Company Overview

Dart Transit Company is an Eagan, Minnesota truckload carrier, family-owned since 1934, running dry van truckload, dedicated and intermodal freight with a fleet that has long leaned on independent contractors alongside company drivers. The FMCSA lists it with 971 power units and 855 drivers on its May 2024 filing. Its lanes are strongest in the Midwest and the eastern half of the country, and it recruits both company drivers and owner-operators, with a referral program and a driver portal for settlements and loads. The roadside record: 1,083 inspections, 16 driver out-of-service orders, about 1.5 percent, and 143 vehicle orders, about 13 percent, both under the national averages. There are 39 recordable crashes over two years, a low count for a fleet of nearly a thousand trucks. Dart is on this list from driver reports. Contractor-heavy carriers are worth understanding before you call: the carrier's DOT drug and alcohol program covers contractors as well as employees, so a completed SAP program and a passed return-to-duty test are needed either way, but the hiring conversation may be about leasing a truck rather than taking a company seat. Ask whether Dart currently takes drivers who have completed the return-to-duty process, whether a company position is open, and how long since the violation they require. Prefer the company seat while your follow-up testing plan runs.

SAP Friendly — Driver-reported

Dart Transit Company is on this list because drivers have been hired here after a Clearinghouse violation. Hiring policy moves with the freight and insurance markets, so confirm with the recruiter when you call.
