Dot Transportation Terminals
What Is a Terminal?
A terminal is a connection and transfer facility where Dot Transportation, Inc. (DTI) drivers can transfer truckloads of product to other DTI drivers. Terminal locations allow Dot’s dispatch team to route loads in the correct direction and help get our drivers home weekly by preventing cross-country trips.
How Terminals Help Dot Move Product
Adds sites closer to partners
Dot has customers in all corners of the country, but we don’t always put DCs in every location that may be logistically convenient. That’s where terminals come in. When we have terminal locations, it enables us to better serve our business partners and hire top-tier drivers like you from all over the country.
Gets DTI Drivers Home Weekly
One of the big benefits of terminal locations for drivers is that it allows DTI to hold to our promise of keeping our jobs regional and getting our drivers home weekly. Since our drivers can do more drop and hooks at terminal locations, it means they don’t have to drive across the country to deliver products.
Grows the DTI Fleet
To continue growing and servicing our customers to the best of our abilities, we have to offer more locations in a variety of areas and hire more drivers. Adding terminal locations helps us grow our fleet and add more drivers to the Dot Transportation team.
What Being a Terminal Driver Means for You
Being a terminal driver isn’t all that different from being a DC driver. But there are a few differences:
- Expected that terminal drivers take more personal responsibility for the location
- Tend to be located in more urban or suburban areas
- No gate station
- Regular phone communication with DTI leadership and managers
- Regular truck maintenance scheduled for your next DC visit so it can be completed by DTI’s in-house garage team
- Develop a tight-knit relationship with your terminal cohort of drivers
- Continuously return to your home DC
- Tend to be located in more rural areas
- Have access to a gate station, driver lounge, full warehouse to dock at, and in-house garage
- Regular face-to-face communication with DTI leadership and managers
- Weekly home time
- Variety of schedule options
- No-touch or delivery driver type options
- Go through DTI driver training and orientation at their home DC
- Regular communication and support from other DTI drivers, dispatch, and DTI leadership
