I was one of those drivers that had to give up a truck and given one of those mid-roofs that was sold. I made a lot of waves because this truck was unsafe for long haul (it was a local truck). I was on time with all my loads, I had one accident $3,300 in damages, was terminated and now my DAC as Marten reported "Safety Risk" so I am unable to get a job.

I filed for Unemployment in my state Marten protested the claim, I filed a Appeal still can't get umemployment.

I had to call a tow truck at the Coors yard in Golden, CO Marten put down that I was stuck "Off-Road" little did I know and wasn't told that will be counted as a "Preventable Accident". It had rained earlier in the day and I was stuck in a puddle (I didn't use a ruler to check the depth of the puddle) after being stuck, doing everything from looking for rocks then after 4 1/2 hrs I called Marten they called the tow truck (Coors had a ready number for the towing service) moved me 3 inches.

I hit a snow bank while getting into a spot and took off the bottom step, I reattached the step. Marten once again said this was a "Preventable Accident" (little did I know) "Hitting a Solid Object" this too is on my DAC.

I was 5 days from being with Marten six months, so I had to pay back the Hotel and travel to Marten.

My name is shot to heck and I am unable to get any type of job because of what Marten put on DAC.

BTW: I have been driving close to 3 1/2 yrs when this happened.
If you currently work for Marten good for you. I would put you down but becareful because it can happen to you too! then you might feel like a fool saying good things and backing them if you get screwed by them. I really enjoyed my driving with them now I am eating my words.

Know any good Lawyers?

#1 UPDATE EX-employee responds

They aren't very understanding

AUTHOR: Diane - (United States of America)

POSTED: Saturday, May 08, 2010

I too, am a victim of MT, I was terminated because of a company policy violation.  I was unfortunate of having 3 incidents (not accidents) incidents- none were major, one was where a parking lot attendent said he saw me hit the bumper of a car, I said I didn't, there was no damage, but I reported it.  The second was when I was pulling out of the dock (very close to other trucks) the driver of the truck on the right side of me was spotting me, and the back corner of my trailer hit his mirror.,with witnesses saying it wasn't my fault, Marten still counted it as a incident.  The third was in the Ontario yard, once again, pulling out of parking space, couldn't see that I didn't clear the mirror of the truck next to mine, and had thought I did clear it, until the driver came running after me. Three incidents. Terminated.

And yes it is on my DAC, and no I have not been able to get another driving job since. I have had three years of OTR, I was driving regional, and loved my job.  Home every weekend. 

I know this won't make you feel any better, but you aren't the only one with such trivial reasons for termination.
