Dart Transit Co. recently opened a new building at its Minnesota corporate office. The new four-level building is attached to the original building at 800 Lone Oak Road in Eagan. Construction on the new building
began last summer and doubled the size of the original to 80,000 square feet. It provides employees with more workspace and contractors with a larger lounge with kitchen and television areas, desks with Internet connection, more private restrooms with showers and a larger laundry with no charges to use.
Contractor services such as settlements, permits, and dispatching are accessible from the lounge. Tractor parking space increased by more than 50 percent and includes electrical power outlets. There are also plans to add a workout center for employees and contractors.
Dart Transit is the nation's 14th largest truckload dry-van carrier, and offers 48-state, dedicated, and regional service with 2,500 independent owner-operators. It offers asset-based rail service through Dart Intermodal Inc., logistics and brokerage services through Advantage Transportation Inc., and storage services through Dart Advantage Warehousing Inc. and Dart Portable Storage Inc.
