After about 8 months of construction, Dot Foods has started the process of hiring more than 100 people for its new distribution center.
Dot Foods, the largest food industry redistributor in North America, broke ground on the site, its twelfth distribution center, in October 2018 and started construction in November. The new $36 million facility was constructed on 35 acres of land in Bear, near the intersection of Red Lion and Wrangle Hill Roads.
The 188,000-square-foot facility includes offices; dry, refrigerated and frozen warehouse space, a truck yard, and garage to service Dot’s fleet.
Dot is expected to hire up to 125 people in the first year, starting with truck drivers. The company has established a terminal location in nearby New Castle, Delaware, for its transportation operations at 194 S. Dupont Highway. Dot Transportation offers multiple career opportunities for both experienced and new drivers at the New Castle terminal.
Dot will also have career opportunities for warehouse and support staff. Dot plans to employ 200 people by 2022, according to a statement released last year.
