We have a wide range of options to help you find the kind of driving job you’re looking for.

Driver Job Type Options
Handle your own freight by picking up product from suppliers and warehouses and unloading it at our customers’ docks.
Spend more time behind the wheel while customers or other Dot employees handle the loading and unloading.
Share the cab with a fellow driver. Your routes will be a bit longer than single drivers and you’ll split time in the driver’s seat with your trusted teammate.

Schedule Options
Drivers on the traditional schedule at DTI are also known as customer delivery specialists (CDS) and deliver about two loads per week. Drivers on this schedule will be home for an average of two days each week, but this can vary depending on your location and how far away a customer is from your home distribution center (DC).
The four days on, four days off schedule is exactly what it sounds like—you get four days on the road and then four days at home. The best part about the 4x4 is you know which days you are working and which days you are at home for the entire year, which makes planning home life much easier.
Another option with DTI is to have a rotating schedule of six days on the road and three days at home. Similar to the 4x4 schedule, you will know which days you will be on the road and which days you will be home for the whole year.
Work a rotating weekly schedule of four days on the road and three days at home one week, then three days on and four days off the next week. This flipping schedule is popularly called the “four-by-three flip.” (Not available at all locations.)
They get to log lots of miles, are paid well, are treated with respect, and are offered flexibility.
