About DATTCO

Today, DATTCO has over 2,400 employees and 29 offices, terminals and service facilities located throughout New England, to ensure customer satisfaction and safety.
DATTCO is a sanctioned carrier for the Department of Defense, an approved carrier recognized by the Transportation Safety Exchange, and has been awarded the esteemed TRAX Insurance Risk Control Award of Excellence. President and owner Don DeVivo is the current chair of the prestigious American Bus Association, the largest tour operator, and motor-coach trade association, nationwide. DATTCO, as a company, is widely respected as a “rock-solid” operation according to Metro Magazine.
Most importantly, DATTCO takes maintenance and safety seriously. The DATTCO Motor-coach Safety Department is overseen by a Senior Safety Director and staffed by a full-time Motor-coach Safety Director, Training and Compliance Supervisor, Driver Trainer and Assistants. Drivers undergo a rigorous 40-hour classroom session, evaluation, and extensive road training prior to being placed in service. DATTCO is one of the few companies that has a driving simulator as part of all new driver and refresher training. The simulator is housed in a full-size motor-coach within a mobile classroom. The entire fleet is equipped with an accident event recorder surveillance system to monitor driver behavior, operation and response to changing road and traffic conditions.
