About Marten Transport

Marten moves food and goods across North America using refrigerated trucks. These trucks keep items cold to prevent spoiling during delivery. The company serves large stores in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

What Marten Moves

  • Truckload: Transports food and consumer goods needing temperature control; generated $421.7 million in 2025 operating revenue.
  • Dedicated: Provides custom shipping solutions for specific customers using specialized equipment; generated $278.4 million in 2025 operating revenue.
  • Brokerage: Links customers with third-party carriers to move freight through a logistics subsidiary; generated $149.8 million in 2025 operating revenue.
  • MRTN de Mexico: Offers door-to-door delivery between the United States and Mexico through partner carriers.

Shifting Gears and Strategy

  • Sold the intermodal business platform effective September 30, 2025, to focus on core trucking segments.
  • Created Marten Transport Logistics in 2007 to provide specialized brokerage services for customers.
  • Invested $40 million in new trucks and trailers during 2025 to keep the fleet modern.
  • Built a network of 15 regional centers to support drivers and handle vehicle maintenance.

Why Marten Stays Cool

Marten maintains a young fleet with an average tractor age of 2.3 years as of December 2025. This focus on new equipment helps reduce repair costs and improves fuel efficiency during long hauls.

  • Operating revenue hit $883.7 million in 2025, down 8.3% from the prior year.
  • Net income fell to $17.4 million in 2025, a 35.2% decrease year-over-year.

  • Net income was $1.4 million in Q1 2026, down 68.1% from the same period in 2025.

The Road Ahead
