To help you make an educated decision about your employment opportunities, we have summarized the Owner-Operator program . If, after reading this letter, you still have any questions, please feel free to talk to me; I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. I can be reached daily Monday thru Friday 8:00am to 5:00 pm at the numbers above.

Owner-Operators are paid a base mileage rate of $.82/mile for ALL DISPATCHED MILES . The company uses PC Miller Practical miles in determining mileage. There is an added mileage incentive bonus based on the miles you run per week: if you run between 2700 and 2999 miles, you will receive an additional $.01 for all dispatched miles, if you run 3000 miles, you will receive a second $.01 for all dispatched miles, loaded or empty. Currently, there is also a fuel surcharge in place based on the national average, and fuel discounts are available when fueling in our system. There is also a safety-bonus , paid quarterly, that is based on the miles you run for a quarter. If you are with the company for the entire quarter, and have no chargeable accidents, or incidents, you will be paid $.01/mile for all dispatched miles run during the quarter, we also offer a recruiting bonus, for any driver you refer who comes to work at Martini, Inc. and remains with the Company or 90 days you will be paid $2,500; each driver that successfully earns a check during the year (June 1 – May 31) will be entered into a drawing for an additional $2,500.00 to be held at the Company picnic.  You will earn one entry for each check earned.

The longevity bonus is based on the following scale: at your 4-year anniversary you will receive an extra $.01/mile added to your base; 8-year anniversary additional $.02/mile; 12-year anniversary additional $.03/mile; 16 year anniversary additional $.04/mile; 20 year anniversary additional $.05/mile; 24 year anniversary additional $.06/mile added to your base.

We offer all Owner-Operators a Comdata card for fueling and cash advances, also on this card is a phone option to be used for business only, all other charges will be deducted from the weekly settlement, fuel, oil, tires etc.

There is a base plate program available to any Owner-Operator who needs it. The cost is based on the cost of the PA plate with an additional notary, and company fee added on, or you can purchase your own plate, and we will add an extra penny per mile to your rate. You are required to maintain a $1,000.00 escrow, which will be deducted from you during the first month you are working here. You will be required to have a Qualcomm unit installed in your truck(s). All alcohol permits will be ordered for you and the cost will also be deducted from you. However, after 6 months that money is given back to all Owner-Operators.

Thank you again for considering Martini Inc. If you have any questions, please feel free to call. We look forward to working with you in the near future.
