Dot Foods is the largest food redistribution company in North America. The company was founded by Robert and Dorothy Tracy in 1960. It is still family owned, and several family members serve in various roles throughout the company.
Every week, Dot trucks deliver food and non-food products to thousands of distributors across the US and Canada. In addition, Dot sells products to distributors in over 40 countries outside the United States. The company owns and operates 12 U.S. distribution centers and 2 Canadian distribution centers. In addition, Dot has an affiliate trucking company, Dot Transportation, Inc., with a national truck fleet and company drivers.
Dot Foods purchases products from brands, and then re-sells these products to distributors and self-distributing retailers across all channels, including grocery, foodservice, vending, convenience store, drug, and industrial. Dot Foods has multi-temp capability, meaning ambient, refrigerated, and frozen items and can all be delivered on the same truck. Distributors that buy from Dot get weekly deliveries within 2-4 days of their order, anywhere within the United States.
Dot Foods is a turnkey solution that combines the speed of delivery across North America, with the multi-temp capability and access to distributors across all channels that is simply unmatched in the industry. Distributors and Self-Distributing retail chains can order as little as one case of your product, and it will ship with the rest of their Dot order and arrive the same week. This capability resolves the common supply chain issues that create chaos in your business and unlock your brand’s potential in the marketplace.
