Eagan, Minnesota – Dart Transit Company announces its 2006 Contractors of the Year: Juan Garcia at the Dallas Operating Center and Jerry Miller at the Eagan Operating Center. Dart Contractors of the Year are selected from its Contractors of the Month and are recognized at receptions held in their honor.

Juan Garcia has been driving over-the-road for 12 years and operates in Dart’s Super South Region. “I am happy to be working with Dart,” Garcia said at the Contractor of the Year ceremony in Dallas. “I appreciate all that everyone does and how the Dart team offers continuous support for me and other contractors.”

Jerry Miller contracted with Dart in 1988. He and his wife Laurie operate a 2002 Kenworth with a Target National Dedicated contract. Together, they have accumulated nearly four million accident-free miles. “At Dart it’s more about personal relationships,” Miller said. “Everybody seems concerned about you. And it’s really family-oriented. Dart’s been real good to us. They really have.”
