Dart Transit Co. has raised pay rates for independent contractors. The increases worth $2,400 to $4,200 a year in 2005 will become effective in the first quarter of the year
for most of Dart’s operating options and will be comprised of higher mileage rates and a fully paid base-plate package.
“These increases 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.” Oren said the company would continue to work toward future contractor mileage rate increases. Dart has operated with independent contractors for 70 years, their announcement said.
Dart also has a strong fuel discount and cost adjustment program that allows many contractors to buy fuel at a net cost below $1 per gallon.
Dart operates with 2,200 independent owner-operators, and offers a variety of contracts including 48-state, regional, local and more than 20 dedicated opportunities.
