Change in Operations for New Mexico
 November 2009
 Hurricane, UT

Dear Valued Customers,

During these tough economic times, it is good to recognize our humble beginnings and what has made us "Your Quality Service Carrier”. It is also good to recognize our strengths in this very competitive market. We appreciate your business and your trust in us.

As we review our history of declining tonnage and revenues in our New Mexico market, a decision has been made to cease operations in the state of New Mexico. Long mileage and low volumes combined with minimal results and weak demand from our customers has led us to this decision. Our plan is to close our service centers in New Mexico within the next 2 weeks.

Here is the planned schedule for this change in operations:
     11/20–Farmington terminal closure
      11/25–Last day of pickups destined to New Mexico
     12/01–Las Cruces terminal closure
     12/02–Albuquerque terminal closure

Going forward, this change will allow us to concentrate on our core service areas and continue to provide Quality Service in those lanes.  

We appreciate your business. Please contact the nearest terminal, or your DATS Account Executive with any questions you may have.

DATS Participates in UDOT's "Drive Truck Smart" Campaign
April 25, 2007
West Jordan, UT

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Motor Carrier Services Division continued its educational campaign today encouraging teen beginning drivers to “Drive Truck Smart” with a hands-on demonstration at Copper Hills High School in West Jordan, UT. DATS is participating in this campaign by applying vinyl wraps to several trailers and providing equipment and employees to staff events around the state. At this event, drivers’ education students were able to sit inside the cab of a semi truck surrounded by cars they couldn’t see for the “blind spots.” Demonstrations were also held related to stopping distances. This gave them an up-close look at how commercial motor vehicles behave differently than passenger vehicles.

“As part of our Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan we saw the need to help educate young drivers on ways to drive safely and courteously around commercial motor vehicles,” said Rick Clasby, Motor Carrier Services division director.

“We have received an incredible amount of support from the trucking industry as well, receiving national recognition from the American Trucking Association and other states that want to utilize our educational materials,” said Rick Clasby, Motor Carrier Services division director for UDOT. “Our goal is to reduce the number of deaths resulting from crashes with commercial trucks by 41 percent across the nation by 2008”.

Watch for news about additional events around the state.
