Pre-launch — validation phase
America's Transportation
The gate isn't
the destination.
Transportation built around military life. From the first pickup to the last mile home.
AMETION is a transportation company in development, designed around military communities from the start, founded by a retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant. Our proposed first service area is Camp Pendleton and the North County corridor.
Pre-launch. Transportation services are not yet available.
Every mile matters.Concept illustration · not a service-area map
Start focused. Earn the next mile.
We are gathering Rider needs and Operator interest to shape a focused pilot. Paid service depends on the required approvals and preparation.
-
Build the foundation
AMETION is a concept in its validation phase. Corporate formation, insurance, and regulatory readiness are in progress, not complete.
-
Prepare a focused pilot
No rides are being dispatched. There is no app to download, no fare to quote, and no driver on the road under the AMETION name.

Your input helps us understand which routes, service windows, and transportation needs deserve attention first.
Built by someone who made the drive
Dale Dune served 23 years in the United States Marine Corps and retired as a Master Sergeant. After retirement he drove on a third-party rideshare platform, reporting 1,000+ rides with a 5.0 rating as of September 2026.
That combination — the service side and the driver side — is the reason this company exists. The problems AMETION is designed to solve are the ones he watched go unsolved from both seats.
Proposed launch area
AMETION is planned to begin with Camp Pendleton and the North County corridor. One area, done properly, before anything else is considered.
Long-term vision: extend the same model to other large military communities once the first pilot proves out.
Three commitments the pilot is built around
-
Transportation that fits military life
Shift changes, duty hours, gate realities, and medical appointments are the planning assumptions — not edge cases handled after the fact.
-
Operators treated as professionals
A proposed 75/25 split on distributable proceeds, 100% of tips, 100% of wait-time compensation, and a written remediation process before any deactivation.
-
Nothing hidden in the math
Riders and operators should see the same numbers. The proposed receipt shows where every dollar of distributable proceeds goes.
Know where
every dollar goes.
Riders should understand what they pay. Operators should understand what they earn.
Our proposed receipt makes the split visible. This is an illustration of distributable proceeds, not a live fare quote or a promise of earnings.

How one ride would be split
Distributable proceeds = rider fare minus taxes and required pass-through charges.
- Distributable proceeds
- $20.00
- Operator share 75% of distributable proceeds
- $15.00
- AMETION platform share 25% of distributable proceeds. Supports insurance, support, safety, and operations, before platform expenses.
- $5.00
- Voluntary tip Added by the rider, separate from the split.
- 100% to operator
