truck was being worked on but didn't like that but this time he will still spend his sleeping break in his own truck.
Turtle, when Michael drove day cabs before he said they were left pretty messy by other drivers but I believe you've said that you share a truck with the same drivers all the time, right? I imagine that helps keep the truck more tidy.
These are marten terminals at dc, Monroe, ga : Wintersville ohio, Clarksville Arkansas tomah Wisconsin that’s the ones I’ve run for! Spent about a month at tomah Wisconsin last year. If you look at the picture of my new truck I’m hooked to a Walmart in a store dock.

Trucking Company Requires Driver to Drop Truck Off At Terminal
Hey Uncle Rake, that stinks!
Is that a company policy for all their drivers?
It may be everywhere.
I was set to go driving at Marten until I was informed I would be required to park the truck at their Colonial Heights, VA terminal for days off. My drive would have been at least 120 miles from there, depending on which house I was heading to. That was the deal breaker for me.
I take my truck home every time I go home! If I’m only coming through for a ten I take my truck, trailer,and load! That was one of the first questions they ask me. Do you have a place to park your truck on home time. ? I think like the Walmart dedicated park at the dc, and drive their personal vehicles home.

If you live near a WMDC that is hiring, you could work there for the time being and transfer to TX when something opens up. WMPF drivers have dibs over outside applicants.
