Safety
At Marten Transport, Ltd. we view safety as a priority - and our track record proves it. We've been named Grand Prize Winner for Fleet Safety by the Truckload Carriers Association twice ('02 and '04) in the past four years and placed among the top three in the contest seven of the last eight years.
 

The Georgia Motor Trucking Association awarded us their Grand Champion Safety Award honors for General Commodities Truckload Division in 2002 and 2004. We also earned top safety distinction from the Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association in 2004.

In addition to our Safety Department, we have a Safety Committee in place. This committee has representation from the Safety Department, Risk Management, Maintenance Department, and a person from each of the outlying Marten terminals. It is a ten member committee that elects a Chairman, Co-Chairman and Secretary yearly, with the Safety Manager as the advisor. Some of the responsibilities and accomplishments of the Safety Committee include:

• Building evacuation plans
