EL RENO, OK… DOT-Line Transportation has been a family owned company for over 35 years. They are specialists in long haul, just-in-time and expedited freight. DOT-Line hauls drop and hook dry van freight in 53’ trailers for retailers with an average length of haul of 2,400 miles and a 30,000-pound payload. Most of the loads originate in California and are delivered on the East Coast with return loads back to California. The primary lanes are I-10 to the I-20 split, I-40 to the I-44 split and I-80.

DOT-Line utilizes driver teams to run this long-haul freight and teams can choose to run 5,000 to 7,000 miles per week on designated lanes and terminal to terminal, working from designated points in CA; MD; PA; GA; OK; MA; and NJ. Teams can be home weekly, every two weeks or stay out running.

DOT-Line owns Volvo 860 and Western Star 5700EX tractors. The trucks are traded every 2.5 years and are spec’d with the largest cabs available as well as APU units, microwaves and refrigerators. The company wants their drivers to be comfortable. While most of DOT-Line’s teams are company drivers, they do lease owner-operators and small fleets and have a lease purchase program as well. There are limited opportunities for solo drivers. DOT-Line requires teams to have one member with a minimum of 2 years of OTR experience, but if the other driver has less than a year on the road, DOT-Line may still be able to hire them, just give DOT-Line a call. DOT-Line has a new pay package and provides a full menu of benefits for company drivers as well as medical insurance programs for contractors.
