dart
IF youre on dedicated its 85 cents a mile and its forced dispatch.never mind trying to tell them that run will cost you money"youre taking it they dont care if its a 100 mile load it still pays 85 cents.i guess i should have known better theres a cutoff point where youre losing money and when youre making money.

If i had crunched the numbers i would have realized that it does not matter if youre running 3000 miles a week 85 cents a mile will not pay your taxes your maint or anything else.im just glad i didnt do there lease purchase i brought my truck there.I was in orientation there was 2 of us we went outside for break,there was some drivers out there looking dejected.

I started talking with one and it turns out he was doing a lease purchase through them and he told me they just fired 5 drivers for being late 2 times.he didnt want to give the trk back because he almost had it paid for and he had a lot of money invested in it.Idont know how these people have been under the radar so long.but please be wary of there lease purcase plan.with all there deductions you wont make it.Iunderstand theres a 16000 dollar balloon at end of lease.hope this helps

Since you had your own truck, were there still deductions?

I guess you never figured out "the Dart Advantage" -but at 85cpm I guess there is no advantage.

With the Fleece the company is always smiling. But now you are smiling. =You got out while other fleecers are stuck.

Unhappy
I only talked to one Dart O/O years back and he was happy. But, I gotta tell you, Dart's advertising in those throwaway booklets at the truck stops is like 10 pages long, compared to 1 page for other companies. It does make you wonder.
