Comments from our Driving Contractors

"I have leased to Dart for 6 years. During this time I have seen that if a contractor wants to work and do what they need to do to be an independent contractor, Dart will match your efforts in making you successful. This is the only company I have been associated with that does exactly what they say. There are no surprises with Dart!! If you work and run the miles you will never regret making Dart Transit your home." - Douglas Brill

"I dont know where to start, but I was a contractor at Dart for several years and didn't fully realize, until now, what a quality organization Dart Transit really is. I always did well, financially with Dart, but never did I think that after retireing more than three years ago I'd be recieveing a personally (president on down) signed Christmas card along with a calendar from all of you at Dart. THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING THE TIME AND BRING BACK MEMORIES OF MY TIME WELL SPENT AT DART. MAY YOU ALL HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR ---- TELL EVERYONE 'HELLO'" - Russel Head

"I was surprised when I was approved for my brand new 2007 Volvo. I have contracted with Dart just a short time, and Dart treats me really well. If you want to make good money and get great miles, Dart is the place. Dart treats you with respect. Thanks again, Dart. I really appreciate it." - Shawna Cunningham

"I've been at Dart off and on for four years, and I'm hoping to upgrade to a used T-600 Kenworth from Highway Sales, a truck vendor for Dart contractors. I'm running on a dedicated account and my dispatcher is great. My wife was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, so I've had to take time off here and there to take her to the doctors and hospital. My dispatcher gets me home when I need to be there. That's a load off my mind. We really appreciate all the help." - Jeff and Sherry Moulton

"Dart is everything you said and more. Dispatch is very responsive and helpful and the miles are definitely there. I have averaged about 3,000 miles per week and am very happy. Never before in 7 years of driving have I been able or willing to recommend a company to another truck driver. That has changed. I have sent a couple your way and will continue to do so. Thank you for everything." - Clark Ferrin

"I contracted with Dart six years ago, left a little while, and then came back. Believe me, the grass is NOT greener on the other side of fence. During my time at Dart I have had the same dispatcher all that time and have been treated very well. I've paid for two trucks and was never late with a payment.
I just purchased a new Columbia through Highway Sales, Inc. (a truck and financing vendor for Dart contractors.) It was thousands cheaper than from a dealer. Dart has always been there for me and I couldn't ask for a better business partner. You never have to wait to get paid, settlements are accurate, and you can look at your settlements on-line. If someone is looking for opportunity, this is the place." - Joseph Brauner

"I've been with Dart for about a year now, and I can say that they really help contractors who work hard. I have come on a long, hard road. I had a stroke and lost my home and wife. When the Doc told me I could go back to work, this is where I needed to be. I've done good for myself here. I can't say I'm rich, but my bills are paid and I've got some saved back for a bad day. Thank you." - Clinton D Hardin

"I have contracted with Dart for a little over two years and I have nothing but good things to say. My dispatcher, Les, is the guy who keeps me running. He also understands that I have a family that I like to spend time with. I usually go out for 10-12 days at a time, and he keeps me moving while I'm on the road. A company that understands the balance between work and home is a rarity in this industry. Being a successful contractor and getting home regularly is the number one reason to contract with Dart." - Brian J. Dureault - "Q-Ball"

"I'm in the National Guard, and Dart has always gotten me home when I needed to be there. They've never let me down, even with truck repairs. They give me the miles and resources that I need to succeed (as an independent contractor). I've worked with a lot of dispatchers in the business. Now I'm working with the best -- right here at Dart!" - Jeff Vandevander

"I've been onboard with Dart for three months (as an independent contractor), and they've done everything they said they would for me. I'm in a brand new Freight Shaker 2004 Columbia with the new Mercedes-Benz engine. It rides like a Cadillac. I'm very happy to be running my own business with Dart Transit. My dispatcher runs me, and when I need home time, it's there. I say yes or no to where I run. Thanks to my recruiter, Miss Jill, at Sellersburg, Indiana." - Guillermo Caddle

"I've been with Dart off and on for three years. I kept thinking it was better on the other side of the fence, but it wasn't so. Now I'm back at Dart for the last time, and I'm not going anywhere. They work with me when I have a problem, and my dispatcher and I are on a first name basis. When I came back in November 2005, everyone said 'Hi, and welcome back'. That made me feel really good. I got a great truck through Highway Sales (a truck and financing source for Dart contractors) and I'm running on a dedicated regional account. I'm getting great miles and I'm making money. Thanks Dart -- I'm here to stay." - Jeff Moulton

"I've been with Dart only a short time, but I can already tell this is one of the best companies in the trucking industry. If you like to get paid on every trip, this is the place to be. You don't have to wait until Thursday or Friday (to get your check).

This is the first company I've worked for that has treated me like family. I've been driving for 12 years, with seven of those years as an owner-operator for a local company. Now I've found a better company.

I have the worst credit there is, so I thought I would not get approved for truck financing. But they (Dart, Highway Sales, and U.S. Bank) proved me wrong. Thanks to these guys for helping me out. I love the dedicated run you gave me, too!" - Richard Burrows

"I have been with Dart for three years, and I am well pleased with Dart’s way of doing things. No matter what problems I have had, there is always someone to advise and help. If trucking is a business to you, then DART is definitely the place to be. I don't believe you will find any place else where you can run your business your way and have great people help you to make it better. I really enjoy Dart’s relationship with customers, too. It won’t take much of your time to check out Dart.." - Robert Farrish

"I have been with Dart a short while, but I have never found a trucking company that treats me with the dignity and respect I deserve. Dart does not force their drivers to do anything they don't want to. Online settlements are great. You get paid when you are ready, not when they are ready. Everyone from Dart to the people at Highway Sales have made me feel welcome." - Gerald Howland

"I have been driving for 8 years, and boy have I been through the ringer with some companies. It is hard enough to be a woman and get the respect that I deserve. But when I came to Dart... I got just that!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T ! Thanks Dart. I hope to someday too reach the Million Mile Award, and with Dart, I know I will." - Bobby Bloyd

"What a difference! My dispatcher and I are on a first name basis, and that's important to me. Kevin gets me home when I need to be there." - Leroy Dyer

"I have been with Dart for 8 years. They are like family to me. I will not go anywhere else. I run good miles, I have a good dispatcher, and I am happy. I get home when I want and I make good money. I also got my first truck through Highway Sales, and I just about have this one all paid for. If you have problems they work with you." - Jeff Wenman

"Highway Sales has been great, and Dart keeps me moving. [My dispatcher] has a knack of putting me in the right place at the right time and gives me the opportunity to be successful." - Ray Carrier

"[My dispatcher] keeps me running and he knows how I like to operate. I never worry about what I'm doing next." - George Krueger

"I didn't have the best credit, [so the best I could get from Highway Sales] was a 1994 Freightliner cabover. Not my dream truck, but I was willing to give it a try. [My recruiter] kept telling me that if I could run and show that I was a hard worker, I could upgrade into a newer truck within three to six months. Well, I bit the bullet and came over to Dart. After 90 days, I really wanted something newer, so I came into Highway Sales and talked about upgrading. After three days, [they] surprised me by putting me into a brand new 2000 Freightliner FTD. I proved myself to the company and they rewarded me with my new baby! Highway Sales gave me free pin-striping and boy does it look sharp! My name is even on the door! If it weren't for the support at Dart, I'd be looking for another job." - Ron Germic

"Dart has always been very fair and helpful to me in every aspect. I hope to have a life-long relationship with Dart." - Ben Spencer
