    Anybody working for DOT food/transportation out of Modesto, CA?
    I have applied, but have not been in for interview yet.
    Not even a little bit interested in the food service/lumper end of it, just a "transfer" driver, as they call it. (no touch)
    Do they require night driving?
    Will they modify the truck to suit the driver(install inverters, remove cabinets to make room for a fridge, etc)
    Any specific info would be helpful.
    I have a good spot with W/S, but I have always been interested in DOT.
    Thanks.

    No further explanation.

    Jet, you started a thread to ask about DOT when both Chris and I from WPTS Page work there..lol. I dont know why you got the email, but you might want to try again. We are hiring like crazy and need experienced drivers. Was it a generically generated email or from a person? Let me know

    Are they a decent company to work for. Is the home time as advertised? I am interviewing for a transfer driver position. What times are they normally running? Night shifts or what Not. What kinds of places do they run to out of Modesto?
