My dart experience

Would not dart give you time off..to get family issue worked out? Quitting a job you like not so good.

 

Could have been a few things,But Most Likely the other half said...."If your not home at night,I'm Leaving you" And of course,9 outta 10 guys say "Ok Honey"

Or, Could be a medical thing where he has to care for a family member who is sick or in hospice.

 

My wife didn't say that but I could read between the lines. Best move I ever made coming off the road. Dedicated home daily is where it's at but I miss the road sometime. I found this new job where I drive a daycab regionally but home " almost" every night. I lay over once or twice a week. Park at hotel. The company reimburses me for the room and pays my 120 for layover. Not too shabby.

 

Dart is now going out to Cali , not a lot but they are out there now. It might be new because west of I35 was never there deal.

 

The guys on their trailers look happy.

 

Dart going to California, and any point west of I-35 started about a year or so ago...I think they have 50 or so trucks on with a customer that has their own freight board...and the customer basically plans those 50 trucks all over the country, minimizing empty miles, and getting guys home when they need to be. I don't think Dart plans these trucks, direction comes 100% from the customer. Dedicated 100%, I believe its mostly live load/live unload, and possibly D&H when available. When I was there, it sounded like a pretty interesting, mutually beneficial program.

 

Are you speaking of there version of the choice board ?
I know they are doing some California now but I was under the impression it was teams only.

 

The C.H. Robinson account goes to Cali. I also remember about a year ago they were looking for people for a dedicated account running mostly nights in California. If I remember correctly it was pulling trailers for another trucking company, I heard a rumor it was Central Freight or Central transport.
