Why DANA?

Why DANA?

The Dana Companies have been in operation since 1970! The initial founder of our company, Ron Dana, was a lease operator who transported hazardous commodities in the late 1960s. Learning about some improper operations and failed services for the client he was providing transportation for, Mr. Dana bought some of his own trailers, and started contracting his services. His business strategy and service offerings eventually required the purchase of even more equipment, the formation of drivers and dispatch staff. DANA TRANSPORT INC was born.

I think it is a very bad company, one of their drivers damaged my car, the cost is valued at 2000 dollars, call the secretary, a woman so displeased, arrogant, they must be a responsible company and if the drivers cause an accident, be responsible for the damages I think this type of company should not exist.

The drivers are complete garbage and/or drunk and are a safety hazard to other drivers. Had a driver jump a curb in central NJ and launch a garbage can into the road behind him into my vehicle. Of course driver would not pull over to provide insurance information. After reading reviews I can see I have not been the only one affected by their horrible driving. STAY FAR AWAY!

Great company to work for and the pay is great. This company looks out for their drivers to make sure they are paid right. I see a lot of negative comments here and I have nothing but good things to say. Dispatch communication is good (those people who say they are not I’m sure they didn’t ask enough questions about their load). There is training provided at this facility. A lot of Dana drivers are knowledgeable and helpful. I’m very happy working for this company!

The company lacks concern for employees. The new dispatcher is ineffective, and complaints go unaddressed. A typical day involves local starts, followed by deliveries in PA, NY, and NJ. You're paid by the load and often end up as a shuttle driver, swapping trailers in Gales Ferry, CT. Occasionally, you'll act as a yard jockey, reloading trailers. Dispatch notifies you of the next day's tasks the night before, sometimes as late as 9 PM.
