Dot Foods is ranked #92 on Forbes Magazine’s list of America’s Largest Private Companies. As its transportation subsidiary, Dot Transportation has grown right along with Dot Foods. Dot Transportation employs many of the best drivers on the road—and it also has one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry. Since Dot is one of the best carriers to work for, let’s explore Dot Transportation jobs and outline how TDI helps you reach your career goals in the transportation industry.
As you’ll soon find out, there aren’t too many industries apart from truck driving that offer starting pay and benefits like these. Since Dot is one of the nation’s largest and most successful transportation companies, they invest in their drivers to fill the enormous shortage of truck drivers nationwide. As far as fresh starts go, Dot transportation jobs are among the best ways to begin a new chapter and earn a competitive salary no matter where you are in life.
Although there are several reasons why Dot is one of the best companies for new drivers to work for, here are a few that stand out.
First of all, Dot Transportation reimburses Truck Driver Institute graduates for truck driver training tuition if their training has been completed within the last 3 years. The maximum out-of-pocket reimbursement is $4,600. This means you can potentially get a massive discount on the total cost of your training if you work with Dot after you graduate. When paired with the financing options that we provide at TDI, you could start your trucking career for pennies on the dollar.
Once hired, new drivers find out that Dot Transportation, Inc., or DTI, has one of the best finishing programs in the industry. This program involves the training you receive from Dot after you complete your instruction at TDI.
As a testament to their commitment to your success, student drivers are compensated $500 per week of orientation and training, and drivers with over 200,000 miles of confirmed experience are compensated $1,000 per week of orientation and training at Dot. All drivers at Dot take at least one week of DTI training classes. After that initial training, students receive up to 8 weeks of training on the road with one of their hand-picked, professional trainers. At many other nationwide carriers, new drivers complete this training without compensation.
In terms of the trucks you drive at DTI, Dot drivers have assigned equipment—and it’s among the finest on the road. Their fleet includes late-model conventionals with stand-up sleepers, 430 hp. engines, autoshift transmission, cruise, and engine brakes. With the newest fleet at your disposal, your safety and comfort are fully taken care of.
Apart from the tuition reimbursement, paid training, and state-of-the-art equipment, DTI also offers an incredible starting salary and full benefits for their drivers.
