Yep Marten does not reimburse for scale tickets they allow ...$1.50 wk for scales they justify this with having weight guages on the drives ...Sounds great on paper ,but that only gives you a rough idea of your weight ...on the drives ,And does nothing for the trailer ...Also how many times do the bills say 40k but it's really 43k ...well with weight guages for only the drives you are completely gussing at gross weight ,And Marten certainly will not be paying any overweight fines due to lack of scaling ,and what are the chances of a heavy or over weight produce load?
I know I scaled all loads over 25k with rare exceptions in cases no scales were within reasonable distance.
One plus for Marten is APU equiped trucks ,But before you start thinking ...wow...Marten really does care about driver comfort,and went the extra mile spending money on these for their drivers realize ,They did not as they got them installed ...FREE...through the state of Michigan .
