Flexible / Owner-Operator Driving at Marten Transport
Marten Transport is one of the leading temperature-controlled truckload carriers in North America, hauling refrigerated, frozen, and dry freight across the U.S. and into Mexico and Canada. Founded in Mondovi, WI, Marten has grown into a billion-dollar carrier known for newer equipment, strong safety culture, and dedicated regional fleets that get drivers home more frequently.
Owner-operators and independent contractors set their own schedules. You decide when to drive, when to go home, and which loads to accept. This freedom comes at the cost of self-employment responsibilities: you handle your own insurance, maintenance, fuel, taxes, and load booking. Schedule flexibility is the primary reason many experienced drivers go independent.
