Haven't heard much about these guys...until now

I myself haven't heard much either way about Dart, which to me is a good sign. Of late I've heard some rumblings. Don't know if this reflects the company or the industry overall. Maybe the company itself is going down. Maybe the industry is going down. Maybe both?

It means she's slow
It's a typical company truck
It's just all show and no go

I'm gettin' passed by Yella
And even Overnite
I'm gettin' passed by ever' body in sight
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight

No, my hometown's nowhere in sight
And if you think I'm pissed off
You're right
46 days on the road
And I'm not gettin' home tonight


Love pissing off those trucking company insiders.

Thats the problem if you have to work that hard to get driver its usually a red flag
I swear they must own that one truck stop mag, full page after full page of dart ads and testimonials
The one plus they don't do their own leases

Actually if you pick up any of those 'driver' mags at a truckstop, every one of them has a 8-10 page section on nothing but DART.

I'm sorry, but any company that has to advertise that heavily for drivers has a problem.

If they spent most of their ad money on retention I bet they would come out farther ahead in the long run.

Maybe they paid those people to make up positive success stories?

And everybody advertises. But why does Dart get a WHOLE section?

Sounds like you guys are thinking right

Pages and pages of ads in one mag, eh? Sounds like you guys are using your heads. It also sounds like Dart is an outfit I'd stay far away from.

Do those mags have any CAT adverts or any from GM? How about Honda? Hell, how about ABF?

same drivers

Ever notice that the same drivers have been in the ads for years? Is that a B series Mack that driver is leaned against?

I've noticed Dart trucks for many years and can honestly say that the next time I see a head turning tractor pulling a Dart trailer, will be the first.

That alone tells me all I need to know about the money potential at Dart.
