    Half the lease drivers on this forum claim they make
    2 grand a week.
    Somebody's lying.

    You broke rule #1 of leasing a truck.
    Never,ever,ever,ever admit you got scammed.
    Never ever,ever,ever admit you drive a truck
    For 300 bucks a week.

    Never report negative settlements.
    Never mention how much towing and repair bills are.
    Never admit how much your in the whole.

    Only mention your highest paying weeks and only
    In gross numbers,never net. It sounds cool that way.

    And always keep at least one sick parent or close
    Relative on standby. So you have a good excuse
    When you have to turn the truck back in after
    Going belly up.

    Then you can tell everybody how much you hated to
    Turn the truck back in because you where doing so good
    But you have to be home to take care of mom,dad,
    Uncle joe ect, who's dying of cancer.

    It works every time. I seen it on this forum at least 50
    Times.
    Then show up 4 months later with another lease
    At another company and do it all over again.

    If it says Dart on the side, it's a lease truck. All the company trucks say Dartco on the side.

    I don't recall seeing any of Dart's Natural Gas sleeper trucks and I see quite a few Dart trucks in the lanes I run.

    Seems like the only Dart Gas trucks I've seen has been a couple of the old Fil-more daycabs, but I didn't get close enough to notice if the gas was Liquid or Compressed (LNG or CNG). Doesn't make much difference to most folks, to me it does. Liquid becomes Compressed prior to being used in the engine but not vice versa.

    Dart had screwed so many people they are a has been and won't grow because they've pissed so many people off .
    They might grow through aqaiureing other companies but they have lost creditability with drivers that have a family to provide for .
