Dot Foods, Inc.

Dot Transportation, Inc. (DTI) is the transportation subsidiary of Dot Foods, North America’s largest less-than-truckload consolidator in the food industry. But DTI is its own story. We’re home to one of the largest privately owned trucking fleets in the nation, supporting deliveries to all 50 states and more than 50 countries across 15 distribution centers and 30+ terminals throughout the U.S. and Canada. Every truck in our fleet is maintained in company garages by our own team of trained mechanics, because quality isn’t something we outsource. DTI has grown right alongside Dot Foods since the beginning, and the same values that built that business run through everything we do here too. We’re a large company that still operates with a small-town mindset: hard work, honest people, and relationships that last. Drivers are supported with competitive pay, consistent miles, and a culture that actually takes care of its people.
