Contracting CDL-A Truck Drivers

  • RUN YOUR BUSINESS, RUN UP YOUR PAY - Top earners gross $200,000+ per year

  • THE SMART WAY TO BE INDEPENDENT - Lease freedom without the risk

Why Drive for Dart?

Dart gives CDL-A professionals the chance to run like an owner with far less risk than traditional ownership. Lease Operators get the freedom to choose their loads, control their schedules, maximize earnings, and build a business-with predictable costs and support behind them.

Whether you want predictable mileage pay through the National Fleet, or total freedom with the Open Network, Dart puts you in the driver's seat with flexible programs designed to elevate your earning potential.

If you're ready to earn more, pick your own loads, and build a business on your terms, Dart has the opportunity and support to help you succeed.

Lease Operator Job Details

  • Earn like a true independent. Top Lease Operators gross $200,000+ per year, with strong mileage pay on the National Fleet or percentage pay through the Open Network. Your ambition determines your income.
  • Control your loads, control your money. Book your own freight, avoid freight you don't want, and run lanes that match your goals. No forced dispatch, no dispatch fees, and immediate on-demand settlements keep your business moving.
  • Build your business without the risk. Dart's lease model gives you ownership-style earning power with lower upfront costs, no plate fees, no service fees, and no out-of-pocket repair bills on all-inclusive leases.
  • Run easier, earn steadier. Enjoy 99% no-touch freight, competitive accessorial pay, strong Hazmat pay, and bonuses-including the Dart Diamond Rewards annual bonus and a $3,000 referral bonus.
  • Two fleet paths-pick the one that fits your goals. Choose the National Fleet for predictable CPM earnings or the Open Network for total load freedom with percentage pay. Both options give you independence with support behind you.
