If you are a CDL-A holder and you are tired of wondering if your company is going to go bust or cut your miles, you need to look at Dot Foods (Dot Transportation).
They are currently hiring Class A Truck Drivers.
Here is the biggest selling point right off the bat: Dot Foods has never had a layoff in their company’s history. They are the largest food redistributor in North America, and they are famously stable. Plus, their pay package is one of the highest in the industry for company drivers.

What Would You Actually Do?
Dot drivers aren’t just holding a steering wheel; they are paid for every single thing they do (not just mileage).
- The Job: You deliver food products to distributors (not restaurants). This means you are backing into big docks, not tight alleyways behind a fast-food joint.
- Touch vs. No-Touch: They have different roles.
- Customer Delivery Specialist: You unload the trailer (and get paid extra for it). This is where the big money is ($100k+).
- No-Touch Freight: You just drive. You earn a little less ($80k-$90k range), but you save your back.
- The Pay Structure: They use “Activity-Based Pay.” You get paid for miles, stops, pickups, layovers, and even detentions. You aren’t sitting for free.
Why Is This a Good Job?
- The Schedule: This is rare in trucking. They offer a 4-days-on, 4-days-off schedule in many locations. Imagine having half the year off and still making full-time money.
- Profit Sharing: On top of your 401(k) match, they have a profit-sharing bonus. When the company makes money, you get a check.
- Benefits: Their health insurance is top-tier (valued at ~$22k/year) and covers you and your family.
- Vacation: You get paid vacation time after just 6 months, not a year.
Do You Qualify?
They have high standards, but they are willing to train the right people.
The Requirements:
- License: Valid Class A CDL.
- Age: Must be at least 21 years old.
- Medical: Must pass a standard DOT physical and drug screen.
- Driving Record: They want a clean MVR.
- Student Program: If you are new, they do have a tuition reimbursement program to help pay off your driving school debt.
How to Apply
The link you have goes directly to their “IntelliApp” (Driver App Online), which is the industry standard for fast applications.
- Click the Link: Go to the Dot Foods Driver Application.
- Fill it Out: If you have used “IntelliApp” for other trucking jobs, it might auto-fill your info (huge time saver).
- Pick Your Schedule: During the interview process, ask specifically about the 4×4 schedule if you value home time, or the Traditional schedule if you want maximum cash.
Pro-Tip: If you apply for the “Customer Delivery” (Touch Freight) role, you will likely get hired faster and make about $15k-$20k more per year than the “No-Touch” drivers.
