Perfect for
Marten Transport is best suited for shippers and brands that require reliable, time-sensitive transportation of temperature-controlled and dry goods across North America.
- Companies shipping perishable, refrigerated, or frozen products that demand strict temperature control throughout transit
- Businesses needing full truckload capacity across the U.S., with cross-border service to and from Mexico and Canada
- Shippers seeking a dedicated fleet solution with customized KPIs, maintenance management, and peak season surge support
- Organizations that prioritize working with a financially stable, debt-free carrier with nearly 80 years of operating history
- Companies with sustainability goals that value a carrier investing heavily in solar energy, renewable diesel, and electric vehicles
Key strengths
Completely debt-free since 2017 with $921M in annual revenue and $35M cash on hand, providing exceptional financial stability as a transportation partner
Comprehensive sustainability program including solar-powered terminals and trucks, electric vehicles, CNG fleet, and renewable diesel usage, with multiple industry sustainability awards
North American coverage spanning 48 U.S. states, Canada, and Mexico with 20+ terminal locations and C-TPAT certification for cross-border shipments
Proprietary information systems enabling real-time data-driven supply chain decisions and customized KPI reporting for dedicated accounts
One of the lowest driver turnover rates in the industry with over 400 million-mile drivers, ensuring consistent service quality and reliability
Considerations
Primarily a full truckload carrier; does not appear to offer LTL (less-than-truckload) or parcel shipping services
Recently sold its intermodal business assets to Hub Group, eliminating multi-modal container shipping as a service option
No warehousing, fulfillment, or distribution center services mentioned; purely a transportation and freight carrier
Services are focused on large-scale truckload shipments, which may not suit smaller ecommerce brands with lower shipping volumes
