Marten purchased his first tractor-trailer in 1956 and began hauling petroleum products. The company acquired its first dry van trailers in the 1960s and established its first terminal in 1965 in Mondovi, Wisconsin.[1][2]
Marten Transport expanded in the 1980s after the deregulation of the trucking industry. The company went public in 1986, with a stock launch on the NASDAQ.[1] In 1989, the company restructured to only focus on refrigerated transport
