Dot Foods Information

Some of the Biggest problem u will find at Dot is low pay on mileage and case count an line items and management talking circles around a direct question

 

So, what do you consider low? I made $375 yesterday for one day of work. That was freight and mileage combined. Good piece count and I made it back in one day.

 

Any thing under $325 a day is what I consider low. But here lately it's been a struggle to get $200.00 a day average. A company like Dot we should be making $300 + every day an not just once or twice a week.

 

It all depends on freight and availability. You are setting your sights awfully high to expect $1500 / wk+, that's 78k a year, unless you have a good paying dedicated run.
If you want to make more, tell them you want to throw more freight. If you say that, at least where I am, you'll get buried in piece work.
You need to look at the bottom line too. I've had a great first 7 months, and this month its slowed up a bit. But with speed bonus, safety, etc...it evens out annually.

 

Congrats to you. You'll do fine

 

Remind you I'm not saying nothing bad about the company I like Dot Foods but they pay could be better and I did avg about 1500 a week till the last few weeks and freight is not down its just those 4 on 4 off guys r killing my pay check and I keep telling them that an they just walk a circle around my question and won't answer it

 

Gregh65 I start orientation on Monday in vidalia and wonder just how much breakdown of pallets is required on an average load. I am in good shape but am 55. Thank you for your help.
