What do you think about this idea?

This lady contacts me and tells me that she has 1 truck thats open and basicly they are a small fleet , I guess under Dart and that they would pay me 35/36 a mile for national . is this a good idea? She says they are working on there own authority.

probably because they are contracting her and need your info as well. I don't know the ins and outs of that stuff but it is quite common to do.

Can't really tell. It kinda sounds like she is more of a recruiter than an actual owner. You might get GMAN to give an opinion on this. And while your are at it, throw some pickles at him.

Because I doubt that this lady reports to DAC. Who knows if Dart would, as you are not an employee of theirs. If Dart pays you, then Dart is your employer. Somehow, I doubt that scenario, as it would leave them wide open to a lawsuit by anyone who wanted to claim their O/O's were employees.
