While we’re a billion-dollar, international transportation company today, we still feel like the family business that started it all in 1946 with a single milk truck in rural Wisconsin. And like family, we look out for each other—drivers, customers and investors. That’s why you can always expect the best at Marten.
We have one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry with over 400 million-mile drivers. If you want to expect more, look no further.
We add value every day with visible costs and operating data, working as a team to provide exceptional capacity solutions to move our customers’ goods throughout their networks reliably and efficiently.
Since our dividend program was implemented in 2010, we have paid a total of $193 million in special and quarterly cash dividends.
From a single milk truck in 1946 to 3,500 trucks today, Marten Transport, Ltd. is an American success story. Scroll our timeline for the highlights that made us an international transportation leader with over 20 locations stretching from Mexico to Canada and California to Florida.
We believe unique perspectives and backgrounds fuel the innovation that drives greatness.
To help reduce our carbon footprint, we’ve installed solar panels on our fleet of 3,500 trucks and at 15 terminals across the nation.
Our annual donations to Children’s Hospitals have a positive impact on the lives of thousands of children and families across the nation, including families here at Marten.
