Dot Transportation Terminals
What Is a Terminal?
A terminal is a connection and transfer facility where Dot Transportation, Inc. (DTI) drivers can transfer truckloads of product to other DTI drivers. Terminal locations allow Dot’s dispatch team to route loads in the correct direction and help get our drivers home weekly by preventing cross-country trips.
