Dot Transportation (DTI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dot Foods, is excited to announce higher wages for its drivers fleetwide.
DTI employs more than 1,500 drivers at 11 Dot Foods distribution centers and 16 terminal locations across the country. The pay increase announced early this month is the largest at one time in DTI's history and applies to both full-time and part-time drivers on all schedules the company offers.
"This change is acknowledgement of our incredible drivers and the hard work they put in every day," said DTI President Paul Mugerditchian, "Our drivers are the face of our business. They do much more than log miles. They play a key customer service role in our business and are instrumental in Dot's success."
DTI continually evaluates wages in order to remain competitive in the industry. DTI's driver pay is consistently in the top 10% of the transportation industry. DTI also offers its full-time drivers 401k and profit sharing, paid time off, and a best in class benefits package valued at $22,000.
Dot Foods was founded by Robert and Dorothy Tracy in Mt. Sterling, Illinois, in 1960 and remains a family-owned and -operated business today; the company's sales hit $7 billion in 2017. For more information about career opportunities with Dot Transportation, visit DriveforDot.com.
