Dart Transit Co. increases contractor rates in 2005

Eagan, Minnesota – Independent contractors at Dart Transit Company will realize pay rate increases worth $2,400-$4,200 a year in 2005. The increases will become effective in the first quarter of 2005 for most of Dart’s operating options, and will be comprised of higher mileage rates and a fully paid base-plate package.

es are coming on the heels of large pay rate increases in 2004 that were worth $3,200 to $5,000 a year to most of our contractors,” says David Oren, Executive Vice President with Dart. “Adding the two increases together, Dart has raised contractor pay about $7,500 a year.” Mr. Oren said the company would continue to work toward future contractor mileage rate increases.

Dart has operated with independent contractors for 70 years. “Dart has a long history as an owner operator company, and this increase demonstrates our commitment to their long-term success,” Oren said.

Dart also has one of the strongest fuel discount and cost adjustment programs in the industry, allowing many of the company’s contractors to buy fuel at a net cost below $1.00 per gallon.

Dart operates with 2,200 independent owner operators, and offers a variety of contracts including 48-state, regional, local, and over 20 dedicated opportunities.
