“Deliver on-time with Dot-Line”

Owner Operators

Dot-Line Transportation is once again expanding its operations, creating 20 new permanent full time positions for Class A over-the-road team and solo owner operators. These positions are available for owner operators living within our hiring areas.

Dot-Line has been an industry leader in the expedited LTL freight market for over 25 years. Our principals are based on sound business relations with our contractors, employees, customers and vendors.

Dot-Line has experienced exceptional growth year after year, this year is no exception. Our in-house account representatives ensure all our trucks stay loaded. The biggest portion of our freight is dock-to-dock, no touch loads. We have established brokers and direct customers ready to load your truck back, during peak service periods, if needed.

Our freight originates in Southern California and delivers to destinations along the east coast, including New Jersey , Florida , Texas and the mid-west. The trucks then return back to Southern California . Five day turns to the east coast and back again are common within our team operation. This assures our contractors receive quality home time without giving up the benefit of a high mileage opportunity. 22,000 plus monthly miles is typical for Dot-Line Teams. This is the reason why we need the best qualified team and solo owner operators available.

One of the many benefits of being a Dot-Line owner operator is we offer everything needed to lease your truck with no out of pocket expenses and you are never required to purchase anything from us. This means you can provide us with your own bobtail and occupational accident coverage, and IFTA permit if you choose too. We offer a reimbursement of your base plate costs whenever your truck runs over 200,000 annual miles for teams or 100,000 miles for solo operators.

If you prefer, we can provide bobtail insurance, occupational accident and physical damage coverage through our insurance carrier at reasonable rates if needed. Owner operators can run on our IFTA or your own, of course general liability and cargo coverage is provided at no cost to all lease contractors.

Additionally, for your piece of mind, Dot-Line Transportation's lease agreement meets or exceeds the requirements of the federal regulations.

If you are an independent contractor with your own authority give us a call to discuss our rates. We can load your truck in both directions.
