    Copperhead, can't you request a new dispatcher? This woman is clearly an idiot.

    I done a lot of brokering with dart always paid on time and good for a load just about any time i needed it. cant speak much of the cheat you lease stuff though. Leases just seems way to much like a scam to me. I have read a few from various companies and none of them were to the advantage to the driver.

    don't know anything about dart, except that the dude on the back of the trailer telling about buying a truck like this with no money down kinda creeps me out. i am so afraid that he is going to try and grab my leg that i will not follow one of those trailers.johnny

    This is funny.... I also agree that guy creeps me out to. If I seen him around a playground I would call the police.

    They now dont allow you to go home..1 day for every 7 out..and you wont get loads on weekends..DARTCO or the company drivers come first..Avoid Dart unless you want to buy a job as a company driver..

    sometimes buying a truck from this companys are not the best thing to do . like they say diffrent strokes for diffrent folks .. but one thing 4 sure if u finance your truck outside the company you can take your trk wiht you and put your trk to work at a company that u are happy wiht..

    I guess we are to new to understaned but my husband went with Dart and he makes really good, more than with the other company he drove for he started in sept.2010 and got a full quarter. in we got money back with taxes. He is dedicated to walmart through dart and he usually has 2-3 runs in advance he never hardly sits. he has two buddies that started around the same time. and the same, but the never home that is rough and true. hey say you get a a day for a week. but if you work it right with the gas when to fill and not it works he has had things fixed on his truck his maintenance account takes care of it we have really been pleased except for the taxes we got money back but this quarter thing he tellls ve us concerned
    us idfferent things that ha
