Dart Transit Company

96 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 12 Dart has been a full-service transportation provider for nearly 90 years. To provide its services for such a significant amount of time, the company has evolved many times to address the changing demands of its customers. Today Dart remains committed to its goal of getting products where they need to go when they need to get there throughout the United States. Owned by the Oren family, Dart is poised to head into its second century of working in the transportation industry with integrity and innovation for customers, owner-operators, employees, and drivers alike. About half of those drivers are employees of the company while the other half are independent contractors. Dart has been a leader in protecting independent contractor status and work and treats those contractors as separate businesses, providing them with support strategies to help them purchase their own trucks and be successful small business owners. Dart operates upwards of 1,200 trucks. DART TRANSI T COMPANY
