Lots of speculation but does anyone have any thing solid about Dart?

    Other than tractor lease problems, witch I think would cause you problems anywhere, what do I need to know about Dart before I go any farther in talks with them. I'm looking at some local work for them not OTR. She's telling me .88 to 1.20 a mile loaded and empty, $20 drop and hook and $20 for additional drops. Home every other night and weekends. I mean lets face it, every body wants something better, including me, but the economy just isn't there. Do I have any other options up here in Minnesota? I need work and I would like to stay local or regional. Also something that I have to keep in mind is equipment age requirements. My tractor is paid for, in very nice condition in my opinion, and has about 70k on motor and tranny, but it is a 97. Since I bought it I have just been working for a small flatbed company so that wasn't any problem. I'm just as lost as anyone right now and in need of advise! It would be greatly appreciated!

    Keep your wheels turning and you will do ok. Dart has a decent freight base. If you don't mind hauling heavy loads, you should do alright. Lot of local stuff is pop and paper. 42,000 to 46,000lb. loads. Lots of sugar loads too.
