response to our prior comment 6 that the depreciation expense you recorded
using a 5 year useful life with a 25% salvage value would have been the same if
you used a 3.25 year useful life with a 51.25% salvage value.&#160; We believe, however, that the policy
disclosure in your notes to the financial statements should reflect the useful
lives and salvage values expected based on your replacement plan.&#160; In future filings, please revise your
disclosure as appropriate for both tractors and trailers.&#160; In addition, please clarify for us whether
your historical experience demonstrates that a 51.25% salvage value is
appropriate for 3.25 year old tractors.</b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Marten will add a discussion of the
relationship of useful lives and salvage values used for depreciating tractors
and trailers compared with its current replacement plan to its footnote
regarding Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for its Form 10-K for the year ending
December 31, 2005, as well as its subsequent future Form 10-K filings.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Marten&#146;s historical experience does support the reasonableness of a
51.25% salvage value for 3.25 year-old tractors.&#160; Marten noted in its response to your prior
comment 9 that a temporary increase in the demand for used tractors that are
not subject to the EPA emissions reduction directives has led to a short-term
increase in gains recorded in Marten&#146;s disposition of tractors.&#160; The average gain per tractor disposed has
increased from a loss of $773 in 2002 to gains of $1,164, $2,875 and $4,553 in
2003, 2004 and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.&#160; During this time frame, Marten decreased the
average age of tractors disposed from approximately 3.9 years in 2002 to
approximately 3.25 years in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In prior years, tractors disposed of after approximately 3.25 years
also showed an increasing market value.&#160;
A representative group of 9 tractors disposed of in 2002 within 3.7
years after purchase averaged a loss on disposition of $3,611 per tractor.&#160; Representative groups of 16 tractors disposed
of in 2003 within 3.7 years after purchase averaged a loss on disposition of
$2,323 per tractor while 12 tractors disposed of in 2004 within 3.2 years after
purchase averaged a gain of $2,292 per tractor.&#160;
The trend of increased average gains per tractor disposed of from 2002 to
2005 is similar for both the above representative groups of tractors disposed
of after approximately 3.25 years and for all tractors disposed of in each
year.&#160;&#160; Accordingly, the increase in
gains has resulted from an increase in demand for used tractors and not from
the acceleration in Marten&#146;s fleet replacement.</font></p>
