Hey all. Just wondering if anyone has any info on them. Would like to hear your thoughts
Haya, Ryne.. it's been awhile!
I'm not sure we have anyone with experience first hand w/them; aren't they food service?!?
Look at threads by THESE guys. . . Rob T. / Papa Pig / Banks (switched from FedEx to Pepsi, but ..similar!)
All I've got for the moment. Rob. T's diary is priceless. He's moved on rather well, with his switching all all; I will link his diary. It's 'close' to what you are looking at, far as I can see. Rob T.'s follow up and link to diary!
Best TO you, for sure!

DOT foods has different divisions. We had a member (Splitter?) That shared some information about them as he was job searching but I can't seem to find it. They have positions you're 2 wheeling product like I did in my diary mentioned, others you're just bumping docks no touch similar to an OTR driver. I believe the dock bumping position is called transfer driver or something similiar.
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

Part of that news article review stated a DOT driver had to reside a certain close distance in relation to their assigned terminal.
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

They are talking about the one from Splitter (a member here, who changed his name to 000 on here when he got butt hurt over something, I think) and then he went back to Prime (last he posted.) I'm looking for it, for ya. . . no guarantees, tho.
