Company Overview

Dot Transportation is the private fleet of Dot Foods, the largest food redistributor in the United States, based in Mount Sterling, Illinois. The FMCSA lists Dot Transportation Inc with 1,853 power units and 2,395 drivers on its January 2026 filing. The trucks run refrigerated, frozen and dry foodservice product from Dot's distribution centers to food distributors around the country, on set lanes, which is why Dot drivers are home more than most over-the-road drivers and why the company is known among drivers for pay and stability. The roadside record is the best on this page for a fleet of its size: 3,541 inspections, 6 driver out-of-service orders, about 0.2 percent, and 99 vehicle orders, under 3 percent, against national averages near 5 and 20 percent. There are 113 recordable crashes over two years. Dot is on this list from driver reports. A private fleet answers to its own safety department and its own insurer, and a record this clean is protected carefully, so the honest expectation is a high bar: a completed SAP program, a passed return-to-duty test, and probably some years since the violation. It is worth the call anyway, because the job is one of the better ones in trucking. Ask whether they consider drivers who have completed the return-to-duty process, and what their minimum time since the violation is.

SAP Friendly — Driver-reported

DOT is on this list because drivers have been hired here after a Clearinghouse violation. Hiring policy moves with the freight and insurance markets, so confirm with the recruiter when you call.
