"I'm very proud of Dart's history, but I am even more excited about Dart's future."

"As an organization, Dart is looking for an established leader, experienced in the truckload industry. Our new president will be responsible for driving and executing strategic decisions that result in controlled growth while adhering to our organization's values," said Mr. Oren, who is the majority shareholder of the company which is owned by the Oren family. "As a family, we are looking forward to working with the new president and our management team in serving the next generation of customer service needs as well as the needs of owner-operators and company drivers. We believe it's best for Dart at this point in time to find a strong leader who can bring an outside perspective and depth of experience into this position."
