Why DANA?

Why DANA?

The Dana Companies, established by Ron Dana in 1970, started with him hauling hazardous materials. He saw ineffectiveness, bought his own trailers, and began providing services. The company got bigger by acquiring tank wash facilities in key markets, enhancing their services. Over time, they have grown significantly through both organic growth and acquisitions.

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 worst company to work for they make up lies to fire people instead of having a conversation with the employee. They need to be more humble in that mold infested trailer.

Great terminal as far as the people go. Corporate keeps the pay too low, no raise to keep up with inflation. Equipment is ok for some, others stay in the shop. Not the worst company to work for, but do your research if you want fair pay for the work you do.

Ok place to work at. I was told that there would be plenty of work and the opportunity to make good money. It never happened. Dana is dependent upon the customer they haul for to provide them with work, if the company isn’t doing well then there is not much work for the drivers.

What is the best part of working at the company? The best part was the good paying loads What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Dealing with the people in Corporate about my money. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? I worked at a terminal in Lufkin but sometimes went to other terminals and everyone is nice and helpful at the terminals. What is a typical day like for you at the company?

they dont care for anyone...dispatcher is new and you cant complain about her it wont do any good. was told when i started theyll defend to no end. typical day there you will start local and then end up doing deliveries in PA NY NJ you get paid by the loads..so when your done you will have to go to gales ferry ct and swap out the trailer...basically your a shuttle driver at this point. when its all said and done.. once a week you will be a yard jockey...you will go to gales ferry ct and reload trailers...... your dispatcher will let you know the night before what your doing the next day. sometimes not till 7-8 even 9 oclock at night

I love working at Dana companies the pay is great however you have to keep a close eye on your money to make sure they pay for everything on delivery receipt. The trucks are new. Benefits are great. There will be issues everywhere you go. Sometimes the people in office have a hard time taking responsibility for what they do or don’t do. The job overall is great.

A good place to work. As a contractor driver you are given access to all terminals in their fleet. Plenty of work to suit your lifestyle. Dana transport is good for experienced drivers who understand trucking. Rookie drivers might find it frustrating because they don't baby sit you.

I’ve been an owner/operator for 42 years and don’t care where you prefer to work. No place you go is perfect and at Dana Transport you will always hear good and bad but you have to analyze what the Martians say about Dana and they forget to tell you when your down and out and need money for high dollar repairs ie tires, license plates and in general they we’re always there for me. If your a good worker they’ll always help you. There a fine company to work for .
